The article is kidding, right?  How about reeling in that foreign aid?  How about not giving SS, Medicare and Medicaid to foreigners that plop themselves here, but haven't contributed 1 red cent to anything, but get to reap the benefits?  Some posters are correct in saying healthcare costs are out of control.  Hospital...more
