Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] Sliming Graeme Frost

[Rick <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

So, to sum this up, because of one child, we should turn over the
trillions of dollars Americans pay for health care to the government so
that they can dole it out? 

Oddly, I listen to a fair amount of right-wing propoganda, I've this is
the first mention of Graeme Frost I've heard. What has been said to
smear the kid?

Lastly, I tend to align with Scott here. I'm vehemently opposed to
socialized health care for adults, but would be fully supportive of
socializing health care for children under the age of 18 *if* it were
mandatory (i.e., every kid, not just the poor ones).
