When the healthcare discussion about the COSTS of our respective health plans, and the dismal service, thereunder, is not?
Both discussion are, for all intents and purposes, the same. Governments, regulation, taxation, and burdens on those who are actually PAYING taxes, or PAYING for their healthcare--and everyone else's.
I don't see a difference. It's a difference sans a distinction, is it not? Or is the Politics/Religion application only when it's something that's in the news? Or a topic that will play into an election? How do we know that the price of wood, or registration of shooting weapons, or anything else that Kats & Free mentioned, isn't a hot topic in their respective elections?
Hmmm? Why one, and not the other? Just seeking clarity.

Not withstanding the typo (induced by spellcheck), "couple of sub-threads" was indeed referring to that thread as well.
