No offense, but there are people shacked up in hospitals for months at a time waiting for a nursing home room. Family practioners are having a harder and harder time finding specilist to see their patients. Three to six month wait for orthopedic surgery. The MRI and other high tech imaging gap. People are waiting up to 30 months to see for one. Higher chance of death after a heart attack. I could go on and on, but these are serious issues.

Anyways, y'all have a beuatiful country and I love it up there, but this universal thingy just ain't workin' for y'all.
