13. And it sets the limits for all kinds of things...

but every 1st world country has it, and most third world countries, as well. If all these countries can have this benefit for its people, why can't we? We're suppose to be the richest nation in the world, but our own people go without because they're not rich. National Healthcare has been a spoken benefit for too long, for too many people, for it not to be doing good... even as it fights against restrictions it may have. A good many of these national healthcare institutions were put in place after WWII. But America, true to it's millionaire owners, would have none of it for their citizens. Besides "their" money being diverted to take care of sick people here, they convinced millions of Americans it's better to die than to live with this socialism.
