What a great guest!!! However, I think all Americans should have healthcare from BEFORE birth until death….and for free. Well, not for “free” exactly. I think that the cost of it should be paid for out of the salaries we should NOT be paying to our elected officials who are sucking at the tits of the lobbyists. I guess that is a debate for another guest.
