It is their job to present us with facts, it is ours to research and figure out just how much is truth and how much is just skewed.

2. In "System Failure" he discusses how there are certain requirments one must follow and have inorder to recieve health care, and how if one does not comply, their healthcare is then revoked, regardless of how or why they did not comply. Do you feel that these rules and regulations on healthcare are to great, or do you feel that it is necessary to have the many rules that they do have? Why?
