I find your definition of "free"  sadly amusing. It's almost as if you 
believe that nobody is paying for it?

So is it "free healthcare" or just some imposed charity? Personally I 
have nothing against healthcare reform with a state run public option. 
I'd also like to see tort reform as a big part of managing costs. 
Unfortunately, this gigantic federal program we're about to be saddled 
with will rob the middle class to care for the poor while leaving the 
rich virtually unphased and untouched.

Aye, the idea of a (constitutional) monarchy was rejected by our 
founding fathers when we booted out your King George so long ago and 
despite the apparent  desires of the Obama administration to import it 
back here in time for his own coronation there are those of us 
"outdated" yanks who tend reject the effort.
