Not that I believe everything on snopes, but if someone posts it with their email, before I would send it on, I will verify it.

I wait until some of the options withdraw, and the field is narrowed and I will choose the one I feel would be the best for me.

We all agree that there needs to be change, but how do we get it? I'm not sure, but I'm open to ideas. I will say that healthcare needs some help here. My father has worked his entire life in his own business, he is now retired, has been sick, and even with his health insurance and medicare, he is spending over $700 a month on medicines. When some one can come into this country with nothing and get immediate medical attention for free (basically), there is a problem.

Until it gets down to the nitty gritty, I will listen to all, look at who I like best, but if I like the guy who can't afford to stay in the race, I am still forced to make a choice of the lesser of the evils. I will do more thorough and in depth research at that time.

Okay, back to work for me.
Joy, as loathe as I am to support Wal-Mart in any fashion (they are a sneaky bunch sometimes)... I will say that their present program of cheaper generic drugs may help your Dad. Some of his prescriptions may have generic options... and those are sometimes $4 even. I'm also on meds, for my type 2 diabetes, and they were costing me well over $120 a month, now it's down to less then $30. Big saving.

Check it out... it may or may not work out for him.
