I still think that rising costs in health care would reduced by a rising dollar, what do you think?

    In the case of the US, it is not likely. The health costs consists mainly of personnel costs, facilities, medication etc. which are produced in the US. Our self-sufficiency-ratio is very high in this sector. A strong dollar will help when most of the things have to be imported. It can be possible only that the health sector is mostly outsourcing to India or low cost countries. But it is unlikely to be possible due mainly to quality control in this sector. In special case, people are going out to see the dentists or perform a sex-transplant in the developing countries. But it is on their own account.

    As much as I think the People of the U.S. deserve to be able to access

    competent and comprehensive health care, truth is this and other issues

    will soon take a back seat to the orchestrated economic upheaval that is

    the freedom street theater that is all the rage in the Middle East. Not only is the supply of oil going to be interrupted soon, but someone has to pay for all the killing that is about to happen. Believe me it's going to escalate! Our interests have to be secured. Yeah; I think the social safety net is going to take a backseat.
