Why tinker with our health care when it's the best in the world?

[rgG]

Here in metro Atlanta, you can get some generic prescriptions for free at Publix pharmacies. Amoxicillian is one of them. I know this because I had my daughter's prescription filled there and they told me there was no charge. It doesn't matter if you have insurance or not or if you can pay or not, they will just give it to you, up to a 14 day supply.

I was just bringing that up as an FYI, as I think the health care system is severely in need of a major overhaul. I am in favor of a public option but in the very least they need to make it so that individuals can be treated as if they are part of a group, to make individually purchased policies in line with what groups pay.

Here is the info from Publix, in case you know someone who can benefit from it:
