Why not here? <br><br> The $1.7 trillion, or about $6000 per person, that was spent in 2003 could provide decent medical care for everyone. We will look at where the money goes and show how it could be done - - with money left to spare.  <br><br> There will be a short presentation from a revolutionary socialist viewpoint. Then we'll open up the floor for discussion.
