What's this country coming to, when prisoners, i.e. convicts, murderers, thieves, pornographers, child molesters, drug dealers, etc. have greater rights, including a constitutional right to health care, while honest, law abiding, god fearing, tax paying individuals are not being afforded those same rights.

SAY WHAT!
Where in the constitution does it say anything about health care?
Somethings just not right here!

...Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's (R) administration asked the Legislature to provide $7 billion to construct long-term chronic care facilities at state prisons and to upgrade current medical facilities at state prisons...
The upgrades are necessary to bring the prisons health care up to
a constitutionally acceptable standard after years and years of underinvestment.

And some have successfully argued before various courts in the lands that to deny an inmate medical treatment violates their civil rights under the 8th Amendment of the Constitution, i.e. it is "cruel and unusual punishment". I really don't think the Founding Fathers meant that to include "open heart surgery" like Theodore Frank received after spending 20 years in prison for raping and killing a 2 year old.
So, in a nutshell, inmates are the ONLY American's guaranteed free health care.
Sorry.
See what you did? Now you really got me going. I may not even be able to go to work tomorrow.
Thanks! :(
Robert Sillen, Former Healthcare Receiver for the CA prison system, made $775,000 for 15 months work. The man was fired with medical and retirement benefits! That kind of chaps my hide. 11 of his top employes had an annual salary of $225,000 each! They spent around $57,000 on meals and entertainment.
Kelso, the new guy will make $224,000 with a 25% annual performance bonus.
