and the current postoffices that are in EVERY CITY/town/county etc. are what? chopped liver?

Hospitals should concentrate their space and resources on fixing people, not on delivering or receiving mail. what if some jack ass put an anthrax bomb into the slot? boom lots of dead people. or a conventional bomb? booom lots of dead people. or and incendiary device? booom lots of dead people on fire.
plus youre out a swanky rather expensive research hospital. its like putting up a sign that says PLEASE TERRORISTS ATTACK HERE ITS EVER SO EASY

Theyre excellent sites for care in community.

Guess who?

Liberals have no concept of money, 3.5 trillon to them might as well be 21 figures. Doesn't matter, never did, never does.

.50 cents in the homeless guys cup is the same as 3.5 trillion.

To put it into some kind of sense a moron could relate to, it would take 22,500 years to actually count to 3.5 trillion. Now for all the smart and educated folks where were we 22,500 years ago? the wheel? nope, try wooden tools like spears.

You may want to mention it to the "charge and spend" republicans who keep complaining about tax and spend democrats.

Waging two wars and attempting to start another while cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans is what's moronic.

But, I digress ... when Republican's spend money killing people in war, it's good. When someone advocates spending a fraction of the Pentagon's budget to heal the sick, it's that we have "no concept of money."

Fucking moronic, indeed.

yes the swanky research hospitals with lots of nifty science labs etc would be.

redundent post offices? not so much

It may not be redundant if provided by the federal government. It could be considered a consolidation of services. I was being facetious in claiming that a post research hospital is fully compliant with post infrastructure that enables the public sector business venture of post offices.

Idiotic statement. Please take the doobie out your mouth,

I think we can use a federal research hospital in every state and that is interconnected by fiber optics and a dedicated supercomputer for that system. By acquiring more perfect knowledge of infirmities, we can find cures in a more cost effective manner.

It could also function as another resource in our public health care system that both promotes and provides for the common defense and general welfare of the republic.

Do we really need the expense of the wars on drugs and terror?

From where I sit, his statement was right on point.

I think the government does a good job of running the military, Social Security and medicare. Insurance companies are the villains.

How is it that other countries manage on much smaller military budgets?

The US is the most liberal-splurging country I know of. Conservative in many wayw, but quite liberal when it comes to funding the military and using it liberally all over the world.

The government does quite a respectable job of hiring compentent police, fire fighters, armed forces...

I have no personal experience with the government's current health insurance, eg medicare. But seniors sure seem to get up in arms if you want to throw them back onto the private market. Apparently they prefer it to private insurance despite their 65 years of personal experience with private insurance.
