Lincoln never visited another country and he did ok.

I agree and he is the poster child for experience does not equal ability or judgment.  That said the comparison is not entirely fair as the United States is a much larger world player in 2008 than it was in 1860. It is a very different world from the one Lincoln lived in.

In general, health care has worsened significantly with increased government intervention.

Really, how so and since when?  Medical care is better today than at any point in history.  The issue is access and delivery of health care not quality.

That Tax spending chart is a bunch of crap, where did they get those numbers, from what has been said on the campaign trail?  Geeez you don't think it's maybe done by a mostly republican group. They almost have McCain owing us money. This coming from a man that voted with Bush 95% of the time.  And we know how much government is spending under Bush.

We have a local Tax payers group just like this and the only people in it are republicans.

I looked at their other info and it is mostly anti-democrat. It goes back to the old myth republicans keep trying to feed us, that it is the Tax and Spend democrats. I have 8 years to prove that wrong.

Health care professionals are attempting to see greater numbers of patients in shorter periods of time with decreasing efficiency.  Malpractice concerns as well as managed care issues have both complicated this problem enormously.   

I don't understand what you mean.  Can you elaborate?
