Health Care Reform

Ehhh... Maybe in theory, but don't most elected officials already have their financial ducks in a row? I know Mayor Bloomberg is taking a $1 annual salary, and I know George W. made all his money in the oil business. I'm not sure they would really care...

Again off topic, I started thinking last night... Do non-Americans with jobs comparable to an American live the same lifestyle? I'm pretty sure historically Germany and Japan have both had pretty high wages and pretty high unemployment, but it's been ten years since I took that economics class. What I'm asking in a nutshell is, do American workers who do the same type of work enjoy the same quality of life as someone who is not American doing the same thing?
