QUIZ, PART II

Q. What percent of the Total American Family Income is spent on HEALTH CARE?

Q. What percent of the Total Italian Family Income is spent on HEALTH CARE?

Did you guess it?

Americans spend about 22% on health care (and it's SKYROCKETING)

ITALIANS spend less than 8% and, even though it's rising, the increase is

nominal by

comparison.

I wonder how this correlates?

PS If you've ever been to ITALY you have seen the amount of GOOD COOKING,

GARDENING, GOOD RESTAURANT FOOD, GOOD SUPERMARKET FOOD, basic lack of Junk

Food, and how much people there enjoy good cooking, good dining and savoring

their

food.

BIG TIP OFF European cars don't have CUPHOLDERS over there. They stick them

onto our

imports for the stupid " Mericans, driving, phoning, drinking and basically not

watching the

road.
