Bush had 2 moles removed from his face - could you afford to do that?

I don't have health care even though I have asthma and require 3 prescription drugs per day. I'm getting by using my emergency inhaler 5-10 times a day. I can't even afford a check-up at the dentist.
Is it fair that a jerk who makes $400,000 a year, and God knows how much on the side, gets medical care coverage for free?

Yes it is fair. He is the leader of our country, he works harder than most people can even dream about so who cares if he gets a few perks??

The Ranch in Crawford is far from a vacation. Here are just a few of the "amenities" the ranch offers.
Secure Communications to the White House.
A "Western" White House Briefing Room
A state meeting room for entertaining guests such as
The Israeli PM
Tony Blair
Iraqi PM
Russian President Putin
A Cabinet Meeting Room
I would love to have a vacation with all of those things... Not to mention the house guests that normally accompany him to his ranch... Including but not limited to the VP, Sec of State, Sec of Defense, Chief of Staff, Chair Joint Chiefs.
And the reading material in the morning is awesome. On top of the normal papers, there are also the security briefings, the legislative briefings and whatever other matters need urgent attention.
Great vacation.

Yeah its fair. Is it fair that anyone else has health insurance benefits because of their job or because they pay for it? Yes. Bush got a political office and therefore gets perks, he also has his own plane and a bowling alley under his house....
