America should help smaller countries, but first we need to get our own healthcare in line!! on the list of countries that have the best healthcare, we are right above Slovakia!

the "H1N1" virus is completely irrelevant, it has killed far less people than the regular flu. It's just another government scare tactic! and I'm not falling for it. People who die from it are not normal, healthy people, they are elderly, or their immune systems are already in some way compromised, not that their deaths are less valuable, simply that their deaths are not so alarming.
No one needs to be vaccinated for anything, except for in very special situations!!
I did not vote on this because there was not an "other"category.
Yes we should indeed because if us low income people can't afford the vacines or medications we need it'll spread around and there will be no way out.
There are two different points of view, each with a powerful argument. If the U.S does help, billions of dollars will be used to acquire those vaccines for the poorer nations of the world. If done that money will most likely be added to the "tab" that is being handed down to the future of our nation. Then Again, If we do not help, Millions could possibly die... It makes you truly think about the real value of a dollar. I would most likely say that the U.S should intervene and provide money to poorer nations.
