I don’t like the long indentured servitude status of H1-B. I think it should be 1-2 years tops. This “free Agency” keeps US Business’ from hiring just to save costs (they’d never do that). The hiring should be about filling a shortage in a skill area.

I think you’re making some assumptions about typical new Indian and Chinese and, to a lesser extent, Filippino, immigrants to the US that just may not be correct.
There’s a lot of evidence that incomes of Asians in the US are higher, on average, than incomes of average non-Asian Americans. It’s certainly true for Indians and Chinese, and the average Filipino income in the US is about the same as the average for all Americans.
For your reference, here is some public US Census Bureau data supporting this:

June 16, 2007 at 9:52 AM #59793CoronitaParticipantw_a_d, I assume that China is universal health care, too, like Coooba. China also offer universal 'unhealthcare,' if you are child number two, or a daughter, or a Falun Gong prisoner selected to 'donate' your kidney or liver to a cash-paying Westerner on the mainland for a transplant.
Typical CNN propaganda. What’s worse, killers wasting millions of state funds oeath row, because they have a right to live? Uh, that makes sense.
BTW: an MRI in China as the best hospitals is a few hundred dollars..Far superior than what you could get here on medicare. You think healthcare is great here? Maybe 10 years ago. BUT, what you don't realize is that hospitals here have been outsourcing diagnosing a lot of your X-rays/MRIs etc to some dude in india that probably have questionable medical experience. It's a game between insurance companies and you. The figure statistically the number of misdiagnoses will be somewhat lower than average, so too bad for that "unlucky" ones that get misdiagnosed. Go figure.
And of course in such a civilized society like U.S., there is no such thing as people who steal body parts and sell them, right?

June 16, 2007 at 1:01 PM #59831what_a_disastaParticipantChina do not have a socialized medical system. It’s entirely private.

June 16, 2007 at 4:32 PM #59873AnonymousGuestStealing body parts from dead people is bad.
Killing live people for organs is horrific:

June 16, 2007 at 7:44 PM #59895temeculaguyParticipantI love hearing how other countries have better systems, healthcare or otherwise. You cannot believe any statsistics from a country that controls it’s media to the extent they do. In an open society such as the U.S. there is an entire indusrty trying to find injustices and error by government, corporations or institutions, it’s called the media and lawyers. I dislike them as much as the next guy but they actually force the various systems to improve. How would a Cuban or Chinese version of a Michael Moore or Mike Wallace fare in a communist country the minute he said something negative.
BTW The World Health organization in a study done in 2000, the Chinese public health system ranked 144 of the 191 UN member states ranked. I looked at that study and most of the ones that were worse were in Afica and Kenya beat them. And the WHO also said that the system in primarily private.
