Craiova was the first Romanian city I ever visited…back in 1994!

Well, you must know that I have not asked any Americans to give money to this project yet…only Romanian’s. I firmly believe that if Romania is deserving of this project, than the project deserves the support of Romanians. The US has enough healthcare problems of it’s own. I can’t ask Americans to give to Romania with a good conscience when many of us lack access to care. But, I will ask eventually…in the US, when we have a good showing of local support from the local community. Regarding dental care and plastic surgery…they are coming here for many reasons…mostly related to price. It’s not that they prefer the system or the care, it’s just that they can often save 10,000’s of dollars by coming…which justify the cost of travel. The costs would likely be lower in the US if we did not have such a litigious culture, and the doctors did not have to pay such high premiums for insurance to protect themselves. Romania doctors have much lower operating costs and can charge much, much less, especially when it comes to elective treatment.

Of course I would not assume a black person with a NY hat is from New York…As an American I understand the difference. But if that man went to China, it might be very reasonable for them to assume he is from New York. So, what I was saying is that if Gypsies from Romania flood a Western European nation, and that is the only contact those W. Europeans have had with “people from Romania” they will naturally assume that this is what Romanian’s are like. They are not yet educated enough about the ethnic distinctions and cultural distinctions to tell the difference…and they may never be able to so long as the Gypsies continue to generate so much bad press in W. Europe.
