All states that have mandatory health insurance
are no longer able to afford Microsoft Windows
or Microsoft Office or any full price software
from Microsoft.
When individuals are required to buy health insurance
by their states premiums are high and then they can
no longer afford Microsoft software such as Windows.
Those states that are spending billions of dollars
partially subsidizing mandatory HMO premiums for
poor peoples mandatory health insurance are facing
bankruptcy. Both states and individuals can save money
by using low cost Linux instead of Microsoft Windows
on all computers.
If you are living in a state with mandatory health
insurance you should lobby that states government
to switch all school computers ( K-12,Communnity colleges,
Universities) to use Linux as their operating system
instead of making you get less of a premium subsidy
to continue to pay rent on Microsoft Windows and
Microsoft office site liscences for schools.
When you buy new computers get Linux instead
of Microsoft Windows for them. Windows can run on only
one computer but Linux can run on all computers that you
own.
Linux has good programming capabilities. Linux uses
the full 32-bit c programming language that can be used
for large programs and not just small programs like
16-bit Liberty Basic or qbasic.
There are some c example programs written for Linux.
Click here for the list of three files for
edelev14 text editor program.

After downloading and compiling edelev14.c and its two headers
wgslater.c and zackvga.h
../edelev14.out
has home gets menu and the end key works differently
so left arrow from beginning of next line gets to right
of line.
There is another c program that uses the same header files
It is vgview07.c .bmp picture file viewer program at the link
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.student.affairs.net/msg/0672e125797761fa?dmode=source&hl=en&
put vgview07.c in same subdirectory as the headers from the other link
and
gcc -Wall vgview07.c -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -o vgview07.out
../vgview07.out
to compile and run the program.
If there is a list of bitmaps ending with .bmp in the same directory
;
,
to get first picture then
,
to get to next picture.
c
changes colormode in vgview07
Different pictures look better in different colormodes.

Mandatory health insurance is unfair to individuals because the
premiums are too high and unfair to states because the subsidies
for poor peoples premiums are more costly than expected
and also unfair to Microsoft because states that have mandatory
health insurance are no longer able to afford Microsoft software
such as Windows and Office any more with all that extra
money being wasted on HMO premiums. The low cost LINUX
operating system is already ready to compete with
Microsoft Windows. If your state has mandatory health insurance
have the schools and universites there switched their computers
to LINUX to save money yet??
