The same US healthcare system that forces many of us to get our
medicines
from
Canada? 8-0

That's not the fault of the healthcare system. That's your fault. How
come
you don't have insurance? What choices did you make in your life that
you
don't have insurance? I'm talking about the socialized Canadian
healthcare
system where Canadians have to come to the U.S. for medical procedures
because they are not available in Canada because the government decides
who
gets what. Why not spend some time in a Buffalo hospital and see where
the
patients are from.


Recently signed legislation prohibits Medicare from
negotiating prices with the pharma companies. Canada is not so
prohibited. If that ain't the system, what is.


Why are you depending on the government (Medicare)? Where is *your*
insurance? I just go down to the corner Walgreens and pay the $10 of $20
co-pay. Of course I planned my life a little better than those who depend
on government, and I am not interested in subsidizing those who are too lazy
or too stupid to take care of their own affairs.


You have such a heartwarmingly altruistic philosophy of life
-- measure up to my standards or FOAD. You're pathetic.
