At least we'd have health insurance there.

Why don't you have health insurance here?



If you're like my brother who has rheumatoid arthritis and works for
himself, it's $1100 per month. Try affording that.

That is a lot. And this could happen to anyone. I fail to see what the
Right has against socialized medicine.

It's obvious why any American that doesn't have Marxist leanings would
dislike socialized medicine...it's "socialized." That is a form of the word
"socialism." That's not what we are (remember, it didn't work...that whole
USSR thing, you know?). I shouldn't have to pay for your healthcare and you
shouldn't have to pay for mine. In this country we work to improve
ourselves. The amount of work we put into that endeavor determines our
success. In this country, generally as a matter of socio-economic and
English common law principle, no one is either responsible or culpable for
another's decisions or their down-right implicated existance (unless you're
a liberal that feels that no one can exist without someone else holding
their hand). It's worked until now, let's not screw it up by thinking we're
so much more enlightened now than our forefathers were. By the way, check
it out...Canadian healthcare totally sucks (so does French, British, et.
al.)! People there are going to veterinarians to get certain healthcare
because they don't have to wait for months just to get mediocre treatment.
I will say this if it puts things in perspective, the American healthcare
system is the worst in the world except for every other one. It's a shame
(it really is) that some people don't have health insurance. There were
times when I didn't but you know what? When I got the bill, I paid it.
Sometimes in full, more often than not a little at a time. Get a job, work
hard, make money, save money, invest money. You know, the whole American
way of life thing. It really works. As far a Canadian healthcare
failure...when you take away profit, you take away the impetous to progress.
