What I Learned About Canada's Health Care Just From Talking To A Neighbor

and why it would be bad for our country:

because rather than treating a patient they will simply be given a pill. if the pill doesn't help--well then, too bad. you die.

oh, and did you know that you have to go to your doctor and talk about how you want to die????

oh, and did you know the cash for clunkers program is such a failure they ran out of money already? and even though the gov. has found more money (and who's paying for it!!!?!?!?!!!) that this program will fail by the end of august and anyone who bought a new car is gonna have it repossessed????


DAMN! you can really learn a lot just by getting out and talking to the neighbors.


(kill me!)

had to do a spell check before i DIED!!
btw--"no misspellings found"

Well, my fathers Canadian girlfriend taught me something about their healthcare system.  You wouldn't believe how excited she was when she got a job that provided private insurance.

I am surprised that the primitive admits to talking to freeper neighbors

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

Indeed - once the flood of Mexicans, Canadians, and Europeans who come to the United States for medical treatment reverses, then Ill feel confident in Obamacare. Not until then.

I went over there, and all they're doing is blaming the media for the fact that socialized medicine is unpopular amongst Americans.  Really.  Or, they're saying things like "there are no words to describe this stupidity."   Brilliant.

I had this same argument with my Mother yesterday, and she's utterly convinced the insurance companies are spreading propaganda to turn people off socialized medicine.  I wanted to beat my head on the dash board, but thought better of it as I was driving.  She a raging moonbat, but I love her anyway.
