Rick,

Is it your position that Americans don't die while waiting
for health
care, because of the convenience of the U.S. healthcare
system?
======================
Another mind-numbed jingoistic chest-thumper?

Please enlighten me! Where exactly does jingoism come into
play in my
question?

No. I have stated that the US system has many many faults.
My entry into this 'discussion' was prompted by the deliberate
lies that
kman made about no one dying while waiting for treatment in
Canada.

KMAN has stated on numerous occasions that he didn't assert
that "no one
[is] dying while waiting for treatment in Canada."
=====================
No, that isn't what his latest assertion have been all about. I
suggest you read with a little more comprehension. He has been
asserting that he never claimed that no one is WAITING for
treatment in Canada.

Which is correct. I never did. The only quote you have posted from me was
made in response to your interpretation of a story about people in
Newfoundland waiting for a specific type of test while under a doctor's
care. Whether my interpretation of that story is correct or not, we know
what it does not say: that no one in Canada is waiting for treatment. Since
it is obvious that everyone in every health care system has to wait for
treatment (that's why they have waiting rooms) I neither said, nor believe,
that no one in Canada is waiting.

You know I never said any such thing. You are making a deliberate false
accusation, and you are a scumbag and coward for continuing to do so.
