Huh - how about that...
Obama and congress mad-off with my money....
You must be very angry.
If you are not, I am sure if you send a cheque to GM for $1500 or so they
will cash it.
I'm sure you can't actually be seriously making that argument!
I thought it might be a good investment to send Canuck the 1500 so he
can go get his head examined but that'd be a waste. He's got access
to free health care.
Free? You are freaking kidding. Government has justified steady tax
increases for 40 years on the health care theme. Giving Canada the
highest taxed juristicions in North America! Don't trust my word for
it. Plug your numbers into this and find out:

Or, go to the Canadian government tax site and download a T4 Tax forms,
they are only 4 pages as we can't deduct much. No need to calculate
interest on the mortage here. Keep in mind if you use the T4 method it
does not include the hidden taxes of GST, PST, HST, room taxes,
restaurant taxes, utility taxes and booze/cig/gas/electric/heat/import
and taxes you never heard of. If you take your wife out for a meal,
some provinces are 25% tax and that is before the tip.
And after you look at the numbers know that health care in Canada is
rationed, and bed shortages all over. They don't have to compete. One
service provider and no alternatives. If you work and pay taxes you get
better service because they will ask that question when getting regional
health care authority to schedule you. Managed like sheep. Get sick,
don't produce for the government they will put you on a rediculasly long
waiting list.
Americans should riot over this issue, this is a government ploy for
more revenue and herd management of the American people. 90% of you will
have lower health care service levels, for the 10% of freeloaders and
government skiming.
All of you universal government health care freaks need to read this
carefully and repeatedly. Here's your real world feedback from one of
the places you hold up as a shining example of what you want the US to
become.- Hide quoted text -

Who in hell told you that our system is modeled after Canada's?

How is it any different? Government collects health care as government
revenue. Then skims it. In Canada it started nationally as a federal
program. Federal taxes went up big time.

Then when the federal government wanted provinces to do more they
shifted 90% of the costs to the provinces, who raised taxes up the
wazoo. But be damned if the federal government lowered taxes, they
raise them too.

If we took the 10 Canadian provinces and the 50 US states, an ranked
them to the average standard of living. 9 of out 10 provinces rank at
the bottom for disposable income after all is said an done.

When I lived in the US for 10 years, I had to use the system 3 times.
Stupid stuff, weekened warrior broken bones, bursitis the usual. Never
waited more than 20 minutes. In Canada, lucky to be in and out in 6 hours!

You *******s supporting this don't knwo how good you really have it. Oh
ya, it isn't perfect, I don't argue that. Buy letting government do
health care without some severe limits and iron clad constitutional like
law is really freaking stupid. You are in fact better just to tinker
with the system you have than to scrap it.

You think 20% profit by health care companies is bad. Factor in
government general admin costs average 25.5%. That is before skiming
the income for other purposes. By the time the money goes to health
care it will be much less than 50 cents on the dollar...

This is a poly to get the government into the action of health care
money for government profit. Just like the maffia wanting a cut of dope
on the street.

If you can't see that, then the greatest nation is in deap ****.
America is a great society going down the hold from debtors not paying
their debts, and greedy government behaving like the pied piper -- and
lots of sheep want to follow.

Just say no to democratic BS... there is no such thing as free health
care. Does not exist any more than you will work for free.
