No. You're an idiot and that's a fact.

No fabrication. Canadians we have met do not like the system at all.
Care is being rationed. There are long waits for treatment with
conditions not considered "life threatening". They are not allowed to
go outside the system. Many go to the US for treatment if they can
afford it. Good doctors are leaving to practice elsewhere.

Is that your idea of health care nirvana?

Radical, totally radical. People like you and I with good insurance

Once again...whooooooosh.

I guess you are just too profound for us ordinary mortals. Are you
suggesting that *everyone* should get exactly the same level of health
care regardless of their ability to pay? They have that in Canada
and no one seems to like it very much.

Perhaps you could state your point a little more succinctly.


What I am suggesting is that very wealthy foreigners come here for
health care because the best we have to offer is skewed towards those
with endless amounts of money. At the same time, tens of millions of
Americans get ****ty health care because they don't have the amount of
money our system requires to pay for it. Wealthy foreigners head to
other countries, too, where quality care is available, but that
availability is also there for ordinary citizens, too.

U.S. scores dead last again in healthcare study


What are the criteriea being evaluated and who did the evaluation?



Go look it up. We have typically scored very low in all the standard
categories, esp. if you remember that we spend multiples of what
those who
do better spend.



It makes you wonder why people travel here from all over the world to
get some of our inferior health care.

For specialized operations and treatments we do great. For common stuff
like life-expectancy we rate at the 3rd World level. THAT makes you wonder.




No need to wonder...the best medical care in this country is reserved
for those who can pay for the most expensive medical care.

I don't see you living in a single wide giving away your wealth so that
others can live a better life. Be the example Harry.

Not everyone can eat Filet Mignon at each meal too. Nor can they drink
the finest beverages.

The difference between you and your ilk is that you want to devolve to
the lowest common denominator while me and my ilk want everyone to reach
for the stars and become rich.

Nope. I don't wish where you are on anyone.

Quit drinking, smoking, and eating so much junk food.

Sounds like you've identified your next New Year resolutions. Feel free
to
not wait for Jan. 1st to start.

Does it hurt when you continually bang your head up against a wall?

The point he is making is our worst demographic for life expectancy is
also the worst for obesity, high fat diets, smoking, drug abuse and
death from criminal activity

Not counting too much stress.

Bzzzzt.... of topic Tim!


Bzzzzt... Ol Em-pty headed one. No he's not.

I think he's suggesting that all the people of the US should get at least
the basic care for a reasonable price. As we have it now, there are
millions without care.

As to what they have in Canada, most Canadians find it quite acceptable.
So, you're fabricating like crazy.


Ol EM-pty head. This calls for a cite.

We all know that's a problem. He's trying to use that argument to deny
people basic coverage. He's an idiot.


Em-pty head, you are wacked out crazy.
