I guarantee you, if you take one of those people who are not paying
any income tax now and show them what their Canadian tax bill would be
(the templates are on the web if you want to try it)
those people would rather keep their extra $15-20,000 and buy
insurance on the open market. Kids being who they are, they would
probably buy a car and just hope they never have to go to the doctor
tho.

Your "guarantee" wouldn't be worth the paper it's written on.
No logic there.
Those not paying taxes now couldn't come up with $15-20k.
That's why they call it "socialist" health care.
Besides, all these so-called "socialist" countries with universal health
care are democracies last I knew.
They can vote in politicians who would pass law to mimic the U.S.
atrocity health system.
Ever wonder why that doesn't happen?




Everyone likes voting themselves generous gifts from the government.
It is when they have to actually pay the bill that they are in the
street burning tires and carrying signs.
Lets see how all of those socialist countries are doing when their
boomers hit their system.

They average age of Europeans is older and out-pacing our average age.

Don't believe me? Look it up.


I know it, that is why some of them are burning tires and carrying
signs. Greece was first of the PIIGS to blow up but they are all in
trouble. It has already started in UK. You just can't fight
demographics. 2 or 3 kids can not support a retired person and
maintain their own lifestyle, especially when that retired person
expects the same lifestyle he had when he was working.

Before you ask, I live on about a third of my working salary.


Good for you, but as I've said, we aren't Greece. People want to come
here, do business, protect their money.



OK we aren't Greece and we aren't Sweden, now we are getting
somewhere. As soon as you figure out we aren't UK or Canada I think we
will have it.
We are still broke. When you charge 40% of your Visa bill on your
Mastercard you are broke.


We are not "still broke." We've got a problem. There are long term
solutions being proposed. There isn't going to be any short-term melt
down. Feel free to hide under the blanket along with that loony
Canadian.
