Well, to start with a lot of those high value health plan holders
(unions) who have been exempted from the taxes on their benefits.


So do you not value your family enough to want them to have healthcare?

This will be one more additional government program that is

will be suffering sever problems with S.S., Medicaid, government
pensions, military pensions, food stamp programs, etc.
The answer is to cut back on benefits, but with such a high
percentage of the population sucking on the government breast
the politicians can't do the right thing.
We are becoming a third rate nation.

Why is it a foreigner can come here and in 15 years
have a net worth in the top 15%, but a native finds
food stamps, public housing and medicaid a way of life?


Because they are hungry for something better, and have a good work ethic.

The vast majority of "natives" grow up wanting for little, and the work ethic has been bred out of them, instead replace by a sense of entitlement.


The child rearing revolution of the 80's, and the fact we no longer use red ink in school or keep little league score is also a big factor.


Basically, we're raising generations of self-centered, spoiled brats.

As evidenced right here, *some* families actually started that practice 60+ years ago.


Yep! I knew all that, the question was rhetorical, but I appreciated
your answer.
Both my children are in college now, but I hope that watching their
parents live well below their means for the 18 or 20 years of their life
has rubbed off on them.

If his "conservative" pals in Congress had such a plan, they would
publicize it. That don't have a plan. They resist, stall and otherwise
bulljive - because they DON'T ****ING BELIEVE in "health care affordable

"Equitable" is just another bull**** excuse. Life ain't fair, or
"equitable." Never will be. Everybody over 6 years old knows that.
"Equitable" is just a word for gov tit-suckers like you to justify your
SS and Medicare. That's "equitable." Anybody else feeding on the gov
tit? Not equitable. You ain't fooling anybody, socialist.

And if you mean it, lay out how to do it.
You won't, because you can't



Let's stop right here and cut your insane bull****. What makes you think
one man can come up with a plan that is both affordable to all and
equitable?


More bull**** from the peanut gallery.
If his "conservative" pals in Congress had such a plan, they would
publicize it. That don't have a plan. They resist, stall and otherwise
bulljive - because they DON'T ****ING BELIEVE in "health care affordable
for all." That's NOT a conservative principle.
"Equitable" is just another bull**** excuse. Life ain't fair, or
"equitable." Never will be. Everybody over 6 years old knows that.
"Equitable" is just a word for gov tit-suckers like you to justify your
SS and Medicare. That's "equitable." Anybody else feeding on the gov
tit? Not equitable. You ain't fooling anybody, socialist.
You're no better than the lame pols saying what they don't mean, or
Eisboch calling himself a "conservative" and saying it's "admirable" to
have "health care affordable for all" in one breath.
Just plain old contradictory bull****.
And you're full of **** too.
Quit ****ing lying. Low-life liars are not wanted here.
Not by honest people anyway. It's ok to circle-jerk with Justwait.
I won't notice. I'm back to ignoring both of you.


So be it, you ignorant fool.

Well, to start with a lot of those high value health plan holders
(unions) who have been exempted from the taxes on their benefits.


If only you had the skills to be in a union and have decent health care
insurance, eh?

Whoa, where did you get the idea it takes skills to be in a union?

-----------------------
No it was at least the 1980's. And the wait was not because of rationing,
was because the person was not a Canadian citizen and could not pay for the
cost of the broken bone. I had to visit the hospital in Sorrento, Italy in
about 2000. Cracked a tooth and tooth ache. They have a doctors office at
the hospital (PRONTO SOCCORSO or spelling something like that) where anybody
could go no charge. If you needed more than they could do, and you were not
a member of one of the European Health Care groups you had to pay. We fix
you up here, no matter your citizenship or legality. They will try to get
the money from you later, but you are fixed first. No assets, then the rest
of us with insurance and taxes pay for your care. I think San Diego figures
$155 million a year for medical care for illegals. A lot of money the
taxpayers have to pay. How do you handle illegal immigrants in Canada?

returning from a ski trip to Whistler, young 20 something is getting
aboard
the airplane with a broken bone. Do not remember if leg or arm. She did
not have the money to pay the Canadian hospital to have it set. So no
service. If we did that our costs would be greatly lowered and there
would
be a huge outcry about our heartlessness. I am just home from a trip to
the
hospital for clumsiness. Fell off the roof fixing the solar. Ladder
slipped. They did not ask for any insurance info before the trauma team
started working on me. In ICU The next bed had a welfare patient and the
other side had a non English speaking man. Don't know if he had
insurance.
So we treat everybody that shows up, No difference in care. As to making
healthcare affordable. How? Did not increase the number of doctors or
beds. My complaint on Roberts ruling is he sidestepped the issues. Just
saying the act is a tax. Geese?


"whipped out his credit card"??
You must be talking about the early 60s.
In this province the wait for things like knee and hip replacement can
be slow... But normal health issues usually get same day service
depending on the severity the problem.

-----------------------
No it was at least the 1980's. And the wait was not because of rationing,
was because the person was not a Canadian citizen and could not pay for the
cost of the broken bone. I had to visit the hospital in Sorrento, Italy in
about 2000. Cracked a tooth and tooth ache. They have a doctors office at
the hospital (PRONTO SOCCORSO or spelling something like that) where anybody
could go no charge. If you needed more than they could do, and you were not
a member of one of the European Health Care groups you had to pay. We fix
you up here, no matter your citizenship or legality. They will try to get
the money from you later, but you are fixed first. No assets, then the rest
of us with insurance and taxes pay for your care. I think San Diego figures
$155 million a year for medical care for illegals. A lot of money the
taxpayers have to pay. How do you handle illegal immigrants in Canada?


Nope. Walked into the hospital, they asked a few questions, took him
back, stitched him up, out within a half hour total, no money exchanged.

The solution to the money problem is rationing. Welcome to the queue.

That's how it is in Canada - 2 and 3 month waits to treat conditions
that are not considered life threatening, things like dislocated
shoulders for example.

Those are the extremes, not the norm. I was in Canada a few years back,
camping in Algonquin and my friend split his toe open. Went to a local
hospital and was in and out in 30 min.

Put them up in accommodation, provide a generous living allowance and
pay for the most expensive lawyer available to represent them. Don't
tell Snotty!


Don, I don't know what you are thinking you are so superior for. You
pushed a broom all your life and sat on a bar stool after.. Then you
shipped your mom off to a home and you have been talking about spending
her money ever since... Now go get drunk and beat your fat cow, she's
all you have left, right???


Once again showing how low you can go.

What would Terri or Inky's wife think of your posts in here?
Not much, I trust.


I dunno' how about you and your buddy here all day long bullying and
slandering, then crying like the punk bitch you are when I say something
back? Do you think your family would think you were tough? I think they
would think you are a punk.


Saying disparaging things about someone's family members is about as low
as a human can get.

Well, then you should tell me the rules... You and your two buddies
bring me up no less than twenty times a day here, and I say something
back, you cry... Sorry I don't spend my whole day here like you three
(get lives, really) but I have to get it all out at once. So, what do
you think when you spread the same lies about myself and my family
situation that harry and don make up? Guess you are the pot, I am the
kettle...
