Our monthly health insurance payments are now more than our
monthly
mortgage payment. For us, health insurance is our single most
expensive
monthly expense, and
that doesn't count the co-pays and deductibles we must pay
before
insurance kicks in.
===================

I wonder if yours is a special case or if this is played out
across the
USA. [rhetorical question]

What I find curious, and we've been down this road with Scott
and rick
on a previous thread, is why it is seemingly appropriate for
Scott to
cite a newspaper article, reporting on one particular
healthcare-related anecdote, but inappropriate for KMAN,
Michael, or
BCITORGB to cite anecdotes about friends and relatives who have
had
admirable care.
=======================
Who said it wasn't? The problem with kman was that he made a
statement that was proven to be a lie. That some people in
Canada recieve proper care was not the issue. I'm sure there are
millions that recieve adequate care. The sites I posted
presented data about people that died while waiting for
treatment. Be it one or tens of thousands makes no difference
to the claim kman made that no one is dying. He was proven to be
lying. Are you now saying that no one ever dies while waiting
for treatment?


More to the point, I know of not one person in my
circle of acquaintances who as had to wait for a necessary
procedure.
=================
Again, that doesn't refute the data that people HAVE died while
waiting, and are you now claiming that no one is even waiting for
treatment at all?

Every single health care system in existence has people who die while they
are waiting for treatment.

No health care system is perfect.

If you look at the sample of people in this newsgroup, of those who have
personal experience with the Canadian system and US system, it seems clear
to me that the Canadian system is vastly preferred.

=======================
That was never the issue being discussed. You might like it to
have been in an effort to devert the spotlight from your lies,
though.

There weren't any lies.

But you don't want to talk about the issues, that's why you are engaging in
this childish and pathetic attempt to at personal petty attacks.

There weren't any lies.
================
Yes, there were. First you claimed that no one dies waiting for
treatment, and then you claimed no one waits for treatment. Do
try to keep up.


But you don't want to talk about the issues, that's why you are
engaging in
this childish and pathetic attempt to at personal petty
attacks.
========================
LOL I have addressed the issues. YOU have tried to do
everything you can to avoid them. Why is that? You now realize
that you were lying?

rick, can you not stay on-topic on the OT thread? Why do we care what
KMAN said on another thread? Why not resume your "did too" stance over
there...

You have yet to contribute anything that suggests a better alternative
to the Canadian system. Can I assume you know of none?

Otherwise, whatever your contributions: BOOOORRRRRING!

========================
Because you ailed to stay on-topic of the off-topic post. You
are the one that mentioned the thead, and continued you 'side' of
it.
And, in case you failed to notice, I replied to kman after he
responded to me. Do try to keep up.
