Harry,
I have to say your macro seems to demonstrate a lot of deep seating anger
and resentment. Especially since I have always been polite in all of my
posts. This might explain why you had the outburst at Best Buy.

By the way, were you able to find the product you wanted at another store?

Here's a new macro for you, buttbrain:

I'm not interested in your directing towards me your opinions, your
suggestions, your commentary, your questions or, in fact, any of the
crap
you eject into this newsgroup. I've told you this many times. Anyone
else
with a working brain would have taken the hint by now.
You are not now nor anytime in the future going to be able to engage me
in any sort of discussion on any topic. All you are going to get from
me is a canned macro. Now, be a good little dicquehead and run off and
play with your retarded right-wing buddies here.

I am sorry, once you have been labeled a liberal, you have to live with

that

albatross the rest of your life.


Good Morning Lord Smithers: You are wrong! Totally wrong! Where is it
written that I have to have the label "Liberal" given to me for the rest of
my life? Oh....the humanity! My Conservative family will be devastated!

Anyway, who is it that makes the decision to place these labels on others?
Is it you?

First of all, it would be universal health insurance, not healthcare,
since anyone requiring care gets it regardless of the ability to pay.

Absolutely it is universal health insurance.

The problem with unviersal guvmint insurance is that it make everyone
suffer the same. Which is one of the goals of liebrals.

This would not neccessarily be true about one insurance policty fits
everyone, remember, my suggestion is to help keep yours and my costs as
low
as possible. Today, you and I are paying for all those without insurance
already. I would rather pay for cheap preventative care, than expensive
treatment due to lack of preventative care.

I agree that insurance companies would be better off pushing preventative
care and assessing higher premiums for not doing so, such as smoking etc.

Just as people can buy different health insurance today, different auto
insurance today, there is nothing to say we all have to have the same
health
insurance.

That was NOT the case with "hillarycare"


If I can afford better care because I work my ass off, then I should be
allowed to do that.

And you would not be required to us a national health care program if it
was
offered. In most countries with universal health insurance, there are
private health insurance providers for those who don't want to use the
limited govt. resources.

The idea is to find a way to lower yours and my health insurance costs.

The way to do that is higher deductibles. If people have to spend their
own money first, they will not rush to a doctor with a sniffle.

I pay $147.00 a month for insurance.

Paul,

I agree that most cities have a hospital whose emergency rooms do not
turn
away patients. The problem is this is the most expensive way of
dispensing
healthcare. People are using emergency rooms when a less expensive
doctors
visit would suffice.

Since you agree that you and I are already paying for those w/o
insurance,
it is in yours and mine best interest to make sure we have the least
expensive program in place to provide universal healthcare.

"P Fritz" wrote in message

I disagree. The source of the problem is guvmint in the first place.
Emergency rooms don't turn away the non critical care for fear of
being
sued, and when you have health care coverage with tiny deductibles,
people
think nothing of squandering the health care resources, and the third
is
the
unnecessary test done to cover ones ass.

The number of uninsured is far overblown as well

JimC,

Bert's theory is a conservatives in Canada are as liberal as an
American
Liberal. He was not talking about any US party or group. I did
like
the
Canadian's Conservative's strong fiscal responsibility, which is
lacking
in
the US's Conservative Party. This is something we need to
understand,
we
cannot continue to spend more than we bring in.

I looked at the web site and most of the principles are ones that
conservatives from America would endorse. The only one I noticed
that
is
being hotly debated in the US today is universal health care. I for
one
believe this will become a fact in the US. I am concerned about the
inefficiency of all Governmental programs, but the current system is
not
working. Those without healthcare insurance are not being treated
when
an
illness can be treated inexpensively, they are going to emergency
rooms
when
they have severe health problems. Today, all Americans are paying
for
their
very expensive healthcare anyway. It would be cheaper for all
American's
if preventative healthcare was available for all, either through a
mandatory
private insurance companies, subsidized for the poor, or a Medicare
type
program. This is a 180 degree change for me, but I know our current
system
is not working.

Lord Smithers, I am definitely not a Liberal so please take me
off
your
list
as I am a card carrying member of the Federal Conservative
Party
of
Canada.

Makes you a Liberal/Progressive in the USA.

Good Morning Bert:
How could my being a member of a Political Party in Canada make me
a
member
of a Political Group in the USA. Are you that dense that you
think
a
Canadian Citizen can be a member of your voting group? You need
to
go

Don,
Do you think it is funny that the person who is complaining about someone
making a joke about "labels" comes up with a new label called "The Gang of

I know you find the burden of your albatross to be very heavy, if I can help
in anyway, let me know. I might be able to make an exception in your
situation and let me become a member of the one true "label".

The down side is that policy (economic, forgeign etc) can change at
the
drop
of the hat. Here in the states, things remain stable (as in
direction)
for 4 years.

In Canada, under Parliamentary rule, if the government screws up, we
change
the government. Under your system, if the government screws up, your
stuck
with it!

If you are a clear thinker, which is best?

I still feel the US system is better, we are not "stuck", there is a
removal process, the bar is just set higher than a change in the wind

No Mr.Fritz, you are stuck with the same government. You can get rid of
your President but the government stays until the next election. We, here
in Canada, can change the government.

Don,
There are many in Canada who pay for separate health care insurance and/or
healthcare private system in Canada or travel to the US to use US private
healthcare.

Paul is not unique being willing to pay a premium for premium healthcare.

You are partially correct, Lord Smithers. I, for one, did pay a premium
with a private insurance company for "special" treatments such as private
hospital room instead of a ward bed. I also had dental care and eye
glasses paid by the insurance company. The very rich get special
facilities because of the higher price that they pay in insurance and the
very poor don't pay anything as the government takes complete care of them.
The reason that you were only partly correct is that there is not "private"
health care available, here in Canada,
Jim C.
