I have heard that Obambi’s health care package is intended to cover non-citizens. That’s code for illegal aliens. Can anyone provide a link to the document?

“And American’s are traveling abroad for surgeries since our private system is sooooooo expensive. Except the poor of course, all they get to do is pray to get better.”

#65. In Canada, people are going to private facilities even though they are basically paying twice, since gov healthcare is tooooooo slow.

“Go jump in the lake, Delia.”

Awwwww. Ran outta gas, harpy?

The lake actually doesn’t sound that ‘refreshing’ though. All of this ‘global warming’ is freezing my lily white arse off.

“If government health care is so good, why is there an upsurge of private healthcare facilities in Canada?”

Because a combination of private insurance and a public plan are the most efficient systems.

“He has already stated that he and his family will not limit themselves to ‘government coverage’.”

And he has also made it clear than no American will be limited to the “government coverage”.

Geez.

Jharp’s statement seems to highlight the baseline problem here:

“He didn’t put all of his eggs in one basket. He gambled because he had social security to fall back on.”

I don’t know the point you’re trying to make with that, but it’s either “He was dumb” or “He was dumb like a fox.” I agree on both counts:

He’s dumb: I too have little sympathy to those who put their money into “sure bets” expecting to come out on top. I feel a bit sorry for the ignorant who lost their 401ks, but the bank and mattress methods still work well too.

He’s dumb like a fox: I also believe that people act with more risk when they have some assurance they’ll be taken care of. That is probably the fundamental argument against government provided healthcare.
