Imagine, ...It smacks too much of socialism for him. Imagine, it will bring the successful government health care program to more people... more parents... more voters.<BR/><BR/>Soon, their bogeyman arguments against the evils of fixing the health care system would start to fall on deaf ears. That's not an option for these people.JP Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16796725364997136448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21503568.post-11221304538341767082007-07-17T15:30:00.000-04:002007-07-17T15:30:00.000-04:00Having lived in Canada most of my life, I can tell...Having lived in Canada most of my life, I can tell you that a universal health care system is exorbitantly expensive - so much so that the average Canadian spends more than half of his yearly income on taxes - and that is with the Americans providing for Canada's defence (Canada's token force is smaller than the NYPD).<BR/><BR/>Those eight million children would not be denied treatment in any hospital emergency room either.<BR/><BR/>Be extremely careful about clamoring for a Canadian-style health care system. If America actually had one, the country would be completely bankrupt within ten years.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01273835203670190756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21503568.post-24075668425374968442007-07-17T09:52:00.000-04:002007-07-17T09:52:00.000-04:00And yet, as with every such revelation, HE'S STILL...And yet, as with every such revelation, HE'S STILL THERE! I just don't understand where the outrage is? I just don't understand why things like this do not cause HUGE HEADLINES.<BR/><BR/>I believe Bush and his evil crew could do literally anything, and yet still he would sit there with his obscene smirk, flipping a metaphorical finger at us all.<BR/><BR/>And even though some Republicans say the right words, yet still when it comes to a vote, they line up meekly to back Bush's interests. It's utterly disgusting.<BR/><BR/>Many years ago, when I first moved here from the UK, it didn't take me too long to conclude that a very large portion of the population was effectively brainwashed. I'm even more firmly convinced of that now.<BR/><BR/>Sorry. I will step down from my soapbox.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15198072683770155918noreply@blogger.com
