And once it was all over, we walked out of the lobby, the only expense was the parking, our concern was to move on, not to look back.


I don't know what your point was by saying that there is an upset Canadian regarding the healthcare system, but I can tell you that I've met a lot of Canadians, a lot who are happy, and a few, understandably, that are annoyed with problems that plague our system.

It works for us, we don't have a huge military budget, that is proportionatly about 8 times larger then ours, we care about different things.


There has been such a huge noise about public healthcare recently, and it would be nice for the people so opposed to it to give some sort of solution to the problem of so many uninsured, rather then talk about how the government is turning some sort of communist regime. Public healthcare might not work for US, but now that the debate is on the table, the only thing I've heard from the right is why it can't be done, and nothing else.

What's the point of spending billions to protect Americans through military means if Cancer, heart disease, or some other sickness can kill them at higher rates then terrorism ever could?


Some conservatives say that the number is 11 million, but the number of uninsured, either by choice or due to lack of money is around 30 million. Taking the conservative guess of 11 million, what is your solution for their healthcare? Do they deserve help even?
