Scumsucking lowlife poor bastards are there by their own accord and have had every opportunity all of us have had... they're just useless though and are leeches on society. They should get off their asses and get to work.F Me In The Brain said:It is because people with some money are all soulless capitalist pigs. You should ask most of the people on these boards, they will tell you.

Do you really think the majority of people on this board feel this way? I get the flip on what I posted, and I found it funny, but the mention of Mob Attack on health care criticisms & this post make me laugh. The forum would appear to be at least 2/3 people who are in agreement with charging more taxes to the wealthy and with American health care sucking as a general premise.Thirty Bills Unpaid said:

How are those Kardashians that your healthcare system "gave birth to" doing for y'all in Murica?Anything you lose from being honest

If you have no skin in this game why do you feel the need to jump in. I never brought up health care in the first place. When you posted slamming the American health care system it opens yours up as well. The whole point of this thread was to bring up that I worked hard to get where I am at in life and with the state of our government here I do not want to see taxes increased. So if you don't want the flaws in Canada pointed out start your own thread tooting your health care system. If you want to slam our system that you are not a part of you shouldn't whine or complain when it comes back your way. Or is that too capitalistic for you.northerndragon said:
Good luck getting any sort of a fair conversation out about this or not getting mob attacked for your opinion. While the first article he posted is moot because that shit happens in every healthcare system, the second one is something we do have to deal with up here. As you said our system is not perfect and has its flaws.PJ_Soul said:

I specifically pointed out that people die specifically because they don't have enough money. You said that wasn't true. I posted links to provide some evidence that it is.
You posting a link about some errors that have occured in Canada's system is irrelevant to my point. And of course no system is perfect - I never claimed Canada's is. But it's a hell of a lot better than America's specifically for the point I'm making. I find it so odd that so many Americans support a system where insurance companies profit from witholding care and poor people die because they can't afford the healthcare. It's crazy.
But I agree the American health care system is just sickening in its interest in profits before anything else. When you suggest anything different you get this response like you are telling them you are taking all of their "freedom" away.
I guess we just have to be happy we live in a country where we were brought up to think of others along with ourselves, rather than just clawing for 'what is mine'.Tom Brady & Donald Trump, BFF's

Just to clear and accurate, rr brought up our healthcare system. We didn't drag this into the discussion he did. His comments were addressed, however just because you don't like the answers doesn't mean we don't know what we are talking about.Amongst the Ani said:

Also who says I have no skin in this game? Are you implying that I need to be told when I have a vested interest in a conversation and when I don't? Thank you sooooooooooooo much for that, I have no idea what I would do without some good ole boy telling me what to think and when.

Amen to that!PJ_Soul said:
No, just going off of facts and combining them with my opinion that healthcare is a human right that shouldn't be determined by how much money a person has or by greedy insurance companies who profit from witholding proper care.rr165892 said:
Pj,a little biased are we?PJ_Soul said:
Because they can AFFORD to pay for faster service if they want it (they don't NEED it). Holy, your comment really frustrates me.rr165892 said:Indeed they are 30.No arguments here.
I personally have no problem paying my share.In fact I pay way more than my fair share.Both on the personal side and on the corporate side.
I give a whole hell of a lot and take very little.Same goes with my property taxes and services at a local level.
I feel I have the right to want my $$ paid in not to be wasted and squandered.Fiscal responsibility is a must.
I will ask you this.Why does some of my family who lives in Canada come to the states for medical care? If the system is so good why do they need to do that?
Same goes with people I know in England.Need medical care for a sick kid,I hope you like to wait unless someone is in trauma?
The medical system in Canada is just fine. Room for improvement in terms of wait lists of course, but no system doesn't have room for improvement. There are waits for some things, not for others, but never for life saving things, or even potential serious concerns (i.e. if a doctor thinks your symptoms could possibly be related to something serious, you don't wait at all for scans or tests or appointments), and no one ever goes broke because they get sick, and no one dies because tbey can't afford a surgery.
I would MUCH prefer waiting for a hip replacement over people dying or going bankrupt just because they can't afford to get cancer or a transplant. The US system is fine and dandy for people with money... and I consider the US system a massive human rights violation. Disgusting. I can't believe anyone could possibly support a system where profit is made from not treating people. I don't even understand why it's legal.0 -

Way to stay on topic and mature. Also it's called royal vernacular, look it up.
I like how you feel you can diss onsomethinganything to do with Canada but the minute that gets turned around, y'all get the vapours. Enjoy that double standard, it looks good on you.Anything you lose from being honest
