Americans might be joining the man in video soon if obamacare or whatever the crap name really is. 1. Because Americans will either be forced to legal or illegally leave America. 2. Americans could also be forced to be paid under the table. 3. Americans could also be forced to become homeless. 4. Americans will be forced to work so many jobs divorce rates go high and crime will go high so they can pay for Obama's health insurance. Now I hope Obama goes to hell.
Why? Because most Americans like to listen to right-way bigmouths and tea-baggers instead of real people like yourself. Obama filled in some more holes, but the single-payer fight must go on! I guess we have to take it state by state.
@Sam26100 So why do the vast majority of both people in general and people who have used the system prefer it as it's 8th in quality to the American system that's 37th in quality?
@dave19941000 Because it was rated by socialists, who don't look at the costs to the economy and people's overall well-being. They just say "it's free over in Canada" and ignore the fact that "free" when you can't get something is actually worse than "for sale" but available.
There are towns in Canada where a lottery is drawn every week. A few people get treatment, everybody else gets to wait until the next lottery.
And the tragic irony is? they ARE paying for it, through inflation.
@Sam26100 I live in a verry small town (pop.1200) in the middle of nowere, and guess what, I have good health care, there is no lottory, there is good health care for everyone, and the only people who speek out against it are the people who would make more money under the american system, I have expirienced American and Canadian health care, and Canadian wins by far.
P.S. Are you calling the UN, an agency that has the most acuret information in the world, and has a pro-american bias, socialist?
@dave19941000 You are a frog in boiling water my friend.
You think it's great and you assume that inflation is something that just happens by itself and is not in any way related to government spending or welfare programs.
All welfare and socialized programs are financially unsustainable. All you're doing is piling up debt for some later generation to have to work harder through but as long as you're okay with it...
Am I calling U.N socialist?? definetly. It's collectivist at the root
@Sam26100 I'm not sure if you noticed, but Canada is, unlick the US and Europe, not up to our neck in deat. Canada, on both the Federal and provincial levels, is paying off it's deat and by this time next year we will be making a surplus again. When will the US be deat free? 10 years? 20? 30? And look at France, they have Universal health care, and they're #1 in quality, and they have a low amout of deat. And inflation? Canada's currency is worth 12% more now then in 2005, how is that inflation
@dave19941000 538 billion is still pretty significant. The U.S has more debt because we are even more fascistic
France is in a debt crisis right now! I don't know where you get the facts to say they have a low amount of debt.
remember our own national debt numbered in billions less than 20 years ago as well, you think your 583 billion is small-time compared to the U.S but how long before it baloons same as ours did? your only point is: "we're not sinking as fast"
@Sam26100 Yes, you did have less deat 20 years ago, and if I'm not mistacen, 10 years ago you acualy hade a surplus, what happened? Oh, yea, Bush heppened.
@dave19941000 Ah, it's always amusing to hear the same fallacy from the economically illiterate. It's kind of cute in a way...
There's this thing in economics called a boom and bust cycle, it's been happening since the 19th century actually but only intensified here in the U.S since the creation of the Federal reserve.
If Bush had gotten shot in 2005 you would have looked at our economy and said he was a great president, that's because the boom looks like prosperity but actually isn't.
@dave19941000 Here's a guy from the school that was the best in predicting our collapse in 2007, and hence the ones who understand the underlying problems which caused the financial meltdown. This economist was saying since 2002 that we would have our crash and this is his explanation for why the U.S is hurting...
This is him in 2006 predicting perfectly what would happen a year after this speech...:
@dave19941000 Intergenerational theft through deficit financing is the crime of the century really. Every country is guilty of it. You're stealing from the unborn who have no voices....
Canada 33,212,696 people over 3,511,003 sq mi where California has more people 36,756,666 over only 163,707 sq mi in Canada there are only in some areas 20 people for many miles doctors do not get enough or feel useful enough to stay so amount of docs is low.people now to travel to big city's miles away. when we have that many people just in California docs make more & feel more useful its sad how docs do not stay in Canada less big city's so less hospitals than our California
@repubtodem You realize that your statment is increadably stupid as it makes to sentce and runs under the usumtion there are as meany people in te northern tundra as in the feilds of the prairies or the St Lawrence vally. Canada is the most urbanised nation in the world (75% of population) and we have major cities, and doctors are leaving because your system alows a doctore to scam some one out of thousands of dollars every week, so what would you do, 8H/Day for 80 K$/Y or 5h/d for 250 K$/Y?
When our government can fix the sidewalks or run the schools with better outcomes and less money than the private schools, then I might think they know what they are doing. Our older folks will be sent home to die, and we will still continue to treat illegal aliens - criminals - for free.
We could afford our own healthcare when we didn't have to buy it for everyone else! And the amount that other countries spend is not relevant to the US, where too many are obese, lazy, and don't exercise.
To answer the man in the video - because I don't like hospital holidays... waiting months for treatment of cancer and heart problems... and being told 'sorry, it's not worth treating you, go home and die.'
Hope you find it out yourself, sir. And I woudn't let Congressman Conyers in my DOOR.
Eloquent , succinct, and I love the visual of your card ! I have never seen the health card before now, can you imagine? I am a 51 year old American and never saw before today how very efficient the Canadian health card truly is until I saw it on your video.
You framed this nicely. My hope is that this "single payer" voice of the american people gets much louder so that those in DC will do the right thing.
I support Conyers, HR-676. Please search "Nothing but the Single Payer" and "Forced to Gamble.

US health care spending in 2008: 17% of GDP
Increasing 7% annually (twice the inflation rate)
US health care spending by 2017: 20% of GDP
Other countries with national health care in 2008: Switzerland, 10.9%, Germany, 10.7%, Canada, 9.7%, France, 9.5%
U.S. can't afford national health care?
U.S. can't afford without it !!!
