I live in Canada. Our medical system is not perfect, I'll tell you that. But the fact that I don't have to worry about being able to AFFORD going to the doctor is priceless.

The MRI comparison is also irrelevant. One thing that has to be considered in Canada especially is population and geography. We simply can't have an MRI machine in every city because of the population + size of the country. It cant be compared to the USA in that sense.

DAVIID HILL,
Now you're calling insurance companies fascist?! Do you even know the meaning of the word "fascism"? You're just spewing ad hominem remarks again. The well-known criticisms of the insurance industry have nothing to do with the tenets fascism. Here's a novel idea: become informed on the health care issue & then speak about it in a constructive, accurate & detailed manner. Cause you're not doing that now...

Fascism comprises corporatist economic ideology. Fascists believe that nations and/or races are in perpetual conflict whereby only the strong can survive by being healthy, vital, and by asserting themselves in conflict against the weak. I'm a sure a pay-or-die system of health care that denies you coverage for being too sick fits the bill of fascism.I've never been in the habit of resorting to logical fallacie like ad hominem attacks because they distract from the issue. I'm semantically correct

First of all, no, fascism doesn't comprise corporatist economic ideology. Second of all, one of the most central aspects to fascism is the strength of the race and, therefore, forceable annihilation of any opponents to the race or the cause. It's a little hard to be fascist without brute force. Third of all, 95% of your post is a near verbatim recitation of the dictionary. Thanks for that nothing... You proved my point.

ask3200, I thought I'd give you a dictionary definition of fascism to help you see that health insurance companies do act in a fascist manner.

The only difference is that fascists in the health insurance industry care about only one race: The Race of The Wealthy. So when a company denies a person health care, and then that person dies, that company has committed murder (negligent homicide).

The genocide of the poor through denial of health care is very easy to see.

Especially to the illegal aliens AND 1/3 of the uninsured who COULD be insured, but don't because they would have to fill out paperwork? Hmmmm, sounds about like 1/2 of the "reform" will cover IDIOT Americans who can't fill out papers and are crying and illegal aliens, hmmm.... That just sounds dandy now doesn't it?

Would you bank on that? This happen less than 2 years ago. That's just ancient now isn't it? Well he had to wait 3 weeks for a SICK APPOINTMENT! If you walk into the office today, you can be seen for a sick appt. that day or the following day, they give you a prescription, you go and get your medicine that day and all done in 1-2 days. Single payer causes long wait times (2 weeks for sick appointments, & another week to be approved for medication). So no fear-mongering, i WISH I was kidding.
