"Harry and Louise" Health Care Advertisements

In 1994, two ads, paid for by the Coalition for Health Care Choices, opposed President Clinton's health care plan. Two other ads, paid for by the Democratic Party, urged citizens to contact members of Congress to support the president's plan. All the ads featured the characters "Harry" and "Louise."

Universal Health Care All the WAY!!!!

[perfectestperson]

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.

I am not a Communist, I just know that there are certain things that need to be Government run, one of them is healthcare. Another is police and firefighters. How would you like it if we privatized the fire department, and every call they responded to, they had to check and see if the homeowner had the means to reimburse them before they put out the fire. Would that work? No. There are some things Government needs to handle, not many, but some. Healthcare is one of them.

I must say I've never actually had the pleasure of mincing words with a true hard core communist till now.

I suppose you are aware that the North Korean communist dictator has starved his population to the point that North Korean people are 6 inches shorter than their Capitalist counter parts in South Korea.

But that's fine as long as the Communist dictator "cares".

You make a fine useful idiot.

You anti-American monsters are worse than any Communist, that's for damn sure. Kim Jong Un cares more about the poor than you.

[Jack Panter]

No. I refuse to participate in unAmerican communist activities. Period.

[iBoy2G]

Shut the fuck up and pay your god damn taxes.

Face the facts, Canada's and the European system works out fine, especially when compared to the United States...:"Despite having the most costly health system in the world, the United States consistently underperforms on most dimensions of performance, relative to other countries." For the source just google "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall: How the Performance of the U.S. Health Care System Compares Internationally, 2010 Update"

[Jack Panter]

A communist takeover of anything is disgusting. Health care and General motors government takeovers are only the beginning. America, we must get that filthy communist out of the office of the President before it's too late. Deport him to his home country... where ever that is.
