1) is it my fault that were born to their race?? did i choose for them? are white people holding them back from making money and starting/operating businesses?? no. to all of those.
2) white people are not superior to black/hispanic people. everyone deserves the same opportunities for health care. does everyone get them?? no, some can't afford them. again, is that the white man's fault?? no.
3) wow, i *have* met racist people before, but your imitation took that WAY too far.

"semi affordable health care is great"
What do you mean by semi-affordable? Semi-affordable as in getting whatever treatment you need, with no co-payments, for premiums of around $700 per year? And how does that relate to the fact that half of all U.S. bankruptcies are related to medical bills (three quarters of them are people who HAD insurance) while NONE in Canada are?

You and I have had this conversation before, but you might not remember. I've lived in both countries but am currently in Canada, and wouldn't trade Canadian healthcare for U.S. healthcare for anything. What I quoted there is not my opinion, it's the conclusion of those official studies I listed. You can look for yourself. According to the JCUSH the shortage of GPs is even more acute in the U.S. than it is in Canada.

the same or worse for us canucks not better. our quality of care is worse, but our ability to get care regardless of income is far superior. the only truly criminal part of our system compared to yours is that we can't sue for much, and rarely can win when doctors screw us up, whereas your system allows you to crucify the doctor that screwed up. we protect our shitty corrupt docs while you get rid of yours

to be honest it depends on the day of the week. semi affordable health care is great, but when you can barely get access what is the point ?
my assertion is that neither system works well enough for the people, so something new is needed. going from ours to yours or yours to ours is a sidestep at best or a backstep at worst, when we should be concerned with moving forward. this is a truth few will engage honestly.

The only thing I'd like to know, is if you would rather trade your healthcare with what we have here in the U.S.

Some one please ask the senator who his health insurance provider is......
Oh yeah... it's a government program.

I know I'm not a natural born "US Citizen" so I can't be President either can Obama.

Then nobody, not even you are a natural born citizen.
Your response --interesting as it is--has nothing to do with what I said.

That dreaded public health insurance option equals government run health care, Mr. Grassley? Guess you'll be giving up the GOVERNMENT RUN health care insurance plan that your and your family so enjoy then . . .
Ha! Let's see how quick you are to do that to prove you're not a hypocrite.
Just admit you're in the pocket of the health insurance corporations Mr. Grassley so that we can simplify the process required to recall your senate seat.
