So let's get one thing straight...Clinton wants to end the war in Iraq, but she knows that America faces "a formidable adversary"? How can you fight said adversary if you aren't in a war with them? She wasn't making sense.

There is a huge problem with drug companies, too, but I can't see any easy answer there. While the pill itself costs very little money, the research to make all the failures that preceded it are extremely costly. So I wouldn't be too quick to demonize those companies.. but, yes, something is very very wrong.

Okay. It's fair to say that no system is perfect, and Canada definitely has its problems. For a better model for what universal (not socialized, that's different) health care can be, one should look at Germany or Australia, where there have a sort of corporatist bargaining system between the government and private health insurance companies. Since those companies have one big customer, they have to keep their pricing and practices fair.

well first of all..i know people in Canada who have socialistic health care..my cousin need shoulder surgery but she had to wait 4 months because there was a line..i admitt that the government in general wastes tons of money..however socializing the health care industry is not the way to go..and as for the drugs companies..they are the real evil doers here..chargins hunreds for wat cost cents

Finally, the US spends 16% of its GDP on health care while the vast majority of other nations spend 8-11% and manage to make it universal. So tell me--are we getting what we're paying for, or are we just flushing money down the drain in administrative costs (which constitute 30% of health care costs in the US today)?
-
What's more, it's simply a different kind of rationing in this country. Some have sufficient health care, some don't and thus cannot afford to get sick, and some have health care and think they're covered but will find it's grossly insufficient when they get a chronic illness.
-
Actually, I'm in med school right now, and I can tell you, we are headed for a huge doctor shortage--for one, we have an aging population, which is also the main reason for doctor shortages in Europe.
Furthermore, the AMA now strongly supports universal health care.
-
and you do know that in all socialistic health care countries there is an extremly long waiting period for anything medical..and doctors are in shortages due to the fact that they are not privatized so they recieve a set salary

What bliss! To have three inteligent, capable Democratic candidates, any of whom could walk into the Oval Office on day one and do a great job. Contrast that with the draft-dodgers in the America Hating/Terrorist Enabling GOP.

Just three Lobbyist spokesmodels all posturing together. Upstaging one another, maybe, but not debating.
No, the only Dem candidate with plans and a voting record to match his rhetoric got shut out of the debate by GE (protecting their investment in their stooges.) It's a good thing they did, too.
In any of the debates that Kucinich was allowed into, he showed that the others were just Republicrats. He hasn't been allowed in a debate since.
