  • You won't here the dems breath a word of truth because power is the cure. They want to control the masses, Teddy Roosevelt first proposed national health insurance in 1912, FDR proposed it again in the 1930s. Harry Truman proposed it again in the 1940s. They've been waiting along time for this progressive power holy grail issue, healthcare is the way to pure Socialism, Reagan was warning of this as far back as the 60s. Oh, let's not forget Hillarycare.

    Why are they pushing it so hard?

  • lord before you say such ridiculous words, US have way larger population than Canada. Free healthcare will corrupt US economy.

    Also, before any foreign people can receive Canadian healthcare, they have to be registered as a citizen in Canada and that take years of permanent residency (~7-10 or longer). Every foreigner who uses the hospital in Canada will have to be charged a fee.

    Did you forget about the Care Card purpose?

  • As a canadian I can only hope the american people will put a halt to this extortion known as private insurance, if only so you people will stop crossing our borders and using our hospitals.

  • We have waited for more than 60 years for health care to be reformed. Doing nothing is no longer an option. Please take the time and read the bill for yourselves instead of falling for the lies and scare tactics that are spreading like wild fire. I have posted a link to the bill in the comment section of my profile for those of you who are interested in the truth. Thank you.
