i have had a semi serious illness that required surgery. Also, both of my parents have had cancer (ovarian and prostate) and both pulled through fine. Unlike the US i have never heard of a doctor saying he cant help me. Also, if the W.H.O. says yours is worse where do you all get off witht the "ours is the worst bit". You can chant "we're #1" as much as you want but that wont bring 16000 people a year back from the dead.

Wait till you have a serious illness. I drove a truck all over canada and read your newspapers. your health system is horrible.

Every time I see one of these republican rants which are very much ignorant on how the world actually works all I think of is how lucky I am to live in a country with universal healthcare (NHS). Where my well-being comes before a profit motive. My fiancée gave birth to our child 3 weeks ago in an NHS hospital, there were complications, 2 litres of blood lost and 21 hours in labour. Not once was anyone worried about "can these guys afford this?" it was about mother and baby surviving - they did

@TorontoCanuck1978 I live in canada too and I'm so thankful because of our free health care. sure it's great for the rich when you have private health care but alot of americans aren't that rich! It boggles my mind how the think helping the rich get more money or stay rich helps the country as a whole.

Good place to ask this question: How does giving tax breaks to the super rich who already have a vastly disproportionate share of wealth in this country help support the middle class and promote a stable society? Lower taxes on the rich -> more inequity -> less stable society. I completely agree that the government should not unreasonably stifle free enterprise through excessive taxes and regulation but there must be a happy medium. We can't maintain a stable society if we keep going this way.

Btw the average waiting line for cancer surgery in Norway for a 60 year old is 4-6 months, what is it in USA?

[killerbee2k]

@Niobium2000 You are spot on, even in Norway we are beginning to move towards privatization of healthcare. Unlike Sweden though we in Norway are like Saudia-rabia, we got ton of Oil and the know how to refine it as well (thanks to the US but you wount get a thanks from us dipshits). So we can keep it up many decades more if we want too. Our healtchare spending is increasing yet our capacity, efficacy and quality is diminishing, its like stagflation in healthcare. And our true unemployment is 20%

@exbronco1980 ye awith all the welfare we want to leach off of... o wait

[peppilepiu]

Doesn't any liberal want to comment on the role Raum is usurping in the census? All I see is unrelated accusations of "Fox News". Is there no shame? LOL.

the road to hell is paved with good intent

[exbronco1980]

i think usually libertarians don't care about people with mental illness. i kinda think libertarianism itself is a mental illness. this guy mentioned something that is subtle but very telling: ".....translate into regulations that will change MY way of life." yep, it's all about him. libertarians are often quite selfish.

[gravyhandjohnson]

Idiot.
