ObamaCare…coming soon

[Zeitgeist]

SK,
Aren’t you troubled by the camps? The government seized the property of the Japanese with no due process and put them in camps. Do you think that it cannot happen here. Just because you may like the current president, does not undo the harm. Many people voted for Roosevelt and used the emergency created by the war. A similar emergency could be invoked to remove undesirables (fill in the blank). I cannot understand this not being troublesome to more people, including those who are or consider themselves to be free thinkers.

“A new poll conducted by the Toronto-based Nanos Research points to overwhelming support — 86.2 percent — for strengthening public health care rather than expanding for-profit services.

“With more than 8 in 10 Canadians supporting public solutions to make public health care stronger, there is compelling evidence that Canadians across all demographics would prefer a public over a for-profit health care system,” said Nik Nanos, president of Nanos Research.”

I’m confused where the talking point came from that Canadians don’t like their health care system. I lived in canada for two months in grad school, and everyone I spoke to was either satisfied with their system, or indifferent (but glad they don’t have a system like the US). Average wait times to see a doctor without an appointment were a couple hours, with a few weeks to a month to see a specialist; not that different from wait times with out system.

Bottom line, given the choice of keeping their current system, or swapping with us and paying a little less taxes, Canadians for the most part would keep their system.

Sadly, there’s more to the story about the woman from Oregon. Even though her doctor was able to get the drug she wanted donated to her, the treatment was not effective and she died from lung cancer only four months later.

Zeit, there is already a thread dedicated to the camps. If you want to discuss them, post there. Here, I’ll even post a link for you in case you’re too lazy to find it yourself: http://piggington.com/don039t_worry_these_will_only_be_used_in_an_emergency

This is a thread about healthcare — no need to try and change the subject just because you don’t have anything constructive to bring to the table. When you do that you make yourself a perfect example of why the opposition is doing nothing but poisoning the discourse with irrelevant blabbering.
