Do I look like a fucking Canadian to you? Am I wearing a big furry hat made of beaver pelts? No motherfucker, I am not. I can guarantee you that I don't give a shit about Canada's health care system. No offense, moose lovers, but I'm more concerned with OUR health care system at the moment....

I chuckle at alot of your posts...they make for some entertaining ish to say the least.

I think most Americans would like everyone that is here legally to have health care coverage (though most do not believe it should be free). The problem lies in how to fund it. We (Americans) understand there needs to be studied projected costs, increased doctor availability, immigration reform and individual health awareness.

So...what we now have shoved in our face is a 2037 page health care bill which very few understand and items included we probably cannot pay for. Now what? Just run with it and hope there are only 100 consitutents making it big instead of 500? What the fuck kinda plan is that? There was talk that in the bill Medicare would be lowered from 65 to 55. Not sure if that's true, but it seems to be a lead in to universal health care.

In regards to one of your comments, there is alot of truth in pooling people's money while only realizing a small increase in premiums. But, the issue with medical care in general is cost. And to think that just pooling people's money without serious regulation to drug/procedural costs is going to lower medical bills is very very naive.
