Quote from Steelers Baby:
It is you who has no fucking clue what you are talking about, the reason why we have a lower administrative cost per person in Canada is because we have a healthcare system which is DRASTICALLY worse then in the U.S. If you want to go back to those costs be prepared to wait from 6 months to a year for an MRI, heard many stories of people having to wait for months just for Chemo, have fun when your cancer survival rates go down drastically because that is what is coming. There is no place in the world that i would rather be sick when im covered then in the U.S. and I have lived in both. Quit talknig about Canada as if it is some sort of Utopia, when you know absolutely nothing about how fucked up our healthcare system.
^ WIN!
Or let's lower our success rate for fairness sake cause it health insurance is a right. Anyone who thinks this way must suck at trading. maybe the best traders should be forced to reveal their strats to u as well, they won't work anymore but it will be fair... LOL

LOL It's cool man. I'm not offended anyway, just trying to stay on topic.
And note the fact that the U.S. has a 10% higher survival rate there as well, even if this study is correct, though i highly doubt it is.
Once you have been around and heard the horror stories coming from actual people you know who have been through the process up here or have lost their life to it you would know better than to trust your life to the government.
Also take a look at this story. Billionaire Liberal MP Belinda Stronach went down to california to have her breast cancer taken care of, instead of having it done in Canada when it happened to her, she denies it was because of wait times but could not give a legitimate reason as to why she would dpo it. It says alot when all of the rich people in Canada go to the U.S. for treatment upon getting cancer. The bottom line is that with day to day stuff our healthcare system is decent but if your life was ever on the line and anyone had their choice of any healthcare system in the world, they would choose the U.S. every time.
What the U.S. will end up with by having a public option is every other citizen in the U.S. who currently pays for healthcare giving up the best healthcare in the world, so that a bunch of people who were too irresponsible to pay for it can be leeches. And everyone can have a second rate system.

This example makes no difference on the argument.
The wealthy will always have more options than anyone else.
I strolled by a hospital today. Outside I saw people laying on ground, groaning in pain, pleading to be let in.
They told me they had no options. They were staring death in the face and the only people the hospital were letting in were wealthy white folk.
As each 10 minutes passed, just as Harry Reid proclaimed, they starting dying off.
Life is just so unfair when you have no options.
And medical personel should work for free/be slaves?Quote from bugscoe:

bigarrow I can't believe that you are so accepting of this overhaul. There are BETTER ways to approach the problem. Health Insurance is not a damn right, and it is not the uninsured driving up the costs of health care (at least not primarily). People only need a catastrophic policy, the other costs can be paid out of pocket. If someone cannot afford the premiums or the cost off going to the doctor (below poverty level) then it can be picked up by their welfare for the duration, not forever. That plan right there is far cheaper, and will remove the super expensive, life saving costs/procedures from the equation.
Also, I never saw any replies about the constitutionality of us all being forced onto the "public option". Does that really seem like liberty to you?
