While B didn’t read his own link, here is more evidence that Canada’s system ain’t so great.

Screwy meantime doubled down and proves his ignorance yet again in his latest response post.

Go to the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, MD Anderson, and other facilities around the US and count all the foreigners there getting treatment. If Canada, England, France, Germany, Sweden etc all have world class care, why are their middle class and wealthy coming to the US for care?

Still waiting for your proposal on how to pay for this Screwy.

88racists and all the other 1%ers need government more than the bottom 99%. This does not keep them from blabbering on about how taking ANY of their income in tax is theft. Bunch of greedy fucks.

[Left Seater]

Wrong.

You need the government more than I do. ATC could be privatized tomorrow and things would improve. We already use a good number of private fields.

You need the court system and cops.

Any other fake news takes? Melt on tiny racist snowflake.

Where are the slums in Canada that are commensurate in scope to those found in Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Cleveland, St. Louis, most California cities, etc. etc. etc.?

Oh, come on! What's your argument?

I know what it is and it's self-defeating. With less disparity comes less illness - a healthful population is in the national interest. This is so obvious, how can you argue that?

[Dr_Phibes]

Setting the bar high, including an industrialised nation might help, you don't seem very confident. We've got better health care than the Pitcairn Island. Please include a lengthy treatise on Pacific Island medical statistics in your reply.

Who is doing the research, who funds it, why did the money come from and who reaps the benefits?

...and all you people care about is not dropping dead from easily curable diseases?

This is not a problem in any western country.

The problems come when you have the misfortune of contracting a not so easily curable disease.

There is the other problem. The one which I find the real problem with "free" healthcare, is the problem of fraud. I would be 100% for a nationalized healfcare system if this were not an issue. Fee for service deals with this problem better than any other. If we could get back to this system, with insurance used only as it is used in all other cases, we would be far better off.

There is a place for socialized medicine, for the elderly (medicare) and for chronic conditions that an insurance company couldn't possibly deal with.

The argument, if you want to characterize indisputable facts as such, is that it is not reasonable to compare countries with different demographic situations and assert that one country’ｓ experience proves that universal healthcare would be better for the people in the other. If you disgree, then point out the similarities in expected outcome between the United States and Botswana, Ghana, Rwanda, India and Mexico (to name a few), each of which has universal healthcare.

The U.S. presents different issues for resolution than Canada. Perhaps the biggest difference is that the United States, unlike Canada, does not have the luxury of being geographically situated next to another country that innovates and advances medicine for it, and thereby subsidizes much of its costs.

88, per usualm.

There are a few things that make healfcare in these nations better, by leaching off the US. By "these nations", I mean upper messico, the eurotrash and the gooks.

Numero uno, is that the US does the lion's share of heavy lifting, regarding development of new meds. This is some serious dollars.

Numero dos equis- These countries get sweetheart deals on prices of those meds. Lefties make it out to be a conspiracy or claim that they get these prices because they hire marty's Uncle Herschel to Jew them down. In reality, the drug companies sell them cheap because they know that if they don't, they'll simply counterfeit them.

There is ONE area where these other countries do have over us.

They have their lawyers under control. We don't.

His argument, when you boil it down, comes to the fact that cotton couldn't be grown in Canada. Also, Canada is geographically blessed. The only country you can walk into it from is the US. We are basically the bouncer at the door to Club UM.

One other little thing I thought I would throw in, and it is one of my states biggest challenges, is the fact that Canada didn't get the bright idea to colonize any of Latin America.

We did. It's called PR.

PR is a nice place. They make a good mojito. Lovely beaches. Unfortunately, they aren't the most industrious people in the world. And while they love being in a place which isn't on the wrong side of zero degrees today, they do love them some free shit.

For years migrants from the Islands would come here to work the shade tobacco farms of the Connecticut river valley. For some reason this area is good for growing the worlds best shade tobacco which is used to wrap cigars.

Anyhoo. They used to come up for the season, then each fall, they'd say, "fukk, it's getting chilly. I'm going back to Aquadilla. See you in april, amigo.

Then LBJ rolled out the Great Society. And Manuel went "huh?" "Jew mean if I stay, Jew gimme a check? Looks like I better get me a nice winter coat."

Yeah, go ahead, call me racist. I had front row seats to this transformation of Connecticut from being the richest, lily whitest state in the Union, to being in competition with Illinois and New Jersey for most financially disfunctional. And I think a large part of this problem is that we were simply over-run by PRs over the last 50+ years.

Ct's hispanic population is 15.4% and growing fast. The large majority of these are from PR.

Imagine if tomorrow, all of Latin America could walk right in the front door, American citizenship papers in hand and sign up for every available welfare program there is.

That is us, for a half century now. Of course as the good ship Ct sinks beneath the waves from being overcrowded by deadbeats, they'll go elsewhere. Florida seems to be popular at the time and the Dems are using PR migration to FL as part of their demographic shift strategy to take over. The fact that PRs appear to be unable to unfukk themselves after Maria bent them over, is accelerating this strategy.
