i dont like you mocking our blood that provides your security, pal, no matter how cute you think it is.
You mean freepers hurt your feelings? I am sorry, you are obviously one of us politicaly or you wouldn't be here (FR). I think we (Americans) are feeling a little defensive lately.
lol @ flights to india !!
"We used to have quality health care that was affordable, and it was before the government and the trial lawyers got involved. More government certainly isn't the solution."
Worth repeating!
The "Free" medical care in Germany costs 15.9% of their gross pay, matched by their employer. (not a premium)
Their Social security contributions are 19.8%, again employer matching.
Home healthcare is 1%, etc, etc.
Now you get to pay a myriad in Taxes like income (higher than ours) Ecology, Vat, 16% of all purchases and rising.
I have not seen a free lunch in a while.
By the way, their systems are broke.
Bump-itis
You ain't seen nothin' yet.
This is what Hillary Rodham Clinton nearly succeeded in thrusting upon the American Taxpayer back in the early 1990's.
"a lilt from the land of booing the usa natl anthem and beating up usa children: it's all the US's fault ;) <-- note winky smiley.
i dont like you mocking our blood that provides your security, pal, no matter how cute you think it is.

I hate anti-Americanism too and don't like people booing other people's anthems and strongly supports the US but what you said makes no sense. Who(which Canadian) here on FR thinks that is cute, certainly not me but in defence of YYZ I will say give your head a shake.
Let us hope that Kerry never gets elected so that America would never go through what we Canadians put up with.
"Excellent post. Why in the world would anyone want to import such a disaster here?
As my father said "It's all about control."
"Medical Savings Accounts," (NOW CALLED, "Health Savings Accounts,") have been the ANSWER TO our Nation's "Health Insurance Problems" for Over a Decade!!
Check Out "Steve Forbes" Website Prior to the Last Presidential Election!!
The "Problem Is," NO ONE Is Willing to Explain "HSA's" to "The People!!"
---The Reason--The "Medical Insurance Companies" will NO LONGER control "Outpatient Medical Costs!!"
--Medical Savings Accounts, (Now Called, 'Health Savings Accounts,') are NOT CONTROLLED BY the "Insurance Industry!!"
The Patients & the 'Docs Control Medical Costs under a "HSA" system.
Small Wonder why the "Corporate Insurance Industry Interests" are TERRIFIED BY the "HSA's!!"
"HSA's" are the ABSOLUTE ANTIDOTE to "Socialized Medicine;" the Patients' & the 'Docs decide on a Patient's Care--the "Insurance Company" has NO SAY in the Care!!
& You Wonder Why you've heard SO LITTLE about "HSA's??"
POWERFUL FINANCIAL FORCES are "In Play," here--the "best Interests" of the Patients, & the Wisdom of Their 'Docs, has been overwhelmed by the "Financial Interests" of the "Insurance Industry!!"
In "America," "Socialized Medicine" will be "Administered by" our "Corporate Medicine--(Blue Cross, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts, Fallon, Aetna, Travelers, ...etc,...etc...)--there is VIRTUALLY NO CHANCE that "Medical Care" will Improve;--In Fact, "Historically," "Medical Care" will STAGNATE, & DECLINE!! (AS HAS BEEN the CASE, HISTORICALLY, in ALL 'SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!!')
We're "AMERICA!!--", we are BETTER THAN THAT!!
Doc!
Your father was obviously a very wise man.
One of my daughter's friends told all the girls at my daughter's party that the conservatives had won power in Canada and they were going to get rid of free medical in Canada. Oh the horror.
Of course, I told my daughter to take the political rants of 10 year-olds with a grain of salt.
If I am not mistaken, doctors in Canada cannot be sued for malpractice. My mother is from Manitoba, and a cousin from British Colubmia who recently visited told me that his little granddaughter was the victim of a serious medical error that will cause health problems for the forseeable future. The family cannot sue.
Nice of you to take my quote out of context. Get bent, you whack-job.
Hurt my feelings? Well, maybe so but I'm a big boy and can take it. But I don't have to like it.
Not just that, but, unfortunately, a population that wants to be taken care of and does not want to be responsible for themselves and others. The name of the game, of course, is to be a bigger taker than giver.
its not out of context. see the "to 35"? thats the context. come on down here and say tough stuff. you duhs arent welcome here anymore.
