The Dems want this to be commonplace in America.

... I remember hearing all these people tell me how great the health care “system” is in Canada; maybe it’s not so great after all ....

Hillarycare in a nutshell.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Well at least she’s not going to get a bill.

To me it would seem that such a system would have to be declared unconstitutional in the US—deprivation of life and liberty without due process of law.

In addition to that, if you can’t regulate abortion because the right of privacy includes a right to obtain an abortion, then surely you can’t regulate the right to basic healthcare, or even extraordinary healthcare like cancer care, heart transplants, etc. How can the Supremes possibly uphold a system which does that while telling government that it has no right to interfere in a woman’s decision to get an abortion?

Hillary can’t wait. Once we have the Canadian system those pesky Canadians won’t be able to abuse their govt healthcare system anymore. /sarcasm/

I’m betting that Moore won’t be featuring her in a movie and Hillary won’t be talking about her “invisibility” to the Canadian government.

Who won’t get a bill?

In the early 80’s, we flew our Mom to University Hospital in London, Ontario for very delicate brain surgery. The most famous neurosurgeon in the world practiced there. This doctor operated successfully on Quincy Jones and Della Reese during the same time. We simply could not believe the level of skill and speed at which all the phases of such surgery occurred. The good doctor was also one of the nicest and most humble men I’ve ever met. All the arrogance and pomposity of a garage mechanic!

People brought their loved ones from all over the world to be treated at University Hospital. I simply cannot tell you how sad this story makes me. Socialism in any form drags everybody down. We will all be equal in the bottom of the barrel.

Don’t look for me to defend Canada’s system. I’m not sure that I’d care to substitute the US way of doing things, however Canada is the only democratic, capitalist(ic) country in the world with such a single-payer system. I don’t know why people in this country trust the governemnt, and only the government, to do a good job of completely running such a complicated system when it does such a poor job of most other things. Years of Liberal brainwashing, I guess.

Where will the poor, suffering Canadians go if Hillary and the democrat party’s carefully crafted plans to destroy US Health care succeed?

Hell, where will WE go?

Edwards, too.

[DoughtyOne]

Good point...

George Orwell called it doublethink. I call it good old fashioned hypocrisy.
