There are also less people who want to become doctors if they know they will become enslaved by the government.

All I know is in the US so many people worry about how they will pay for their health care yet in Canada where I live I have never had to pay and I have never had to wait for MRI, X-Rays, CT Scans, etc (and I have had all those many times including more tests). Infact I know someone with a brain tumor and they did tests right away and discovered it was not cancerous and not growing but have him coming back for another appointment in the very next week. What long wait? Ask Canadians for facts ..

Thanks for changing your tone. I hate when someone just won't debate. Sorry for snapping. I do have plenty of humanity. I donate over 10% of my income to charity, even though I don't have dime in savings. Did you ever consider that the $5000+ spent on one American for healthcare could keep HUNDREDS alive in other countries? Why should we just blanket cover everyone here at such a high cost, when some could actually get their own insurance? America works on freedom. It shouldn't coerce charity.

I'm sincerely sorry about your loss. However, I wish it would have taught you some humanity.

Wonder whatever happened to that fat bastard? Watch movies made by a human and maybe you'll learn something...just a thought.

Wow. I'm always shocked at how hate-filled, ignorant and vicious some people are. Nevermind, just a little shocked, but I'm going to see my friend dying of a brain tumor tomorrow. I should take your advice and tell her to get a second job. She'll be delighted to finally have a solution for her situation!! Thanks a lot! You are such a humanitarian!

So..any of you incredibly intelligent and well-informed people here ever watch Moore's "Sicko"? I mean, it would be kinda helpful to get the basic gist of the topic, instead of what you are talking about here. Just a thought.

yes it sucks but canadian health care sucks even more. Hillary clinton, OBAMA and other democrats are stupid for supporting nationalized health care. If Kennedy wasn't well known and was in canada he still wouldn't have had an MRI to figure out that he had a tumor in his head ... he would be wait listed for surgery, he would be dead before he hit the OR table...
