Sounds like a bet was involved :) although I have canoed waters I'd rather not dip my hand in, you'd think somewhere in that first 60 or so you could've risked it?

Ok I know this is pretty boring stuff, I just really get depressed each time it comes up the same talking points are used which show a bunch of people aren't aware of some of the realities. So a bunch of this is just setting the stage. More boring: Universal health care plans usually fall in tho two...

You give some very good examples of how the system we have does not work. There's evidence that we don't have anywhere near the best care overall. But we do have the most expensive. Every developed nation in the world has some form of UHC except the US. (every OECD Member) According to World Health ...

gulliver - to rebut your "stats" -nearly 45 million people have chosen not to pay for Health Insurance. Some have chosen not to true, the rest either cannot afford it or have been denied for various reasons. -Health care is 1/6 of our economy, lets not let the govment fuck that up too. As...

Waiting times most definitely are cited as the biggest drawback by opponents, and especially when looking at the Canadian system. Also you mentioned access to equipment. The US does very well regarding numbers of machines such as MRIs. I understand parts of Canada it is illegal to have any private c...

That's a really bad effort of placement on their part. The small local shelter near me was over a thousand yearly themselves, but they do have better success with adoptions and finding fosters. If that's the best they can do , they should leave that to others. If they are operating as an agency of l...

HillaryCare!

Since the Democratic nominee will be running with Universal Health Care as a primary chunk of their platform, Let's have a discussion.
