1. yes
2. Yeah, I'm sure a few of our HMO's would make everything better for them.
3. Yes. Capitalism works, socialism doesn't.
4. Sure, because Americas health care system is SOOOOOOO much more affordable. /sarcasm
5. Yes. If you have to ask, you'll never understand.
6. Listen to the man who fought for us to have what we do --- He warned us of the US styled health care in 1983 of what the outcome of privatized health care would do to our society http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2oUInTUlAM
7. Canadians already have access to private health care as well as public health care.
8. Lowering the cost that Canada's government pays so it can lower taxes to its people while providing the same or better quality care is the solution to Canada's national health care system. Privatizing it is one way to do this.
9. I live in Canada and am 55 years old. I haven't seen any health care problems as of yet. America just blows it all out of proportion because they do not like to admit that their northern neighbour has a good healthcare system and I really can't understand why the USA is still in the dark ages when it comes to healthcare. People paying $600 a month for healthcare insurance for a family of 4. Thats just insane. And let me add, I have had my kids in to have their tonsils out, broken bones, stitiches. My wife had a tumor removed. I was hospitalized for 3 weeks due to an auto accident and we have 5 kids. Didn't cost us a penny. Canada also has walk in clinics for those who do not have a doctor. So whats the problem here???? Nothing that I can see.
10. I fully agree with Eric.. he knows what he is talking about.
