punked Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 What? Canadians do not vote on any such thing....just ask former PM Chretien.Why do Canadians care what some Americans may or may not believe? Canadians do vote on Medicare infact it almost always polls at the top of the list things people vote on. So if they hear lies everyday with out anyone correcting them their voting could easily be impacted. It only take 5% of the voting public to swing an election. Quote

If it only takes 5%, then their belief systems are already fragile regardless of any "lies". The truth is that any criticism or questioning of the system is political suicide...lies or not.

The truth is that any criticism or questioning of the system is political suicide...lies or not. Until you have a third party attacking like with Kerry and the swift boating. Here it is the American media and the right wing. Any anti Medicare sentiment inside political parties can sit back and let them do the swift boating unless someone exposes the lies for what they are. 5% is a huge number in Canada. Quote

Guest TrueMetis Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 I'm just waiting for BC to have something bad happen to him so that he ends up losing his house to pay for the medical bills. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 I'm just waiting for BC to have something bad happen to him so that he ends up losing his house to pay for the medical bills. Why? I would gladly exchange a house for a heart transplant if needed. I will mail you the old one (heart) to help with your bleeding. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
punked Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 I'm just waiting for BC to have something bad happen to him so that he ends up losing his house to pay for the medical bills. That is terrible. Just becuase he does not think of others does not mean we should not. Quote

Guest TrueMetis Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 That is terrible. Just becuase he does not think of others does not mean we should not. I'd think about him but i'd being thinking more about funny it is than anything else then at some point i might send him a getwell card. He's says he'd be fine with losing his house to save his life, Clearly he's never been or even come close to being homeless before. Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) Society is more generous in Canada because the weather is too harsh to be homeless. That's wonderful...but other "societies" are even more generous and weather that is not harsh at all. Edited August 2, 2009 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

jbg Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 Openness towards Cuba could still bring mutually beneficial exchanges of Cuban physicians for American medical supplies. I'm not so sure I'd want either you or a Cuban physician meddling with my body. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

Oleg Bach Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 It's time to explain to those that enter the medical profession that making a million bucks a year is not a right - nor are the healing arts a buisness. In America - it goes like this "Got cancer hugh, need a cure - okay deal - I get your house - and heal you - and you walk away alive homeless and broke" - Healing was about love at one time..wonder what Jesus would do if he was a doctor? Would he profit from sickness and get even more greedy and double his profits by creating a word called WELLNESS? Greed and privledge in the medical arts is running rampant..Human beings are not a commodity... I feel great - better run down to the clinic and talk to the wellness specialist..he needs a new Porche. Quote

Oleg Bach Posted August 2, 2009 Report Posted August 2, 2009 Jesus is working both sides of the street....what a racket! I missed that - the laugh you provide. So good to see you again...It seems that the debate raging on this subject on your side of the boarder is who is going to get what with the new set up if it ever comes...In other words medicine is being and still being viewed as a super profit making buisness..so it's not about what's good for the people as usual - It's about who is going to get the lions share - It's as if YOU are setting up a huge company and there is a jostling for postion on who is going to be the big CEO and what the bonus's are going to be - typical American approach - like gangsters deviding up the turf.

It's like the time we were talking about religion - and I said it was a war between us immortals and the mortals -- one of the members perked up - " I am going with the immortals" - Looks like you understand the sytem - You can wait till the cancer has spread to the brain --as you wait 8 months for an MRI - or you can shuffle off to Buffalo..Our gangsters pretend they are good guys - at least your gangsters are honest.

I rather think that the immediate problem at hand here is that advertising businesses are more lucrative than medical services. Quote
