It`s all about manipulation...and you know it. While the republicans stand on principle and accept their losses, the dems act as idealistic,opportunistic leeches.....and wail when they do not get their way.....But I digress.......What do you think ?

For example, I'm called anti-American because I'm liberal? WHAT? Why would someby wrongfully assume something about me before I speak?
Or that I'm an alarmist because I'm liberal. Once again, wrong.
Or that I'm a socialist because I'm liberal. Not wrong, but pretty far off. I want a mixed, merit-based social/capital economy.
Or that I'm pro-abortion because I'm Liberal. No, I'm pro-choice and I think the fed shouldn't get invloved, but I'm against abortion.
Or that I don't support the troops. Wrong again.
Or that I'm anti-gun because I'm liberal. Wrong.
Or that I party because I'm liberal and a high school student. Still wrong.
Or that I'm aethiest. Wrongish. I won't say there is a god, and I won't say there isn't. I'm not arrogant enough to say that I should know.

And yet people still think they "know" me better than me, even though they haven't even met me personally?
Why? And why continue? And why only in the politics section?

He paid the car off for around 18k. I have been paying him 313.00 a month. He wanted to pay it off so that the interest rate would be lower and we were going to put my car on his insurance by putting the title in both names.

Here is a basic run-down of the Canadian Universal Health Care.
Do you think it's sounds like a success?




Canadian Health Care

Hey Guys; I seen on the news up here in Canada where Hillary Clinton
introduced her new health care plan. Something similar to what we have in
Canada. I also heard that Michael Moore was raving about the health care up
here in Canada in his latest movie. As your friend and someone who lives
with the Canada health care plan I thought I would give you some facts about
this great medical plan that we have in Canada.

First of all:

1) The health care plan in Canada is not free. We pay a premium every month
of $96. For Shirley and I to be covered. Sounds great he. What they don't
tell you is how much we pay in taxes to keep the health care system afloat.
I am personally in the 55% tax bracket. Yes 55% of my earnings go to taxes.
A large portion of that and I am not sure of the exact amount goes directly
to health care our #1 expense.

2) I would not classify what we have as health care plan, it is more like a
health diagnosis system. You can get into to see a doctor quick enough so he
can tell you "yes indeed you are sick or you need an operation" but now the
challenge becomes getting treated or operated on. We have waiting lists out
the ying yang some as much as 2 years down the road.

3) Rather than fix what is wrong with you the usual tactic in Canada is to
prescribe drugs. Have a pain here is a drug to take- not what is causing the
pain and why. No time for checking you out because it is more important to
move as many patients thru as possible each hour for Government
re-imbursement

4) Many Canadians do not have a family Doctor.

5) Don't require emergency treatment as you may wait for hours in the
emergency room waiting for treatment.

6) Shirley's dad cut his hand on a power saw a few weeks back and it
required that his hand be put in a splint - to our surprise we had to pay
$125. For a splint because it is not covered under health care plus we have
to pay $60. For each visit for him to check it out each week.

7) Shirley's cousin was diagnosed with a heart blockage. Put on a waiting
list . Died before he could get treatment.

8) Government allots so many operations per year. When that is done no more
operations, unless you go to your local newspaper and plead your case and
embarrass the government then money suddenly appears.

9)The Government takes great pride in telling us how much more they are
increasing the funding for health care but waiting lists never get shorter.
Government just keeps throwing money at the problem but it never goes away.
But they are good at finding new ways to tax us, but they don't call it a
tax anymore it is now a user fee.

10) My mother needs an operation for a blockage in her leg but because she
is a smoker they will not do it. Despite her and my father paying into the
health care system all these years. My Mom is 80 years of age. Now there is
talk that maybe we should not treat fat and obese people either because they
are a drain on the health care system. Let me see now, what we want in
Canada is a health care system for healthy people only. That should reduce
our health care costs.

11) Forget getting a second opinion, what you see is what you get.

12) I can spend what money I have left after taxes on booze, cigarettes,
junk food and anything else that could kill me but I am not allowed by law
to spend my money on getting an operation I need because that would be
jumping the queue. I must wait my turn except if I am a hockey player or
athlete then I can get looked at right away. Go figger. Where else in the
world can you spend money to kill yourself but not allowed to spend money to
get healthy.

13) Oh did I mention that immigrants are covered automatically at tax payer
expense having never contributed a dollar to the system and pay no premiums.


14) Oh yeh we now give free needles to drug users to try and keep them
healthy. Wouldn't want a sickly druggie breaking into your house and
stealing your things. But people with diabetes who pay into the health care
system have to pay for their needles because it is not covered but the
health care system.

I send this out not looking for sympathy but as the election looms in the
states you will be hearing more and more about universal health care down
there and the advocates will be pointing to Canada. I just want to make sure
that you hear the truth about health care up here and have some food for
thought and informed questions to ask when broached with this subject.

Step wisely and don't make the same mistakes we have.

Dean
