Just so happens their parents can make up to $80,000 a year.
Hmm why not sell the SUV by your own health care. I got news for you, anyone making 80,000 has health care. If not oh well
buy your own. Of course we know this is just a incremental step to universal health. Big Big Mistake. I lived in Canada for 8 years, you will pay taxes you never dreamed of. You will also wait for treatments. No scare tactics just facts.

It's not free, I lived in Canada, TAXES TAXES. Their wait times are weeks, months for treatments. They wouldnt want our system, why do they come to our country for treatment.
How many Americans run to Canada for hospital treatment compared to them coming here.

Would you like to see my landed immigrant form. At least I lived under their health care. Mickey Moore just took certain facts and twisted them.
Do you think he or John Edwards will wait in line behind you for treatment. Think again. IT's all about Power, nothing to do with health treatment. If it were, Johnny Edwards would not have made his millions suing Doctors on frivalous law suits.

Beer 40.00 dollars a case.
Cigs 55.00 dollars a carton.
Gas 50cents more a gallon than we pay.
Taxes on income of 60,000 approx 16,000 dollars. 14pct sales tax.

Toronto under one survey about 3 years ago, 12 months for women to begin breast cancer treatment.
You go crash and boom, you don't get an MRI, you will get an Xray from a machine made 30 years ago.
YOu have no idea what you are asking for. IF you have children take care of them for heavens sake. Give up the cigs and booze and drugs. Take care of your children. How can you look in the mirror.

I don't know if they are smoking weed, but they give a good impression of it. So, for all intents and purposes they might as well be.
People think they don't have enough money now, that the economy is soooo baaaaad, wait until they have to foot the bill for this! Then they will want the government to pay for their housing! Or utilities. Or food. And all because the cost of universal healthcare is too high! It is a slippery slope.
And the beat goes on............
Thank you for telling us about your first-hand experience with the Canadian system. I have heard others from my friends in Canada. When they need a critical procedure, guess where they travel to? You guessed it!

You can take the top three off the list, they are not broke. The country depends on the railways and the post office. Don't you think it costs more than 42 cents to mail an envelope across country. If they raised it to FEDEX and UPS rates you'd be the first to ***** about it. The same thing with the railroads, they are a necessity and if they operate at a loss the only thing to do is raise rates. How do you think the industrialists would feel about that? You people can't see past your nose, that's why I can't stand any of you.

We are spending billions a day fighting a useless war in Iraq. So what is a couple of billion a year to help children have better health care.
By the way a family of four or five living in New York or LA making 80,000 likely can not even afford a house let along an SUV

I have a better idea. Someone suggested this answer a few days ago.
I admit, shamefully, I called him a name.
It was suggested that if you can't afford health insurance, it would be better for everyone else if you just died.
Would that be a "final solution" you could or would accept?
ADD: To the ones who have emailed me. No, this is NOT what I believe should happen. This was suggested by someone else. It wasn't a nice name I called him.

It would seem silly that people who make 80,000 a year could get completely free health care. On the other hand, there are some truly needy families who could not afford health care for their children any other way.

No, the old funding level was $39,000.
The two proposals floating around now define poor as 60,000 or 80,000 - even higher for families with three children. And yes, 25 is a child.
This IS an insane bill - we are defining the middle class as poor, and 25 year olds as children. Paid for by a regressive tax to top it off
Its practically class warfare, and its not bottom up like they want you to think.

Again, you wait for ELECTIVES in Canada. Wait times are only slightly behind ours. When rated they are only one notch behind ours.
"If not, oh well."
Yeah, it's an American eat American country. I'm so proud.
Why don't you tell me if the idea is so horrendous why the vast majority of people in EVERY country that has a single-payer system WOULDN'T trade places for ours?

You would rether let a child die for lack of health care than give up a little money? Great. I like your thinking there.

People opposed to universal health care always claim they lived in Canada but never give any real facts to lead one to believe this statement.
