Monty said aboutthis quote: "because we believe the state has a postiive role to play in such things as universal medicare" Is that wise decision why there are waiting lines and people from Canada flood to the U.S. annually for medical treatment? That is kinda like me telling you I will give you every Rolls Royce I have...problem is I don't have any." You've been listening too much to US Republican and right wing propaganda. Waiting lines arent the horror story that it is made out to be. As for going donw there.. sure. it happens.. but I can turn that right around and say why are so many of your seniors coming up here looking for drugs? Because its cheaper and more accessible.. thats why (which prompted another round of anti-Canadian health care propaganda on your side of the border) Why do 40 million Americans have no health insurance coverage? Why do we see stories about it costing a couple thousand bucks for routine surgeries like broken thumbs etc in certain hospitals? Whats the old saying Monty? People in glass houses shouldnt throw stones? The Canadian Health Care System isnt perfect, and there are callsto help reform it.. but a majority of Canadians will take it over the US system.
