<<But I don't care one bit if the Canadian system works "better" than ours here (which I doubt), I just don't want it.>> OK, but others might, you are one voice. <<For you or me as individuals our health is terribly important, but on just what moral basis do you see it just for us to load the burden of our personal problems off on everyone else?>> I am not trying to sell the Canadian system to you or anyone else. I just asked you if you saw "Sicko." Our personal problems cover many areas,including getting around... infrastructure.. bridges , roads airports , etc...in Canada the roads are plowed and maintained, garbage picked up...and health care...all on the taxpayer... in the US you are not independent of the tax system choosing what you will pay, or not pay for, you have no choice funding the infrastructure that everyone uses.In Canada the infrastructure includes health care. <<I don't really care about Canada, but for here I'm hoping for a serious civil war to settle our problems when the bottom falls out.>> LOL,if you can learn from the barrio,you just might learn, just a tidbit, from Canada.As to civil war in America,it ain't gonna happen...most are too busy scratching for a living and are not concerned about health care until they get the letter in the mail...DENIED. <<Do you honestly believe that the weaklings of our generation are even half the men of say my grandfathers time?>> To broad a question to answer specifically.. but i think grandpa's muscles would wilt from sitting in cubicle all day,,,thumbing Blackberry. <<<Socialism destroys the whole nation, too. That is why that socialists in one nation are so agressive in promoting their political system in the neighboring nations. Marx said that socialism will reign everywhere or that it will eventually be destroyed everywhere.>>> Marx, yikes, Ronny helped Gorby ""take down that wall""thats over,i am not trying to twist your arm to convince you of anything ..neighbour... er... or.<<gg>> <<On hospitals, last year I spent the night in a provincial hospital in the Philippines, located right smack in the middle of a giant barrio. Not me, but a family member and everything was fine. Years ago one of my kids was in the hospital there for two days, and everything went fine. I even know somebody who had a hip replaced there, with great results. And there is no stench of socialism there, not a bit.>> If you can see the positives of a Philippine hospital would there be any similarities to a Cuban Hospital?
