<<You're not going to the front of the line. You're going where the lines aren't.>>

Yes , for now, as repeated at nauseum, put 47 or 50 million in the mix for full coverage and you will see waiting times, no doubt.

<<Again, if there are no lines, it isn't a problem. I'm perfectly happy for a Canadian to get excellent health care at the same time I am. I have nothing against Canadians. Generally.>>

Again, our government and individual Canadians are happy to pay for it ,when we need it...but think about ....

"""...Poll the uninsured in America, and those with brain tumors, and denied stamp on correspondence with for profit insurance company,...head man gettting 30 million a year.... and see what they think.
Sensible Americans would think they should be ahead of the foreigners."""

<<Yup, it is good for a family of four, but they have to come up with 14 Grand a year to get it..

I don't think this is typical for a family of four....>>

You forgot ,that you admitted on this thread that you were paying $14,400.00 per year health care premium.

<<But most families of four receive their insurance coverage through their employers, so only a small number of families of four making $50K even have to concern themselves with it>>>

LOL you have no concern for 50 grand family of four or for 47 or 50 million uninsured.

<<I don't think this is typical for a family of four. My 25-year old son's insurance just went up to $110/month. My self-employed 30-year old daughter pays about 175/month.>>

Well looky here....

<<As a self-employed person, I pay $1200/month for health insurance for me and my wife. Both high-deductibles. That doesn't guarantee me I won't suffer some illness that leaves me broke. It helps, but there are no guarantees.>>
