Yeah right .. .. .. if you think health care is expen$ive now .. . just
wait 'till it's "FREE"

I don't know who got this notion of universal health care started, but
(my
opinion) you are entitled to the best health care you can afford ..
nothing in the constitution says you get the best for free .. .. ..

You'd change your tune if YOU couldn't afford health care you needed to
survive a catastrophic illness.



The last I heard there is a nine month delay to get a angioplasty in
Canada. In the US they try to perform one within 30 minutes of
arrival at the hospital.

As the government funds get lower the wait increases. I will bet
Hillary and Bill wouldn't have to wait.

At least the border is close:

The workable solution would be something to cover catastrophic care.
Not coverage for a sore throat.

I recall that in the early 1970s, when I was in college, I had an ID card
from my dad, for "major medical" coverage. Aetna or some other company. I
paid cash for the little stuff, which was rare, and this coverage was
supposed to kick in for big problems. I tried to find that sort of coverage
a couple of months ago. Guess what? It's now non-existent in NY State. I
intend to find out why.
