1. K & R - This makes me sick!

"Horror stories from Canada..!"

Yeah, name ONE.

2. Exactly. Most ppl I talk to from there are happy w/ their health care - tho

Harper is trying to ruin it (apparently). There was one person I posted about a while back that claimed long waits and high expenses billed to patients - and that the system is having to go partially private due to high cost - but the other 5+ Canadians I have talked to like the system. Five to one is a pretty good ratio, I think.

5. Top court strikes down Quebec private health-care ban...

In a 4-3 decision, the panel of seven justices said banning private insurance for a list of services ranging from MRI tests to cataract surgery was unconstitutional under the Quebec Charter of Rights, given that the public system has failed to guarantee patients access to those services in a timely way.

9. So Canadian health care sux?

10. No, it doesn't suck, but there are definitely some serious problems.

3. In TN & VA "horrifying" health care = the acceptable standards of health care.

See for yourself, http://www.wisecountyissues.com/?p=62 This really is deemed, defended and supported as quality health care in E. TN & SWVA

4. "Health Care Reform Critics" ( The new ) "What Now Cartoon"

These shills for big business and the right ( is there a difference?) make me sick! ( pun intended!) They are in the process of brainwashing their listeners & viewers with the propaganda of the the for profit medical industry and their intentions to swat down true health care reform like a fly. (I sure hope that the Obama fly was not true health care reform.
I draw a weekly left of center political cartoon series and I've dealt with the cries from the right that want to scare their audience away from the thought of single payer health care.
It's up on my website now www.whatnowtoons.com

6. If it were so bad in all those other countries, how come none of them are trying to adopt our system

7. There's no problem with health care in America? I want to buy (not be given) BUY health insurance..

but they won't sell it to me at any price.

How is that NOT a problem? Or is it maybe that it's simply not HIS problem?

8. Insanity at it's best. Altho - I enjoyed Limpo barking like a dog.

It's so great to have all their talking points in one video - thank you Media Matters!
