2020 prospect Michael Bennet says his alternative to eliminating private health insur

[Tahuyaman]

I also know some Canadians and not a single one is happy with their health care system. Not one.

[Tahuyaman]

That's fine by me. I'm willing to do that.

I'm not. I pay too much already.

It's disturbing to see so many people willing to allow government to take more control over our life. There was a time when people did not want or trust government to have more control over our life's decisions.

Now most people don't seem to believe that they should be required to provide for their own needs before they cover their wants.


Thinking that government isn't in it to make money is naive. They are in it to take our money as a way to control our life.

Not much to be said on this other then we'll have to agree to disagree since you know that you are right and I know that I am right.

I'm not. I pay too much already.

That's cool. We are all entitled to our opinions.

[Tahuyaman]

That's cool. We are all entitled to our opinions.

Being overtaxed isn't an opinion. It's a reality.

How is it right to advocate government taking more control over your life decision?

How is it right to advocate government taking more control over your life decision?

Because it's a right I'​m willing to give to the government.

If there is a problem with the VA, then work to fix it as opposed to junking it.
I've got many friends from Canada and almost everyone of them would disagree with you. True they pay more in taxes but get more for their money in return. If you have a heart attack, a cancer or other serious problem, you get immediate attention; if you want a nose job or liposuction or other non-emergency procedure then you may have to wait until they have an opening but either way when you are discharged from the hospital you don't get a bill to pay. My friends from Canada laugh about the American healthcare system when we discuss it and are amazed that a country of our size and wealth cannot guarantee healthcare for all of its citizens.

Move to Canada. Take your socialism with you.

[MisterVeritis]

Let the people take it to the supreme court; if they say no to the government, then I'll accept that.

The Supreme Court is the government.

I would prefer that you socialists emigrate to Canada or Great Britain. You can have all the empty promises of free health care you can stand. And then you will die.

So then why do Canadians come here to the US for treatment. Life saving treatment. Hip surgery is considered non emergency. Yet without it, one can't walk.
