The Depressing Future of American Health Care

But it is not. And it shows that you still did not follow my link.....

Apparently you haven't read the OP for Canada is doing that. Why would I read an unrelated link?

The OP is a comparison of two systems within Canada.

Your link is a comparison between CA and US. Not relevant here.

Stubbornness....

not relevant because you can't respond to it.

I think you missed my point that the rich pay for the innovations that the rest of us enjoy at reduced cost. Who do you think is going to pay for it initially, the cost of R&D, the cost of FDA testing?

Anyone who bets on a return on a Dollar ... check mutual funds.

Are you expecting someone who is laid-off, homeless, unemployed and sick to pay their fare share?

cool.

No, it's not relevant because it's not relevant. That has been explained above. Do yourself a favor and get serious.

nic, your link compares CA and US. That is not related to the OP. Obviously you cannot show any relation, but just hem and haw.

I remind you that this topic is under On the Serious Side. Posting here requires a contribution.

Again, wholly unrelated to the topic.

The rich will always get better health care than the middle class or poor unless it's bringing in a person from a different country and giving them something free to make the news. We also have people on waiting list for heart, kidney ect transplants that many die before receiving. At least they have a chance and on a list because Americans in-between jobs that don't have insurance won't even try in fear of the debt they will put on the family. No perfect system but at least they don't have to worry about the courts taking everything away from their family if they should die.

We are certainly far from "rich"; and our Blue Cross/Blue Shield healthcare insurance is not supplied by an employer. (In fact, we are both retired.)
