Should we dump Obamacare and go for Medicare-for-all instead, like Canada?

The same way anyone with a brain larger than an earthworms; that would exclude you however. ;)

But I do happen to have a LOT of Canadian friends and close associations because I lived, attended school and worked with them in Europe.

I too know a great many Canadians, traveling there for business often. None of them support your misinformation.

Because your repugnant and stupid. Because any Canadian who has had to deal with their pathetic system will tell you about the wait times. Two months to see a doctor for acid reflux; over a year for a hip replacement. Things we take for granted here. Of course they will always tell you when asked why they tolerate such malaise that someone else probably needed before they did. That's how brainwashed Canadians have become.

But alas, the economically clueless gullible leftist dunces in this country want to be just like Canada and France and England.

Really, you lefties are too stuoid for prime time. Gleefully running to the Nanny State, giving up your liberty and independence for Government dependency.

I spent a total of almost 2 months in Canada last year. You are full of shit, in this, as in all things.

I spoke to actual Canadians, in Canada, dumbass. What have you got? Oh, nothing, like I thought. What a fucking retard.

OMG; you spoke to REAL Canadians too!!! You're a fucking expert AND a genius!!!!

Anyone who thinks Government can manage ANYTHING, let alone something as complex as healthcare, is beyond a mere dumbass.

You are such a retard. Medicare in the US has 6% administrative costs. Private health insurers have over 30% administrative cost. Looks like you are wrong again moron, and no, I am not chasing down any more links for you. If you disagree, you prove I am wrong. Done playing your retard games. You are worse than Dixie, you look right at facts and deny them. Fuck you.

I just looked it up life expectancy has increased from 76 to 81 since the national healthcare bill passed in Canada.

Your attempt has failed; because life expectancy, in that same time period, has also increased in the US at the same rate.

As everyone knows Obama-care has had a pretty wild roller coaster ride of an existence and who knows where it will go. The question is however, is it even worth pursuing or should we do what our Canadian neighbors have been doing for years?

political.com asked the same question to their viewers and there were some interesting comments definitely worth taking a look at.

Let me know what you think.

i am all for medicare for all. it is what we should have done originally and would have been a lot less painful transition

Yes because Medicare is bankrupting us so why not accelerate the process?

medicare funding is a problem because congress cannot make its mind as how to pay for it.

so i will go a bit more radical and state that medicare for all be fully paid for by the government. it has to be paid for one way or another. since the government already has a tax system in place, why not avoid adding another bureaucracy and pay for it out of tax revenue.
 
its what we will end up with because it the most efficient system.


the wealthy prefer people be sick and desperate so they can get what they want easier from the world

This is the problem when debating low information leftists; they think Government pays. Government doesn't pay for ANYTHING; it comes out of OUR pockets.
