And if we could keep the ones from south of the border from accessing our free healthcare that the rest of us are paying for...........
but that will never happen.

If you say, it's ok, what the US spends, I believe you.

Just today, gun registry has made the headline here, that it will be abolished (cost is too high to keep it).
In the past we have given up the motor vehicle branch (DMV), privatized that, also government controlled likor stores.
We have privatized Utilties as well, along with phone service.
So, no. Steps are taken back as well into hands of the private sector.
The latest 2 healthcare headlines : Calgary Flames NHL team got infront of H1N1 vaccination. Well, today, the health official that permittted it, got fired !
Yesterdays headline :POLL: 77% of Canadians believe they would be treated here better then in the US, if they had a serious illness. Up from 71% in 2005.
I really don't know, what is making the headlines there. | here's your government health care at work. First they decide that they don't have enough people dying of swine flu so they decide to squash attempts to roll the swine flu vaccine out early http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...rticle1316129/ then guess what. supply issues despite having an extra month to prepare when compared to the US. http://www.google.com/hostednews/can...sYzZGP_8ArE0Bw when you're government decided to squash the early roll out they could have seen the swine flu reaching pandemic levels in other countries and headed off the same in canada. But the government knows better , don't they.

It's not like your government is doing any better.
Actually , far worse : we have vaccinated 3 times as many citizens (by capita) then you !
We also have a newer version of the vaccine, that only requires 1 shot/doses, then 2 , and with an adjative... incase this years version is somewhat different.
And, we ordered enough, actually more then enough for every single citizen in the entire country. (US didn't order enough).
No, not everything went as planned, but far better then to the south of us. We had mistakes, I agree.
But, the US even bigger ones.
And, what is your point ? Which government is better or what ? I don't get it. |

Rep Power: 23537 | Re: Are tieguy and upssocks one and the same? Actually, there is more than enough vaccine being produced. It is the delivery system chosen that is the bottleneck. Instead of vials that contain the vaccine and a preservative, they are doing single dose applications. So instead of a vial with say 400 doses, they are doing syringes with a single dose already in the syringe. That takes more time and more money. So your gooberment at work fellas, on both sides of the border. Now, as a practical matter, there is no epidemic of swine flue. Not in our countries. Yeah, it’s a shame that there are people that have died from the flue, but it happens every year. Part of life. And for sure I don’t ever trust my or any other gooberment to tell the truth. Give me just one example where the gooberment actually did a good job in a timely and cost effective manner. Or when they actually told the truth. Except Ronnie who said, Government is not the solution to the problem, it IS the problem. The reason the US gooberment does not have 350 million doses ordered is that there are at least 200 million that are not lemmings following the gooberment blindly to their promised land. d

Danny, you'll never get it through kleins head, EVER! You are trying to rationalize with a person that thought it was OK to walk across the street to have a beer for lunch. Think about it.
One thing about it, we have to come back to read what's going to happen next in this soap opera.........now it kind of has us hooked!

What would this thread have anything to do with comparing countries, in the first place ?
Thanks to you, and you only, it took that turn at your ignornace !
Tried to tell you that, once again on this page, (why you would even compare).
But, you don't seem to get it ?

I would do the same if I was an American, and defending my country there, too.

Rep Power: 6041 | Re: Are tieguy and upssocks one and the same? Several months ago, Klein was asked to remove himself from his place of employment, that request came from his Center Manager.
Deep down he knew the CM was right, but he knew someday he would get a job again
With no where else to go, Klein became a member of BrownCafe where he met Tieguy. Just recently, Tieguy was told by his doctor to stay home from work, requesting that he not return until he was healthy enough.
Can two men , with time on their hands, share browncafe, without driving each other crazy?
