The thing is, for-profit healthcare is fraught with ethical issues. Medical necessity gets masked by the need to make money. We end up paying $20 for a cup of water, or $50,000 for something which took about 10 minutes, and then have to pay again for the facility, and the anesthesiologist, and the billing department, no to mention that we are having to pay for the insurance.
The fact is, the Canadian system is working very well.

Agreed... Ethics and for-profit healthcare are often at odds... I would never want to need medical services in the US... But having an underfunded , overworked system , which lacks the needed number of professionals is hardly my idea of "working well".
Admittedly , some areas are better than others.

Which may be part of my point about d******eness when people are polarized to where people react to someone wearing a hat that defines which side they are on. It's like crips and bloods wearing blue or red...think about that.

Now that is an apt analogy.. Crips and Bloods indeed... I may have to borrow that...
Maybe we should all go hatless for a while... Kind of a reminder that political affiliation doesn't define who were are as individuals any more than religion , race or social class does...
Good save on this post

I am often shocked at the work ethic of the youth... Sometimes I feel people should only be allowed to v**e if they have put in X amount of
years in the work force( 20-30 sounds right to me)... You deserve so much more... Merry Christmas and God bless...

And what exactly do you mean by that? How about a little more respect for the unborn who don't have a say in the outcome. Not sure what you're getting at.
Refering to a SCOTUS judge as an "ole bag" is hardly respectful... One may not agree with the individual , but the position is due respect...
I believe that this is an issue that requires not only discussion and debate , but also needs to be given the highest level of civility...

She was pointing out how dumb Trump supporters are. You just proved Coulter's point. The wall is being built only if you think that a fence is a wall.
Once again I feel that you have missed the point... Having watched the video (a less than enjoyable expenditure of time) I have come away with the impression that she is stating the opposite... Those who v**ed based on the promise of the wall are not satisfied with the progress being made... And yes , there has been some progress made... Nor are they willing to blindly accept empty words, even if they are spoken by POTUS...I am well aware of what a wall is. And equally well aware of what the promised wall entailed... I look forward to a futire of greater security for all

I seem to remember when all the witches ( wickens ) cast a spell on Trump.. Numerous sources carried the story.... Lots of opposition and name calling from the right... One coin type of deal I guess...

My math is quite fine... Percentages may make it look like to things are similar , but the larger the number being represented the larger even small differences represent... Which was why I chose to use ratios to explain my point...
I will try again... A larger percent of individuals with socialized healthcare have chosen to seek help outside of their nation... This (in my opinion) demonstrates the flaws of such a healthcare system....
Healthcare and horror stories tend to go together... No one wins in this story telling contest...
I absolutely agree with you... Not just Americans but all people should have access to quality healthcare. And it should certainly be affordable for all social classes...
I believe a balance should be sought... Government subsidizing of medical expenditures and procedures, with the option to buy additional insurance if desired...
Would love to hear your ideas / possible solutions

A little more respect for SCOTUS would make this a far more compelling post... It's a topic that is utmost importance and deserves to be respected as such...

1. The US has ten times the population of Canada , ratio1:10... 50,000 vs 250,000 is only a ratio of 1:5...Higher percentage of canadians seek healthcare outside of the country than americans...
2. The waits for many non-Elective surgeties are horrible... My aunt waited for eighteen monthes for lung removal , the entire time knowing the cancer could spread... And just recently my grandmother was sent home after a twelve hour wait in the EU after experiencing a heart attack. She was told to return the next day but the doctor had already left and they couldn't keep her there without his signature.... These are Common stories where I am from... I have dozens of others...
3. I would never trade Canada's healthcare for america's. But that doesn't make it a shining example of a national healthcare system...

How is it fact checking to repeat the facts then claim anyone who doesn't reach the same conclusion as you is stupid?...

Agreed.. FEDERAL dollars should not be spent this way... San Francisco on the other hand has every right to decide how they allocate city funds...
