Rykat, I have always wanted an agenda! Do you mind telling me what it is? 
Newfoundlanders are the only people in heaven who want to go home.

Actually, Hon looking back at your last 40 posts I have to admit...I can't find an agenda. Guess I owe you an apology. But. You mean I have an agenda? Moi?

What fact checking I've seen done (including my own) finds that it's mostly on the up-and-up. Some facts have been cherry-picked to highlight disparities, but that doesn't mean there isn't an issue. It's a big problem.
The U.S. medical prowess is the best in the world -- the issue is affordable access to that greatness.
I, for one, don't want to see another bloated government bureaucracy. I think there is an opportunity to have a unique American solution to this problem that takes lessons from the European and Canadian models, but infuses some ingenuity to ensure access not just to check-ups, but also other forms of care that Americans can schedule next week but Canadians have to wait months for.
I will have a Belikin -- put it on klcman's tab.

I concede. Cut, pasted, printed and framed! Will send it to you in the mail, Hon!  This is likely the ONLY time we'll EVER see Rykat say such a thing!

Just a thought...
Number of children in Canada without provincial health insurance: 0 Number of children in America without health insurance: 9 million

Bloated, Michael Moore number. All...did I say ALL of which can receive treatment through Medicaid, etc. Otter's on the right track...universal, government run is the wrong track. As a taxpayer I'll be damned if I'll pay hospitalization for the 12 million (not bloated number) illegals here waiting patiently to suck the system dry. Governement run health care here.............NEVER!
Nuts! as one of those radio guys says just "a loveable fuzzball"!

Actually fuzzball,  never saw the movie so don't know if it's a MM number or not - it is, however, a statistic that you can check for yourself.

Do undocumented (?) aliens in Canada also receive free health care? Also, are people in the US without health insurance turned away from emergency rooms? Just wondering, I have conflicting information. Quality or access, each have their good and bad points. Which should we have?
