Re: The "ignore" thread
when you consider the magnitude of its task, i think the postal service performs really quite well actually.

Re: The "ignore" thread
I think so too. I don't really like Canada Mail. They charge you $30 every time you switch addresses (in the US, I think it was something like a dollar, or nothing). And they do no at-house pick-up (i.e., no flags on mailboxes), and they're closed ALL WEEKEND. US Post is pretty superior, in my opinion.

Re: The "ignore" thread
i don't think i've ever had to pay to switch addresses. even setting up a forwarding address is free and easy as piss, though they do occasionally miss an item or two.

No Boogeyman Here, Obama Says Canada’s Health Care System Not Scary “I've said that the Canadian model works for Canada,” Obama said, “It would not work for the United States, in part simply because we've evolved differently. We have a employer-based system and a private-based health care system that stands side-by-side with Medicare and Medicaid and our Veterans Administration health care system. And so, we've got to develop a uniquely American approach to this problem.” Canada’s single-payer, publicly funded model of health care has been used as a political football domestically by critics of Mr. Obama’s. Groups like Patient United Now have put up ads to give dire warnings about the negatives of Canada’s health care system, having first person testimonials of long waits and refusals for treatment, connecting those problems to the administration’s proposals. I heard today on the radio that a larger percentage of Canadians do actually see the same doctor throughout their lives than US citizens. I cannot find anything to back that up, so maybe it's just because Canada's total population is 34,578 people. |

I would think Canada has a decent template for other countries to use for a national health care system. Aside from my two points I really have no place to be complaining about it. For some reason, I find Atlantic Canadians gripe about it more than anyone...go figure. Quote:

Re: The "ignore" thread
Honestly for most of those stirring up a fit over this
Is it about the reform or is it about the party that is in majority behind the reform? I'm going to go with the latter for at least 75% of those pitching a fit

Re: The "ignore" thread
What the hell are you talking about? The one time you tried to "rip me to shreds" turned out to be a shoddy cut-and-paste job that you pretended you'd spent all night coming up with. Pathetic. If you had (or deserved) any respect you'd at least try to substantiate your opinions.

I think a government that provides 'free' health services with your taxes is a good one -- simple as that. The health services industry (in contrast) is about making money (i.e., maximising their profit at your expense). A true health service provider (by definition) should be about caring for people (not money making). There appears to me to be an inherent contradiction in a capitalistic health service. It is wrong for a "government of the people" to sell health and well-being to its citizens. A government could correct this situation in theory. However due to US historical and cultural legacy it may be too late. For many people in America it is considered to be morally sound to sell health. I think they are sadly mistaken for the following reasons specified below: It is wrong that a government collects income tax (on almost every dollar of income), sales tax (on almost every item), road tax (tolls on some highways), sin tax (extra costs for cigs & booze), death tax on previously taxed income (hard to believe I know) and NOT provide universal healthcare (how can they get away with this in good conscience?). I think all this tax investment surely entitles one to the best healthcare in the world (especially when there are millions of people paying into such a tax system that takes so much of every dollar earned). Instead the US government spends its money on the military industrial complex (a shame beyond all proportions and belief). Americans should be pissed off!

Re: The "ignore" thread
Totally not lying. I've got a couple on there. I don't think any of them post anymore, so it's kind of pointless to leave them on ignore, I guess.
