Sylvia de Vries was not within weeks of dying. The tumor was not even considered life threatening. Please get the facts correct if you wish to further your argument on that front.

There are private enterprise solutions to this problem, but overcoming the obstacles to true competition is the first step. So many costs from the government programs now in place (medicare and medicaid) are passed on to consumers via higher prices to the insured, driving up premiums.

Point one, I can still spend it so it is not an IOU, but a loan the Chinese have guaranteed, IOU's will come later, though.

Point two, you're right, and the sniper will agree, too. (I suspect there are quite a few hiding in the Republican party, too.)

Your first and last Social Security check was and is an IOU.

The only reason you get a monthly check is that there are still workers who are mandated to contribute a portion of their income to Social Security. As more and more of worker's income will be required to fund current retirees benefits, one day a worker's entire income will have to be confiscated to pay for Social Security, Medicare, and our new government controlled health destruction.

How much of your income do you have to first pay to the Canadian government before you pay for your insurance plan which the government controls?

“The USA's problem is the out of control greed of the medical profession.” You have got to be kidding. The only profession that is underpaid is the medical profession, some of whom make substantially less than do-nothing government employees and steroid-taking athletes as well as mentally-challenged, drugged-out prostitutes called actors.

First, you only have dual citzenship as far as Canada is concerned – as dual citizenship is not recognized by the United States. You see,I know, because, when my children were born in the US my wife and I were both Canadians so we registered them as Canadians born abroad, and they are Americans by birthright.

Canadian healthcare quality varies from province to provinvce, and our large number of relatives have opinions from it is good to it is a failure. Read this from the head of the Frazier Institute and then you will have an imformed opinion.

Let's stop calling them liberals and Democrats. They are subversives and anarchists.

They don't recognize the U.S. Constitution. They use the Communist Manifesto and Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals as their operative guides.

I have a friend in California whom I asked to loan me 10% of her income. I don't think that went over too well, just as all the rest of these outrageous proposals have in Washington. Presently, all of us are being flooded with various taxes within our own states. The subterfuge just doesn't seem to end.

Somehow, I knew you would pick up on that, Sniper, Your title reveals someone trained to watch your back.

Elaine, it goes like this. Liberal Democrats believe that the Constitution is a living document and they can do anything they want as social engineering under “provide for the general welfare” clause. To Liberal Democrats, it means “Soon we will have enough of a majority of dependency classes, and when the Supreme Court is stacked, we will do anything we want to the individual and the Constitution be damned.” and they mean it literally!
