    What hurt McCain?

    after 8 years of watching republicans fritter away golden opportunities, playing with interns, and spending like drunken sailors, lining their own pockets... they brought this upon themselves. Frankly, I have been appalled by the republican party.... and I am not a liberal or a democrat. I am a...

    What will the stock market do tomorrow?

    please don't mistake thsi as being pro anyone or against anyone - but the market will rally into the end of the year. This election is a strong psychological/emotional positive. There will be more bad news in the economy but reality will be overwhelmed with euphoria or excitement for a...

    Why Doesn't America Have a National Health Service?

    Wow - that would be difficult to reply to piece by piece. I will try to gather the strength later. In cass it wasn't blatantly obvious, I firmly believe that on average the UK provides subpar medical care, as well as the european counhtries I know of. Socialized medicine has not and I would...

    Why Doesn't America Have a National Health Service?

    Private pay - private payor health insurance - perhaps the prohibition has changed I don't know. I know as of 2005 it was illegal. The case that overturned Quebec's prohibition is Chaoulli v. Quebec. Perhaps this ruling wound up unwinding the other provinces bans.

    Why Doesn't America Have a National Health Service?

    Actually, having just got back from one of teh world's leading cancer centers, I know the answer to that question all too well. In Canada they don't treat you anymore...you go home and die. In Norway you go home and die. In the UK you go home and die. Those are the three nations of people I met...

    Why Doesn't America Have a National Health Service?

    Like I said, freedom. You obviously only consider your own freedom in that. Canada has a single payer program. To make single payer systems work... you have to lock in physicians in one way, shape or another. Furthermore, private insurance is illegal in Canada...except Quebec I think. Wow, now...

    Why Doesn't America Have a National Health Service?

    ok, maybe not spineless. Or at least there are many that are not spineless. I remember the day when it dawned on me that my generation (baby boomers) were spoiled hypocrits. Here we were growing up talking about peace, and love and tolerance....all the while complaining about materialism...

    Why Doesn't America Have a National Health Service?

    NO, actually doesn't sound familiar. Good timing that it just came out today. Gee those poor alzheimer's patients that had to go into demenetia waiting for for some UK beurocrats (who by the way get killer healthcare). But no, as to yoru point....if I scrounged teh money here I did not get...

    Why Doesn't America Have a National Health Service?

    No, that wouldn't be the problem. Truly, people in the US are weak willed wimps. A spoiled, very spoiled people with no spine. It truly boggles the imagination. I would think people in the US value freedom, but they are eager to surrender it.... as long as they can have their freebies, lattes...

    Why Doesn't America Have a National Health Service?

    No, not true. In the US, you do not have to have insurance. That is an ignorant statement. In America you have....get this...that novel idea people are still trying to get rid of....freedom. In the UK there is no choice. In the UK the government chooses for you. Here, at least, if you can...

    Why Doesn't America Have a National Health Service?

    No, then they just deny claims so they don't become unsolvent. I am insured by a non profit. Non profit status has absolutely nothing to do with having a claim paid or denied. Bottom line is no organization, be it government or corporate can afford to provide unlimited benefits. They have to...

    Why Doesn't America Have a National Health Service?

    No, thats not exactly true. Perhaps you think it is. But it is not. Depending on what condition you have, how old you are, what you're expected quality of life will be post/pre treatment... those are all determinants of whether you get treated or not. For example, if you have the onset of...
