Heard Hannity attack Canada's National Healthcare system yesterday.....
it's no good and falling apart because it's socialism and everybody in Canada is coming to the US for treatment.......

as he was foaming at the mouth making this statement I wondered if there weren't any other rightwing radio nutjobs (other than Rush Lamebrain) on oxycontin......

Hello...Hannity?....remember how just recently the big story of AMERICAN SENIOR's driving to Canada to get their drugs CHEAPER.....it seems you have the facts backwards, as usual.

1. But if he keeps repeating over, and over,
71% of Americans will believe him.

2. Anyone ever notice...
That every bad thing the corporations and the frothers said would come to pass, from Clinton's single-payer health plan, has come to pass from the way things are now, and worse?

I have.

4. Gee, Sean, I wonder what would happen if
Edited on Thu Dec-18-03 08:45 PM by SoCalDem
there was a referendum on the next Canadian election that asked:

Do you want to scrap Canadian Healthcare, and go with the US health care??

That would be a real hoot.. Easy to tally they votes too..:eyes:

What really bothers me is that dunderheads like him and Rush & Bill O'Really? have the microphone for HOURS on HOURS and are able to spew LIES over and over.. People hear it on a "news program" and they believe it.. It's just a way to "tell" the Americans that even though they have NO reliable healthcare , ubless they are lucky and/or rich, but Caadians have it worse :eyes:

Rationalization...pure & simple..

5. I wonder if the rightwingers pass a hat with names of countries...
and they pick out one and that is the one they all go after for a while. It does seem that Canada is "pick of the month"!

Last I checked, my 56.00 a month for my health care was still covering me just fine.

6. Boy, Canada's the talk of the right wing

WTF, is going on. This type of attack used to bother me, and I'd rush to defend our health-care system...can't be bothered anymore. Not only does our system work well, I don't ever have to wonder if my fellow Canadian's are struggling to pay for coverage, or worse going without.IMO, universal health care is a basic human right and there is no excuse for not providing it in an advanced society.
