So- right wing nutters attack Canadian Medicare- they go on and on about NHS dishonestly

[depakid]

Why won't they go after Australians?

After all- when it comes right down to it, that would be the system most like what the US would see?

Any thoughts on that?

2. I suppose it's easy to pick on some folks- even if they get better care Opihi

Kind of a reptilian brain thing- as my significant other likes to say. Little trickier I bet to pick on others.

3. GOP ..The LIMITED PARTY...they try to tell/sell us their Half Answers is best and

But the evidence of long term(8 yrs) Failure is irrefutable....the Planet hovers on Famine..and they refuse to listen to scientists concerned of our collective plight

5. Our Medicare differ from each Province. I live in BC, and the medical

care was fantastic when the NDP was in Power. As soon as Campbell got elected, he disbanded a lot of health care for women, eye care tests were not covered, but all in all, our Canadian system is great. Who knows which company will be paying for seeing eye dogs!

6. Even so- the basic benefits package isn't tiered

and profiteering "insurers" are cut out of the equation on that level.

Not so in Oz- though there is responsible regulation.

I was thinking about a couple of other reasons why the far right nutters- and their enablers in the American media are afraid? to engage the Aussies.

7. Our system is working for us. Sometimes it might be slow but ours

is the best!

8. Not knocking Canadian Meidcare at all

Just sayin' lots of Americans- even some Democrats see fit to lie and whinge- as they've been doing for years on years about Canada.

Even though whatever might be in the works won't resemble Health Canada and such. They just pick on you- and yet, the Australian system- which would most closely resemble what Americans could do- neither the right wingers nor the blue dogs ever go there.

My guess is that there are at least several reasons why.
