The US stands alone in its approach to health care.

Yeah that's because we're not a bunch of socialists. :)

You HAVE to provide universal health care because there are NO jobs in your pathetic country.


I live in Canada. Unemployment is less that the US, and so is our budget.

You were saying?


That's because the Canadian government employs 3.6 Million government employees out of 17 Million of your total labor force. WOW! talk about big government! That's almost 25% of your total labor force!

% of gov't employees in the US is only 15% of our labor force. Considering the size of our country, military, etc. that figure is small compared to Canada's labor force-gov't employee ratio.

NICE TRY ;)

I get it that you're proud of your universal healthcare system. I honestly wish we have one but the issue is COST. if you can think of a way to implement universal healthcare without bankrupting our country i want to hear it.
