pathetic. If I didn't love this town, I'd think about moving for the health care.

An excellent point.

Nit Wit said...

I can see it now. Reason for not allowing Nitwit to become Canadian.
He has a preexisting condition.
I always knew those green countries were evil, and the red ones are the ones destroying life as we know it.

It beggars belief, doesn't it? It seems such a basic right - something everyone should take for granted, certainly in a western world that affords billions of it's budget dollars towards defence. Fighting terrorism is all fine and well, but how about preventing millions more deaths by simply instigating a free basic healthcare system accesible to all?

blue:think i could convince west, texas to move to canada? id go.
debrah:scary huh?
nitty:yup...greatest country in the world..we pay for 2 countries we're at war with for health care but not us..maybe we should declare war on us?
shrinky:beats the shit out of me.

Why am a kicking myself in the ass for not being a draft-dodger during 'Nam and going around the lake, eh????

billy pilgrim said...

you want canadian health care?

go to india and have some east indian claim you're a relative then come to canada under the family re-unification program.

That really makes me want to puke.

The part that makes me want to scream is the fact both Iraq and Afghanistan have national health care that we're paying for, but we can't have it in the U.S. If it's good enough for the people we keep trying to kill, why isn't it good enough for us?

Pom said...

Yep. I'd gladly give up the status as "super power" if it would bring about something more like "healthy citizens". Can't be a super power with all of the deprivation we have within our borders. Makes me wonder how any American can possibly pity anyone else in the world when we're so obviously lacking in the basics. And this is why I will never support Obama's health care "plan".

So,basically we're in the same boat as 1 billion Chinese,and several nomadic tribes wandering the Sahara desert..
Who knew Afghanistan was a Socialist country?

TheWayfarer said...

When we have to start sending our people to Canada, England or China for complex operations or they develop a cure for cancer, I'll sign on.

Intense Guy said...

This map really makes the morons in congress stand out look even sorer thumbs.

...maybe we need a war in this country to get health coverage under war funding?
