I made up all the stuff about people not receiving health care in the US, the only people who do not are lazy, good-for-nothing bums who refuse to work, and choose to live in the street because they like the outdoors, just like Ronnie said. And I have to admit, our three children were born in an igloo in the back yard. When the labour pains started, the soonest they could schedule a birth was 3 months away. Likewise, my wife's surgery, and my own, and my mother-in-law's recent hospitalization, they were all a hallucination, we did it ourselves, with a butter knife in the kitchen, but I was too ashamed to admit it. Actually, everybody in Canada died weeks ago from the neglect imposed by our socialist medical system, we're just keeping it a secret. My Socialist Party Masters (NDP) will probably haul me off to thought reform camp for revealing this, and without a hand gun I will be powerless to stop them. I forgot to mention it, until reminded in a later post by Rebecca, that of course, they must have used my universal Canadian ID card to track me down. Oh, if I had only listened to your warnings! If only everybody here had had a .45 and doctors were earning high five figure incomes, then we, in Canada, could have enjoyed the prosperity, success and delights of the US. Oh, how I wish I were still in the US, helping to pay for the Savings and Loan entrepreneurs, contributing to the Pentagon's supplies of materiel (estimated as having enough in some categories to last for centuries) and being able to shoot strangers through the door without fear of interference...
Canadian Health Care: Socialized Insurance, Not Socialized Medicine Amid the debate about reforming heath care in the United States, it's tough to turn on your television these days without hearing a political ad condemning the Canadian health care http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/160450.php

While those ads are "provocative," NPR asks whether they accurately portray Canadian health care. "Canada has a universal health care system that's paid for through income taxes and sales tax. All Canadians are covered, and they can see any doctor they want anywhere in the country with no copays or deductibles." Some services, such as dental care and outpatient prescription drugs, are paid out-of-pocket or through private insurance. "U.S. critics of Canadian health care like to call it socialized medicine, but it's more like socialized insurance - meaning the risk is pooled together. And while the individual provinces and territories set their overall health budgets and administer the health plans, the delivery of medical care is private. Doctors run their own businesses and then bill the government."
