All the scare stories about National Health in Britain or whatever they call it in Canada are BS. Ask the voters in those countries if they would change back to a primitive system like the USA. Remember Sarah Palin admitted that her family snuck over the border to Canada to get their healthcare.You must work for one of the drug companies that Obamacare will put a leash on unless McConnell & Gang keep it from being fully implemented. By the way, I've been waiting for a knee replacement for a year and a half because I'm "only" 65 and doctors don't want to do it out of fear they'll have to do another when I'm 80 or something. We HAVE healthcare rationing now, here. I'd rather have it run by the government than by the insurance and drug companies. I'm done. .

And yet they all pay far less, live far longer, and enjoy better health outcomes for their years ... facts is facts, bub

If you're already 65, then aren't you under MediCare? Yes, they ration--my mom had to wait because she wasn't blind enough before they would authorize her cataract surgery.

If you're already seeing the effect of heath care rationing on you, why would you think that it would work better when the whole country is involved.
