Reads this and many stories just like it.

Maybe someone will die from this idea of free healthcare after waiting in line for a major surgery.

Also, friends of ours from Canada who visit the same hotel every year on the same week for 10+ years in a row tell me all the time you are fine if you do not need something done, if you do you might as well get in line because you have no choices, someone makes them all for you.
By the way, he came to the US to get a triple bypass a few years back, he would have had to wait for 6 months to get one in Canada, here he got it done in less then a week.

I will keep my healthcare thanks.

No more handouts or freebies and no more government in my life.
That does not matter............................

It is all about the free.................. they dont even want to talk about that and say it is a lie even.
Also people who compare Canada "free" medical do not even k now the taxes that are paid in that country.

It would be great if National Health Care would even work, could you think for one minute that the GOVERNMENT was in charge of you going to the doctor??
They can not even govern themselves, it sounds good, but in reality how has it worked in other countries?
My health care has gone from $195. per month to $283. in just the last three years. I am self-employed. What does Obama want to do??
Increase my self-employement tax. Think I can pay that and my health insurance then. I like the $5,000. tax credit from Mccain better.
What we need is to get our health care out of the insurance companies greedy hands.
There is much that can be done.

OK.....so you don't want it in the insurance companies' hands, and you don't want the government to oversee it- who's going to manage the healthcare system then??
