As a small C conservative Canadian who very much supports Universal Health Care, I have 1 question.....
Where are these townhall meetings and how do I get to go?
I'd love to see the BS that being hurled around by those on the right first hand. "Death Panels" (did Sarah Palin really come up with that term?) and how you'll all surely die if any sort of Health Care Reform was put into place.
As a goofy Canadian watching all the BS down south flow large, I have to say you yankees are pretty riled up about all of this. Watching Granny on the news getting into a shoving match with some reporter and how my country is constantly under attack where we are all dying in the Streets in Toronto.
In reading about what Obama is proposing, he's not going nearly far enough to be sucessful. All he's talking about is establishing a government run Insurance plan. He isn't even dreaming about regulating the industry (taking over the hospitals, and eliminating private health care clinics as they did in the Great White north back in the days of Tommy Douglas.
Unless Obama figures that once he establishes a gov't run insurance company that everyone will eventually end up there, he really isn't talking about UHC now is he.
I guess if he ever suggested nationalizing the Health Care Industry in order to cut profit out of the equation (and the fat cats that go with it) people would just plan start burning the joint down.
