Well, they didn't start OIF. And I went to a dozen funerals and had to miss a dozen more. I still live OIF every day. It isn't an argument you can win with me.

Excuse my ignorance.... OIF?
Sorry but I had to respond to this as I sit here in Canada with my universal health care Dogman, yes in some cases in Canada there are long waits. Maybe 2 years for a hip replacement IF it is not an emergency. Not being able to walk however, is and would be considered an emergency and the wait time would be dramatically cut down. So you would get the hip replacement, the physiotherapy and care needed after that replacement and you would owe nothing... Maybe there is a wait for non emergency procedures, and maybe those with the money will go to the states and pay to avoid that wait, that being said it is the same wait for everyone. Going on 3 years ago my husband got very sick, was hospitalised for close to 2 weeks and was on a home IV for months. We didn't lose our home, we didn't go bankrupt. Enough said. The funny thing about those forums that tell the horrors of the Canadian Health Care System is it is primarily Americans talking about how bad it is here in Canada. I pay around 90$ a month for my insurance, which covers 80% of my families prescriptions, dental and eyewear, my husband has the same meaning we are 100% covered for any and all visits to the pharmacy, dentist, eye Dr... as well as Physiotherapists, Chiropractors and I believe each of us has 500$/per person per year for massage. I am proud of my Country's Health Care, I am over joyed to have it. I understand the cost is upsetting, but I have never understood the American refusal of a universal health care plan. It seems, at the risk of pissing a few off here, that there is an ingrained fear that taking care of all citizens by allowing equal rights to health care will somehow tear the fabric of your society. Most other civilized country's have a health care system in place, and they are not crumbling due to it. Just my 2 centsChuck, check out the discussion forums about Canadian health care to get an idea of what I was talking about.... over 2 yrs for a hip replacement in some cases.... yea I guess you won't die but you cant walk w/o it, lol

Yes AB, but usually we take the dog sled team in at the same time so is cheaper It is booking the appointments by smoke signals that can get tedious
Operation Iraqi Freedom (I, II, III, etc etc). My husband fought infantry in 2 OIF rotations and 1 OEF rotation (Operation Enduring Freedom). I am bitter, he is bitter and we both have a right to be. He left over 2 dozen dead comrades behind. We live with survivor's guilt every day. I actively HATE GWB for OIF and there is nothing anyone can say, no one can bring those men back home.

Totally agree Cody. I haven't followed this thread, just read this page. I too do not understand the refusal to accept universal health care. boggles the mind, really.
Can u imagine if you had a job, had healthcare with said job, had a baby with serious health issues, lost your job and benefits and then BAM! Baby has preexisting conditions, coverage is now refused. that just blows my mind.
We already have that without ACA, it's call indigent care. This happens more times than most know and the babies do get care.
Study up on US insurance, the foundation of how it was laid.. if you have not, you go to
1. Family
2. Your place of worship (Church)
3. Community
Now the thought process is, we have not "turn to the government".. so if they control health care.. what else do you think they can control?
Mmmmmmhmmm.. If memory serves me correctly not one Republican voted for the ACA, they laid out what was to come.. and so far 1 by 1 it's coming to life. Again I don't agree with every Republican nor Dem but this clown in office needs to go.

What is the number one reason for people filing for bankruptcy in the US?
