I am beginning to hear, on the American news casts, that the Democrats are about to give up on working with the Republicans and just put a Democrat plan for health care into place by themselves.

I just hope that you don't believe those crappy commercials telling you that the Canadian Health system is THAT bad.>

Yes there are waiting lists... but never ever I heard about urgent cases that were not treated fast.>
>Well I have. Fox News has interviewed sevral Canadians who told horror stories about having to wait years for treatment for serious conditions. It just may be that these cases are not, unsurprisingly, covered extensively in the media. Andy lived in England for 45 years, so he has some first hand knowledge about nationalized heath care. And our brother-in-law is a physician in England and he has had some real horror stories to tell from first hand experience.

>You must not follow the news very closely. The pharmaceutical companies have signed on to Obamacare.

Oh I understand that many in the USA are living the American dream (doctors, insurance companies, pharmaceutical...). It's so sad that many are also living an American nightmare.>
>Life is what you make it. If you work hard, anyone can live the American dream. If you don't work hard to achieve your goals, you have no one to blame but yourself.
