The media here continually brings up Canada as an example of government run health care. If it's so good, then why do people come from there to the US, and pay for their care 100% themselves, so they can get the care that Canada had been denying them? This happens everyday. I'm not saying the US system is perfect. It isn't. But I'm not convinced that other systems are better.

Obamacare has already enacted some good things. I don't want to repeal the entire thing, like many, including Mitt Romney, are calling for. But let's fix the bad stuff in the law and move forward.

>It is amusing if it were not that sad. I've been working 15+ year on healthcare systems arround the globe. There is not a single healthcare system in the world that is as expensive, inefficient, on the average low quality and leave so many people out of accesible healthcare as in the US.

>No matter what you guys bring up, the above is a single fact. Seeing this great resistence against anything that attempts to make a change here does not make any common sense. I don't understand why healthcare can work a lot better in all other countries, it cannot work in the US.

>Is obamacare perfect? without a doubt, it will not be, but at least the first step towards affordable and higher quality care.

>-The fuel for a horse is cheaper

>Seeing this mitt romney on the TV esssentially putting up his middle finger to 50 million US citizens left without health insurance, makes my heart puge out. His other middle finger to the other 270 million who have only access to poor quality or limited coverage, essentially saying that good healthcare should only be available to the rich 5%.

>It just does not make sense. Wake up, you're seriously falling behind the rest of the civilised world and sliding (if not already there) to the standard that belong to a 3rd world country. Good, affordable healthcare, is and should be a right in any civilised world.
