Now that was an unexpected twist from you Joshie Boy
First you cant stand Obama and now all of a sudden you side with the democrats and Moore's Sicko.
So which side are you on? A supporter of government run health care?
Do we really want socialized medicine here?
Of course there is no perfect system but then again why should 85% of people with health care give up our private health coverage just to cover it for the balance 15%. Do we really need to let government screw up health care just to get everyone covered like in Canada?
The day government can do as good a job as private is the day someone has a good health care system
Both have serious flaws Joshie Boy but I am glad you at least took a stab at it. Now tell us why government run health care would not seriously degrade the quality of existing private health care and you might be onto something.
Well done.
Like I mentioned earlier, I'm not this Joshie boy you are referring to. Hence your confusion about this supposed stand I have. For the sake of argument, can you just assume I'm not Joshie boy?
I think the main concern in the state is on "socialized" medicine versus private health care. I really don't understand where is this fear of having a national health care system in the state.
Neddy started this thread on some of the benefit he has seen in Australia on a national health care system. You proceeded with examples, of what you may lose under this Obamacare scheme and the republicans adverts on long waiting time in delays for medical treatments. I suppose, all I can say is its all FUD so far. Obama wants a national health care system for various reasons.

The final implementation may not be what it is. It may not be an exact copy of the Australian or Canadian system. Michael Moore's film, touches on these. Yes, its left wing libertarian propaganda, that some may say, but it highlights issue in the States that Obama is trying to address. An interesting point that was made in the film was that the USPO is essentially "socialized" postal service yet no one seem to be making a big fuss about it. I wonder why?
I'll hazard a guess as to why you are trying to muddy the argument here with health care. Perhaps, the reason why you are harping so much about health care between Australia, Canada and the State is because if it turns out the change is better for the states, there is one less reason for you to compare about. I suppose that is one less issue to attend to for a professional Troll.
Just be patient when Neddy comes in, I'm sure he missed you a lot as well.
