Supreme Court upholds Obamacare

I see that you have already been told that is not the case. Furthermore, Ontario has had a long struggle trying reduce the number of Americans sneaking into Ontario hospitals looking for health care.

The fraud problem was particularly acute in cities close to the US, where 37 million people have no health insurance. According to Ontario doctors who work in these cities, many former residents who moved to the US kept a mailing address in Canada in order to obtain a health card. Some Americans who own cottages in Ontario form another group of abusers: because they have an Ontario address, they can obtain a health card. Other cases involve out-of-country visitors borrowing valid OHIP cards from friends and family members for medical treatment in Canadian emergency wards.

Hey TazYeah I think I have a pretty good fix on where Buz is coming from. Even though he looks a lot like a Poe I think he is speaking from his heart and is saying what he believes to be true. While it is hard to teach an old dog anything, hope springs eternal. Lots of others reading too. I agree it seems rather un-Christian, certainly not very charitable. The other thing is, as a Canadian I have never had to wait an unreasonable amount of time for health care. A couple hours on occasion in a crowded ER but so what. Now I am pretty healthy and don't spend a lot of time in the health care system so my experience may not be the norm. I understand that hip replacements and the like can involve some long wait times but any kind of ailment that requires immediate attention is dealt with immediately. I would bet that you couldn't find a handful of Canadians who have actually died waiting for some treatment. I suspect it is far less than die from getting treatment . Just this morning my wife called the doctor for an appointment for my daughter's ear ache. The appointment was made for 4:00pm today. If that wasn't fast enough there are walk in clinics in every town over 5,000 people. So I think the long wait arguement is mostly a myth. That and people are just too damn impatient.

A bit off topic I guess but yeah, keep on rockin in the free world.
