Remember, though, people like to spout outdated and untrue horror stories on how horrible Canada's health care system is. It's more like, "Do you really want to wait five years for
emergency surgery like Canada? Or be
fascist like China and Cuba?" It's a huge fallacy, but there you go.
Also, I gotta love Fox News. My grandpa is in the hospital today for arterial ballooning and it was on all the TVs. They were trying everything they could to make the Democratic health care reform bill look bad. We're talking trying to spin an independent study saying the Republican bill was cheaper, but wouldn't even dent the problem as a "mixed review" and getting a high-ranking Democrat up there to try to impotently raise questions as to the party's unity on it only to be told in clear and unmistakable terms that the party was very much united and would basically be doing a clean sweep on the bill. They then got "breaking news" that an even BETTER solution, from the GOP, of course, would be to allow insurance companies to compete across state lines, as if doing this would immediately fix the problem and negate the need for the reform bill.
