It may not be perfect, but at least it is a step in the right direction.

Our elected representatives were very brave to vote for health reform, given all of the death threats that they have received from the typical band of Republican kooks.

You can get better care in India where medical treatment is virtually unregulated and unsupported by the State. I get my perscription drugs from India, cheaper and just as good as can be gotten in the U.S.. Free enterprise rulz.

Which patient behaved irrationally under the circumstances? Obviously, the U.S. patient. If I got sick in Canada I would take full advantage of the Canadian system.

That sounded like an emergency.

Couldn't he have with-held his credit card, and then just conveniently ditched the country as soon as he was well enough?
