As a resident of the US for over 20 years who also lived in Canada for over 40 years, I can assure you that Canadian healthcare works! My 88 year old pensioner mother has 2 new knees, had cataract surgery and an atrial defibrillator and pays $ 2.00 per prescription.
Seniors are treated like people instead of a market segment. The secret of affordability is that prescription drugs are cheaper, doctors generally make a decent, not extravagant living and hospitals are not private profit centers.
Until we can reduce the cost of the supply side of medical care, we will struggle to afford any kind of universal healthcare.

I will bookmark your blog and test once more right here
regularly. I am somewhat sure I’ll learn a lot of new stuff right here! Best of luck for the following!

How many of you know or remember that immediately upon taking office after beginning his first term, Barack Obama FROZE the modest payments EARNED by all working citizens to provide a subliminal poverty level income when seniors are no longer able to work.

Yet, Mr. Obama borrowed millions of dollars for his pet projects from the Social Security fund that did not even belong to him or the federal, state, or county governments. Pure unadulterated theft, in my opinion.

Doesn’t this offend the Liberals? I struggle to help support my mom but I am widowed and raising my five children. I try but cannot raise her from the extreme poverty level.

This second term of Mr. Obama reveals what his real limitations are, as he bounces around with incredible inept logic, which he expects us to pay for.

I’ve been a life-long Democrat. I no longer can recognize the Liberal philosophy at the White House. I shudder to think what B.O. has in mind for the future.
