Originally posted by uzlessI consider Canada a socialistic nation much like most Western European countries. but if you want to be communistic, thats ok.
Canada a communist country? What is this, the 1950's again????
We pay more taxes so that we don't have to pay up gigantic health bills.
That doesn't make us a bunch of commies. It just makes us healthy. 😉
I note that you seized on that part of my post though and ignored the more important parts.

There needs to be a bill support more birth control and more planned parenthood centers.
How do you cure poverty? Stop breeding a system where the poor are rewarded for breeding. Reward them for education and employment and social contribution.

Perhaps you have an issue with a line on a map? Most Canadians don't.
The funny thing is that ANY Canadian can go i ...[text shortened]... at same hospital because they have no health care coverage.
Which system would you choose?
If your neighboring country was socialised (same lack of facilities) they wouldn't have had a place to go, no matter the money. The babies life would be in danger. If Canadian system is so great, why aren't there facilities?
ANY Canadian can go into that hospital in the US and get their medical treatment paid for, yet 40 million Americans can't go into that same hospital because they have no health care coverage.
Simply wrong. You are treated even if you cannot pay. Proven every day by 20 million Mexican nationals who get free medical at hospital.
Which system would you choose?
Free Market, same as the other Canadians who go to the USA to save loved ones lives.

I mean, c'mon, man! It's for the chilllldren.
What is W. thinking, I mean this could have been GREAT!
As I sign up for subsidized housing, and my new American Flag EBT card, and of course medicaid, I could have gotten a FREE 5,000 for every kid my old lady pops out!!!! Man what was he thinking!!! Maybe we can counter offer for some lifetime Unemployment.😉
Originally posted by der schwarze Ritter"Aborting children" makes no sense. Fetuses are aborted. Children do not exist inside wombs.
That's interesting that like Al Qaeda, you and the Democrats choose to hide behind innocent children and use them as a shield. You talk about the most vulnerable yet remain silent about the innocent children that have been aborted and flushed down the commode or carved up into little pieces to supply cadaver parts for medical experiments or to be used in Alzheimer drugs. Your cowardice and hypocrisy makes me want to vomit!

Originally posted by lepomisI thought S-CHIP was for kids whose parents made enough money to no longer qualify for medicaid, but still not enough to manage healthcare. In fact, I'm pretty sure that is the entire point of S_CHIP which kinda renders your point...moot.
🙂 That was good.
That baby is covered under medicaid, but I'm sure DSR knows that. You seem to be an expert in US healthcare, why do you not know about medicaid?

Originally posted by TheSkipperWhat it was intended to do and what it became under the skillful direction of progressives in Congress are two different things. My understanding of the legislation was that there were no financial criteria to speak of. Which was a major point of contention with its opponents.

My problem with it was ,as I stated in a earlier post, the way it was going to be paid for ... which was flawed. Raising the tax on cigarettes $1 a pack (156 percent) sounds fine because American society has come to 'demonize' smokers unfairly, IMHO. But when the numbers of smokers drop and less revenue is coming in, what will the progessives 'demonize' next? Fast Food? Coffee drinkers? Beef eaters? It seems they always find some group to victimize.
And of course we start with children, then it will be the children of illegal immigrants, although they have no rights at all in this country, then it will be adults getting the same government (that is money from the American tax paying public) handout.
I think most Americans don't want to go down that 'slippery slope'
