And Bush was a mealy mouth pussy that tried to invade a country that was already on it's knees and couldn't even do that right.
What's your point?

It's not that kickbacks weren't required, it's just that your legislators will block anything, whether good or bad because it means someone will bribe them.
It has nothing to do with how good the legislation is and everything to do with how much pork these guys can get by miking the system.

Yves, I would love to have your system. The difference is that the Canadian government has shown that it is capable of managing a system like that. The U.S. has clearly shown in the past that it is not. Unless somebody can find a way to convince both Canada and the U.S. to allow the Canadian government to implement, and manage in perpetuity, the U.S. health care system, we're screwed.
You know, back in 1776, your forefathers banded together and threw off the chains of a corrupt government that was screwing them.
Fast forward 225 or so years, and you are now being ruled by a corrupt government that is screwing you.
Perhaps it's time to throw a hard six and do what your founding fathers did for the good of their country.
Providing there are still men left in the USA with the integrity and balls of Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton.
