This seems a fair look at the Canadian healthcare system. But it can't be compared to anything likely to come of American healthcare reform--no one here who's actually in a position to implement reform is asking for a single-payer system like Canada's.

  That's not what we've heard out of Russ Finegold's office. The Canadian system is what he's pushing for. I can understand why. Politicians are exempt from the "general" population's care, they have their own centers.

  What Obama is talking about is a trillion dollar a year system. How are we going to pay for that. Another trillion in deficit I guess. But liberals never think a Democrat deficit is bad. Only a Republican deficit is bad.

    We already pay. Every time someone who can't pay shows up in an ER we taxpayers pick up the bill. What I am in favor of is getting them into the hospital and get them some antibiotics before it becomes pneumonia and they are in the hospital running up a taxpayer tab. I own a car. Also it isn't a matter of democrat vs republican deficit. It is a matter of why. W ran up the deficit about letting rich people have more money to play with and trying to steal a crapload of oil. Obama ran one up trying to keep our country functioning after W completely F ed everything up. Its like debating whether you should cut off early on Fridays with a pay cut and at the same time party on the credit card vs. my hours were cut at work but my kid needs some medicine to stay alive so I have no choice but to put the medicine on credit. W chose deficit because he is an irresponsible cheerleader who has never run anything succesfully in his life. Obama did it because if he didn't things would get far worse.

  Well, there's ME and Ed Shultz, Beau! (The Ed Show)
  Too bad Sen.Baucus didn't get onboard.

    Well, if you two are in a position to implement single payer, I'm all for it. I don't know about you, but neither Ed Schultz nor I can do it.
