Look, at the way the conservatives are depicting us, you had me fooled since I have been 13.. (12 years ago)
I don't think they are depicting "you" as much as just demonizing your health care system. You like it a lot, but then Danny Williams apparently does not.
Which only underline your ignorance of the canadian system and reality. You know that the administrative level in Canada is at the Provincial level? (Province is the equivalent of State in Canada). The federal law states the "Grand Line" the provinces should adminstrate their things, but they are usually blur and flexible ennough to allow lots of difference between Alberta and here Quebec.
Far from it, it merely accentuates the commonalities, and yet the differences. You have 35m, right? Ok, now try governing 310m. This is not a provincial or state issue. It is purely federal. You indicate I am ignorant because your system is run by 10 provinces where the population averages 3m (up to about 8 for Ontario?). Try running a centralized plan for 310m and growing from Ottawa.
the same thing could be achieved in the USA. Having Federal laws preventing inter-state abuses would be the best way to control exagerations, but outside of this, the states should be the one to provide administration.
Let me call your attention to the bolded word. You are correct because you used that word. Indeed, some of the republican plans have even gone so far as to try to aid with the second statement above. Removing the bar on interstate commerce (which is the role of the Federal government) when it comes to medical insurance. The problem is that Obama and the other democrats have cut that out.
The democrats? Hating the insurance companies? They are probably the ones the most in arms of the insurance and high finance lobbies.
As we have already seen, they make love in the night, and then villianize during the day. The only thing the democrats like is the money from the insurance companies. They (Barney Frank and Obama being the leading 2) have already said they want them gone since they are "evil". Of course the companies gave money to the democrats. They wanted to try to be the "Good Quisling", but as anyone who has read about the Fox and the Gingerbread man knows, the marriage never makes it across the river.
Have you considered that Obama is not the profit-hater you depict him as to be? Seriously, have you considered that the difference between Obama and your rethoric is about the same between Bush and his detractors at the time?
I would love to consider it! Show me where? I do not fault a tiger for being a tiger. Obama has never hidden his contempt for private enterprise (he did after all tell Joe the Plumber - tough shit). Obama did not run as a friend of private business. he ran on the platform that government does not do enough. So I can consider it, but then there is no basis to believe it.
