the government didnt pay, you did.
I am torn on this, I live in a country with socialized health care, and we were shipping pregnant women 5 hours away to montana to give birth. honestly, I know as a man I will be killed for this, but on the overall medical spectrum, a normal birth is fairly simple. C section, sure thats more involved, other complications, but a basic birth, we should be able to handle. need knee surgery, sure no problem, see your DR, from that first visit to surgery, 2 years. go to the USA, drop some cash, the same surgery you needed in 2 weeks.
I dont like the idea of people going bankrupt, or dying because they couldnt afford health care, but
and the idea our goverment proposes that we have the same service for everyone is crap. a pro hocky player (thats on ice to you down under folk) tears up his knee, he could have surgery in 24 hours. get hurt at work, 2 weeks. know the prime minister, similar. same guy who would have been 2 weeks if he got hurt at work gets hurt at home, could be 2 years. bogus.

Speaking from a country that basically has socialised health care, which while it has it's problems, is pretty bloody fantastic. Example, all my maternity care, pre and post natal, and my c-section as well as my hospital stay, etc etc, cost me nothing. Paid for by our government.

The world may as well end, though that was only an injection of humor! I hate O`drama, he has destroyed the US as we knew it, and the fact that he was re-elected is amazing after the first four years. How the hell can it get any better when he forces socialism down our throats and breaks any damned law he so chooses to to force this on us. We need a business man to run the country, not a lawyer that is a loop hole specialist. Our economy is big business, that is why we need a businessman to run the place. Checks and balances brother , not check after check after check!

see the world end then have Obama as president. I was watching a video on youtube and someone posted that they want
him assassinated so we can heal. World ending and killings are what we need? OK.
Working together might help more but with these kind of attitudes...
On another note, it was hilarious watching his acceptance speech on "Fox News". You could see their anchors with a look of
disgust on their faces having to sit through it. I was in heaven. Then Bill O'Reilly, he was almost in tears! Excellent stuff.
What a Day!!!!
