There are no waiting lists for life or death surgery and you know that.
2 :
Sure
3 :
Well, that is what Barack Hussein Obama thinks you ought to do. I want to see you live a long life!
4 :
If you get colon cancer, just write yourself off.
5 :
in cancer cases the guy above is precisely WRONG don't trust libs ... especially obama
6 :
Especially if your treatment was delayed longer for demographic reasons (i.e. you're above 60). I think that's what our founders fought and died for, the requirement to have government run health care that dictates how they are cared for in their last days. That sounds vaguely like freedom.

It's your patriotic duty to pay your taxes, then die. Peace
8 :
Well if you weren't taking it up the @ss all the time from the insurance companies, chances are you wouldn't have colon cancer in the first place.

Today I pulled up the Canadian website for wait times. I would have had to wait over 80 DAYS to have surgery for breast cancer, enough time for many cases to have metastasized. I was in surgery 6 days after my own diagnosis. http://www.health.gov.on.ca/transformation/wait_times/public/wt_public_mn.html

Depends on your age. If your over 65 your toast.
11 :
Yes. But you are assured by heir 0bama that you will be given proper counseling so you know you are dying for a good cause. If that doesn't convince you, he will make sure you are doped out of your mind and unable to protest.
12 :
Your Big Money Insurance Company might let you die if their profit is down. Tell your doctor give him a few pill to kill the pain.
13 :
Just take the pain pills. There'll be lots of pain pills.

Where do you get such tripe? (Anybody with decent health insurance will NOT have to take the government health coverage. It's for people that don't have any, if that's what you're implying.) As for Canada, my husband is half Canadian. We visited British Columbia a few years ago & our daughter got an ear infection so we took her to an emergency room. Total cost of diagnosis, treatment & medication, an alarming $15!!! Plus, we were treated with respect & very quickly. As you know in America, you'll be filling in a bunch of papers before the patient is seen & if they can't see any money in it for them, you won't be asked to take a seat, because you won't see a doctor. My mother-in-law had MS. She lived in a 24hr. care facility where she received excellent care & again with total respect for human beings. She lived longer than we expected because of that care & was not robbed of her life's savings.
