Catastrophe - How Shariah Law Has Taken Over The West

No, because the Europeans/Canadians didn't have a well-established (and incomprehensibly wealthy) system of HMO's that have everything to lose.

Hilariously, this time around most of the insurance industry is behind health care reform. Pretty much the only folks against it are the crazy Obama-must-fail crowd.

When Tommy Douglas fought to create Medicare (Canada's Universal Healthcare system) in the early to mid sixties (with it being finalized in 1966), the doctors and insurance companies fought it tooth and nail every single foot of the way, even going so far as to organize a province-wide doctor's strike in 1962 in Saskatchewan, his home province (where he was leader of the provincial NDP, before taking on the national leadership in the same year).

They fought a dirty, fear-mongering and lie-filled, effluently racist campaign to try and terrify Saskatchewanians (then later Canadians) that a universal health care system (hell, any government-based health care system) would kill them all, and force the government to import foreign doctors to handle all the poor people that would get health care now. DIRTY FOREIGN DOCTORS.

They were finally defeated, and the early forms of our system began to take shape. Leading to, today, a system that we may bitch about from time to time but, by a hugely overwhelming majority, would never want scrapped for a private one. The same sorts of people fighting it in the US fought it here. The only difference is that they didn't have the internet, and tv wasn't as filled with talking heads as it is now.

The spectres of fear and greed were overcome up here. I certainly hope they can be beaten down there.

If I say "no", what'll happen to me?

Is the answer "explosions"? Muslim and/or Canadian explosions?

CASTRATION!!! DOUBLE CASTRATON!!!!

YES NO DEBATE

Things get done in this country by scaring old people.

And babies, don't forget those too.

On some local news they had this piece where they just kept asking random long islanders about whether or not they thought their taxes would go up to cover the healthcare plan. Then at the very end they snuck in Gibbs reiterating the promise of no tax hikes for those with under 250k of income but basically shrugged it off.

Where were the cries of bankruptcy when we went to Iraq for reasons that *still* have not been officially and truthfully explained? Oh yeah, Joe Teabagger was too busy waving the flag because Killing Brown People Is What We Do Best (tm).
