 RK> Why do the Canadians have a health care

 BC> Your assertion about Canada isn't wholly true.
 
 RK> What's not true about it? I've yet to talk to a Canadian that would

 BC> Well the basic fallacy is that by your own admission YOU haven't
 BC> talked with all Canadians.  There are plenty who would choose another
 BC> system, just as there are plenty in this country who would not trade
 BC> ours for anything else.
 
Now you're being foolish. Of course I haven't talked to all Canadians. I
said that I have yet to meet a Canadian who would trade their system for
ours. What investigative processes have you conducted to support your
position? You say "there are plenty who would choose....", and there are
plenty in this country who would not trade...". How can you make
such an assertions without some data? There are millions in this country
who would trade the system, or lack of system, that we have for almost
anything else. What you are doing is parroting the hackneyed propaganda
that the insurance industry and medical profession have been throwing at us
for years. My poll data is based on a sample just the same as any other
poll that we have in this country.
 BC> Why can't the USA provide housing and food for everyone, too?  Both
 BC> are essential to ultimate survival.
 
 RK> I think that we are trying to do just that!
 BC> Foolishness.
You wish!
... Bigot?  Racist?  Fundamentalist?  Redneck?  The Republicans want YOU!
