Its your personal responsibility to care for and nurture said animals.<br /><br />As a grown adult we should not have need for our government to manage our personal responsibilities.<br /><br />We start with "bailing out" multi million dollar companies, then move on to health care, education, where does it stop?<br /><br />Does it stop just before the government officially declares you a slave?<br /><br />If your government runs your private business, runs your healthcare, runs your child's school, are they a government or a nanny?<br /><br />Why do we as Americans feel the need to have others run our lives?<br /><br />Are we that pathetic?<br /><br /><br />Melinda,<br />Both my wife and I work in healthcare. I have seen our system failing and have learned from my Canuck brothers and sisters about theirs.<br /><br />I think your system is much better for your people then our system is for our people.<br /><br />The problem is that your system is by nature a socialist system. <br /><br />America was founded as a Constitution Republic with a capitalist economy.<br /><br />When you implement socialist change in a Constitutional Republic begin removing individual freedoms.<br /><br />One of our great fore fathers was quoted as saying "Give me liberty or give me death!".<br /><br />I guess what I am trying to say is the we are Americans, we do not think like the Canadians. We do not wish to become Canadian. Nothing against you guys and gals but we love our freedoms more then we need a nanny.<br /><br />Universal healthcare is nothing more then another way of saying socialized healthcare.<br /><br />Anything socialized is bad for this country, its history, and its future.<br /><br /><br />-Capitan America (Mr.H) .. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843786101834494343.post-83519596785719875812009-09-27T09:41:29.873-04:002009-09-27T09:41:29.873-04:00I love this post!

I have complete control over my healthcare. I'm married to an American and he was in shock and awe of how misinformed he was regarding our universal health care. <br />As Canadians we do feel it is a right.<br />There is a lot of fearmongering I think because a lot of what people are saying is just not true. I've offered to answer people's questions and no one will ask any because they are not educating themselves. Drives me crazy lol.<br />Anyway, great post and I'm looking forward to hearing more from you as you have a unique view of both sides of the health care system.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708182037173897804noreply@blogger.com
