<<Whining, huh? Canada has seen nothing like the "damage" done by this invasion. There are hospitals in places like Southern California that are out of business due to immigrant indigent care.>>

That's because your greedy, selfish, overcompensated doctors won't show up for work to treat the sick and the injured unless they can see hundreds of thousands of dollars in return in it for them at the end of each fiscal year and your greedy pharmaceutical companies insist on being remunerated at obscene rates for their "research and development" efforts, often dedicated only to by-passing some competitor's patent with an effective or not-so-effective copycat drug or rushing new stuff to market for quick profits before everyone learns of its toxic and lethal effects. 

Spoken like a true ignorant socialist.  Actually, it's becasue the regulations imposed, price controls imposed, and mandatory policies imposed upon those Doctors that receive medicare & medicaid, barely pay for their offices to remain open, and to pay off student loans, many of them in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.  ER's are so understaffed at times, because there overwhelmed with people just coming in for colds and sprains, which diverts much needed resources from those who need emergent care.  And without the millions of dollars that Pharmaceutical compaines spend in their R&D, there'd be only a fraction of the drugs currently out on the market to take care of severe chronic pain, late stage cancer, and just about any other debilitating, if not crippling disease.  For Tee, they should do this all for free, and be content about it.  Damn the costs required to perform such.  So now Doctors are the bad guys, because they dare want to actually make a good living while saving lives.  You can be such an idiot at times, Tee

Wow, sirs, I hope no one is smoking near your computer terminal, because you just set up so many straw men that a single spark could set off a major conflagration.

Mr. Perceptive just assured me it was a bunch of dead-beat Mexicans who caused the breakdown but according to you, it's paperwork, regulations, student loans, R&D (LMFAO again, R&D for sure, but how much of that R&D is for commercial rivals trying to find loopholes in each others' patents?) misuse of ERs by hypochondriacs and malingerers, etc.  Don't buy it, sirs - - the malingerers and hypochondriacs can be triaged and put on hold, the paperwork is largely automated, computerized and performed by intake personnel with community-college qualification or less, the R&D costs are largely bullshit and (except for legitimate ground-breaking research) ought to be discouraged, not rewarded with tax breaks.

The cost of the Iraq war to date [http://www.nationalpriorities.org/Cost-of-War/Cost-of-War-3.html] is $456 Billion.  Let's see, doctors need to overcharge patients because they owe hundreds of thousands of bucks in student loans?  Gee, suppose you give 1,000 doctors in each state $300K to pay off the student loans.  I did the math, it's only $15 billion.  Less than 3.3 per cent of the war's cost to date.  Really just a priorities question isn't it?  "Freedom" (LMFAO) for Iraqis or health for American kids.  Shows ya where your "President's" family values are, eh?  Especially if it's not really freedom but oil.

<<HA HA.... we will just go to war and get more... >>

Yeah with what troops?  Your whole army is tied up fighting a bunch of rebels in Iraq and getting its ass kicked bloody into the bargain. 

<<also don't forget we are dumping corn because we have so much ethanol the distributors can't keep up... >>

then you don't need any oil from us OR from Iraq and 4000 Americans just died for nothing.  My condolences.

<<and you may be rich but you will be still freezing your ass off in that overtaxed pile of cold rock.>>

You might be interested to know that the temperature here today in this pile of cold rock called Toronto (which happens to have about 70 live-theatre venues, over 60 of them English-language, the third largest live-theatre city in the English-speaking world) was 20 degrees Celsius or 68 Fahrenheit, and last week 30 Celsius (86 Fahrenheit.)  Thanks to the actions of your moronic "President" on global warming, or perhaps I should have said his inaction, Toronto is set to become the new Miami, and Miami is set to become the new Palancar Reef.

lol indeed

lol
lol... yep I understand about your 'culture' in Canada but let's not pretend that we all don't understand that the lion's share of CANADA is nothing but cold crumby frozen tundra... and I certainly understand about Toronto been there done that often ( you forget that I am originally from Detroit... but becoming the new Miami... lol... I can just picture it now... a bunch of tight ass canucks cruising up and down the ???? in their cigarette boats....not.  Regarding the going to war for oil... it was just a liberal hook thrown with tongue in cheek.

Apparently you haven't heard...... it's BOTH.  And of course you're not going to because it doesn't fit the socialist playbook of how Government run everything is all good and Private run everything is all bad

You're the ones who are dumb enough to fight for a pile of frozen rocks and tundra.  We're not.  Don't forget when you get it, it's yours.  You're the ones who have to guard it against the Russians and the Chinese, you're the ones who have to pump out the oil from the tar sands.  And all the time you're freezing your asses off doing it, we're going to be down in Florida laughing at you and buying up all the best condos with our dollar-for-dollar currency.  Or better yet in Havana drinking rum and Coke and taking in the show at the Tropicana.  Glad that you guys don't have a clue and hoping like hell you never get one.'

Forgot you were from Detroit.  I spent some of my best teenage years sucking back milkshakes on Dexter Boulevard at the Eagle Dairy and listening to rhythm 'n blues groups like Otis Williams and the Charms that nobody in Toronto had ever heard of.  And never going home without boxes of Saunders Chocolates to sneak past the customs officers.  Used to love that city.  Loved Metropolitan Beach too and Bob-Lo Island.  After the riots the whole thing turned to shit.

I said used to be..... (yes it turned to shit- thank you Coleman Young.  We did get  a good black mayor, Archer but the ghetto rats drove him off...now we have Kwnammi or something like that.) 

but now I am in Florida and a much better place than Miami.  Love it here
