CompromiseCare (TM)

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

As sad as it is, I thought this hits the nail right on the head.

Senate Unveils CompromiseCare

My cousins by marriage are named Lieberman. Do you think I can opt for the "distant relative of a Lieberman" exemption?

My parents live in Canada (I grew up there).

My mom had an MRI on her foot in Sept after it became inflamed and she was unable to walk on it. Waiting time: about 4 days. She was then scheduled for surgery followed by 6 week recuperation at a physical therapy center. It's now flared up again, and she's looking at further surgery after New years.

MRI, doctor consultations, hospitalization, surgeries - all occurring on a timely basis in accordance with her condition (serious, but not life threatening). Cost: entirely covered by OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Program), a government run single payer system.

Better to have the scan in the immediate future than to never have it because you can't afford it. Senate health care plan is a joke, a complete sell out to the Pharmaceutical and Health Insurance industries. What about the American people Senators or are you so far up the backside of the corporations you can't see past your own bank balance?

Horrible. What about choice? Americans love the ability to choose more than the ability to receive affordable, quality care.

• You get to choose which doctor you cannot afford to see.
• You'll be free to choose between medications and heating fuel.

polling canadians who are not sick on health care, the poll turns out pretty good.

polling canadians who are sick on health care and it is an entirely different result.
