to most Europeans.

is a little bit like watching baboons fling poo...

as a desire to destroy the country, it makes perfect sense.

this country and agree with you. Anything that breaks the government up or makes it look like a failure in the eyes of the people is their policy.

If I could ask Putin any question I would ask "Who was Dick Armey's Case Officer?"

where he takes your tax money and gives it to the insurance co. so they can continue to make enormous profits without seeming to cold hearted (pre-existing conditions etc.) the Canadian and Euro systems have the government(people) run them without profit so it is very hard to see why the insurance companies and right wing nut cases could be upset by anything in the plan Maybe like most canadians the germans think it is real health reform

...and different from many other country's plans. Lots of different ways to fix the problem, and lots of them work very well.

how predatory the health insurance executives in America truly are

instead of a give-away to big insurance and big pharma.

I don't think they have clue how dysfunctional our healthcare system is, and how the mandatory stuff is just bandaid fix, IF that

.... health care system have been lying to the American people. Hell, some people are still
mad @ FDR for social security and go along with the lie that it is going broke and
that it adds to the national debt so why not let those good old boys of Wall Street
play with the trillions of dollars in the trust fund.

who allowed the Holocaust to happen under their very noses. And I can't fathom the German religious leaders who did not speak out against it. I read about one church that was near the railway line to the death camps, and simply had the congregation sing a little louder to drown out the screams of the doomed Jews.

and killed beside them. Fear is a real silencer when it comes to that type of situation. After a few are killed it is much harder to stand up. That is why they did it but it is still not an excuse. I had a teacher from Germany who was 9 years old when Hitler was in control - he told us that he was as guilty as any other because he did not speak up. At the age of 16 he escaped over the wall from East Germany. He was ready to speak up at that age.

9 in 1945 (the last year Hitler was in power).
16 in 1961 (when construction began on the Berlin wall).

since he was my teacher - 1970s.

we can't either

completely predatory insurance system. While the insurance reform law is a baby step in the right direction, its numerous flaws and lack of universality make it an incredibly expensive bandaid at best and growing monster with the capability of destroying the whole health care system at worst.

"What's not to like?" they may wonder, way on the other side of the world.
Mandatory health insurance is a far cry from single payer.

It's ass-brained repukes, "prosperity-gospel", Angry-God pastors and congregants, and the corporate masters who are against it. Since they're the ones running rampant in the legislative bodies, it LOOKS like it's the US against it.


most Americans are for it. Aside from those afore mentioned ass-brains.

It's that simple
