    <blockquote>The health insurance industry has indeed taken Big Tobacco's playbook and is expanding on it.</blockquote> Tobacco companies have done their best to misinform the public, but I can't remember their ever using tactics like these: http://www.seiu.org/2009/08/new-hampshire-tea-partiers-keep-it-classy.php

    I think tobacco industry did a lot of mistakes an half-illegal things in the past. Nevertheless every individual should decide to smoke or to smoke not. Government should not enclose personal freedom. Just my 5 cent. kind regards

    What a wonderful idea. I hope Ms. DeParle, Secretary Sebelius and even Pres. Obama take you up on this invitation. And then publicize the heck out of it. How could it not be an eye-opening thing for Americans to see what's going on in their own country?

    You are simply lieing. I was born at the hospital I can see from here 50 years ago. I have been to hospitals all over BC for a variety of ailments for which I am now considered legally disabled. Granted, several times I have become exasperated by the wait at the walk-in emergency entrance because I was in considerable pain, but I, and no-one I know has ever had to wait any time at all to receive critical care when it was needed. So unless your sister almost died of waiting for a badly needed face-lift and it was in fact her husband that was dieing due having to keep looking at her every morning for more months than should be expected of any human being, then unless you provide some details that are crackable, I must conclude that you are simply protesting socialized medicine out of some misguided ideological motive.
