THIS is what Healthcare is all about ...

131. My deepest condolences to you Nance

Thankyou for this. It can't have been easy, even though writing comes so naturally for you.

We don't always agree, and thats ok. But this hits home. As a Canadian myself, I was so appalled and frustrated watching established American news networks like CNN simply ignoring Canada's system, or having on guests that demonized it while the debate was still going on. I just wanted my American friends, DUers and everyone else, to enjoy the comfort and non-stress of having a universal healthcare system too. I was waiting for the journalistic investigation, for some reporters to come up to our country and check it out and give a report, because I knew that that would be enough. I guess they also knew that would happen, thus not taking the trouble to travel up a few miles to visit their northern neighbour.

The only American that traveled up to check it out was Michael Moore who recorded it as part of his documentary, Sicko. So CNN had him on once....BUT...of course, had to have on an "expert" doctor in their own corporate toady Sanjay Gupta to counter Moore and argue how expensive and unworkable Single Payer would be for the US. It was absolutely disgusting watching it.

Anyways, I feel for you all. Keep up the fight. There is a hope, as long as Net Neutrality remains, that eventually the real information will leak through the American consciousness, and leapfrog over the corporate propaganda.
