Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Obama is the guy who wants government controlled healthcare...just wait...just wait until you start seeing government controlled vaccinations! This man is not a democrat...he's a Marxist...just wait until you have to wait a year for a surgical procedure or for cancer treatment like our socialized medicine friends in Canada and Sweden. I have a friend in Sweden who needed a simple hip replacement and had to wait over a year, trapped in a wheelchair for that time until his name came to the top of the list...

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 ALL these politicians are LYING through their TEETHS to get your vote!!! No one will stick with what they said - they NEVER have! They are all controlled by the super rich elite and could care less about any of us! Obama has yet to PROVE he was born in the USA. He is being sued for proof (as there evidence that he was born in Kenya) but is trying to postpone this lawsuit until after the elections. That would disqualify him from even running. Perhaps the truth will be revealed... There are questions if Palin really gave birth to the down syndrome baby or is it her daughters'. Pictures of her back in March (where she should be 7 months pregnant) show her looking " non-prenant " (and this is after having 5 children), yet her daughter has a baby bulge. Perhaps the truth will be revealed... I think the bigger issue is Codex Alimentarius which WILL dictate how we can care for ourself and our children. What are each candidates' view on this???

You mean freedom for the rich, don't you? Or is this a buzz word you don't really understand? Because you obviously have no idea what Marxist theory is about and you are using it to scaremonger. Shame on you! I live in Canada and the system here works just fine, on average. Again with the scare tactics bringing up the ever-scary cancer! Life-threatening illnesses are treated VERY promptly. There are problems that can be worked out of the system easily if they are implemented at the beginning. The entire American population over 65 wants government controlled healthcare. They already have it. It's called Medicare. And it works. VERY well. And for every person " trapped " (scare tactic) in a wheelchair for a year in Sweden, there are DOZENS of uninsured children in the US who will die earlier that they should in life because the system is broken. Stop, think, and weed through the manipulative rhetoric that abounds out there.

Perhaps the truth will be revealed... Wow. I thought this myth had died down pretty early in the campaign... Truth schmooth. Congress first recognized the citizenship of children born to U.S. parents overseas on March 26, 1790, under the first naturalization law: " And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or outside the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens. " 1790, folks, and you're STILL talking about it? Obama is a natural-born citizen of the US, and thus can be is president. For that matter, McCain was born in the Panama Canal zone and had to be retroactively declared a citizen. You don't see anyone suing for that, because he is white. -- Ralph Nader on the need for moral courage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 , Glad the Canadian system worked for you. We have many relatives in Canada, and have actually run drugs across the border because they couldn't get what they needed under the Canadian system. We'd secure them here or in Mexico and then bring them over. My uncle is alive today because my father was creative about how to get medicine to him when the Canadian system would have let him die from his cancer. I've seen it, and am not impressed. There are also many children in that figure of " uninsured " because parents want them there. Not because parents can't afford the health insurance and want government to take over. No one in our family accepts insurance, even if free, since it is part of the problem. We pay out of pocket, and get some mighty big breaks on fees for paying cash. I wouldn't believe all the numbers you hear from the media about what we Americans want. It is often a bit skewed. P.

This man is not a democrat...he's a > Marxist...just wait until you have to wait a year for a surgical procedure or for cancer > treatment like our socialized medicine friends in Canada and Sweden. Actually, I don't see what the worry is about here. I'm presuming that if you don't have to wait for surgery today, it means you have money and/or a good insurance policy that will pay for your surgery. *If* the US were to ever have state-subsidized healthcare, it would be a two-tiered system, one that would maintain the current private practices and also generalize a whole range of services for those in need. I don't see how anyone can argue that giving lower income families access to healthcare is anything but a good thing. The healthcare system in Canada is a one-tier universal healthcare system so it doesn't allow patients to get fast-tracked services through private clinics. There are better comparison models out there, like the one in France, which is pretty enviable. talked a lot about it in Sicko. The perversions in medicine aren't limited to state-funding as we all know. I read recently that there is a trend in the US to outsource the patient! Insurance companies are trying to cut their costs of healthcare services by enticing patients to get surgery done overseas. So it's not just those waiting in the long queues of certain state-funded healthcare nations that have to fly elsewhere for needed surgery. The thing about the US is that you can always count on the bottom line and business to drive political decisions. Naom Chomsky has said that that the US healthcare system is more costly than more socialized models abroad. He's also said in interviews that the US population has wanted national healthcare for decades, but that the only reason that it's now talked about by Obama & Clinton is because major players in manufacturing (notably GE) are complaining of higher manufacturing costs in the US than in Canada because of higher healthcare costs. The majority of US citizens have wanted national healthcare for decades but it's interesting that no one is really analysing the fact that it's being proposed now because business desires are driving it. Chomsky's interview is here & he talks about healthcare: He also says vote for Obama but without illusions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 We have to fill in exemption forms when the child attends a publicly funded preschool or public educational institute. We are in Ontario. I went to the health unit and got the exemption forms, had them commisioned at city hall and handed them back into the health unit. Easy. But if you don't fill in the forms then they harrass you with standard letters about suspending your child from school. michellebondy wrote: > It does depend what province you're in.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I hope you don't think I'm a fan because I'm not. The original poster did have a good idea which was for us to contact Obama (because he is in the lead) and put " vaccine " in the subject line, which I think would be enough to at least make our presence known. If I could vote, which I cannot because I don't have a WA ID card/drivers license yet - recently moved here (yes, I know it's a crock) I would vote for McCain. I have been following him since 2003 and his views close to my own. I don't think it matters much who we vote for, the good 'ole boys are going to do whatever they want. I do think it's important for the people to have a loud, strong voice on what they believe in. > > > > > > There have been several posts about Obama and McCain's positions on > > > vaccine safety.
