what are you using for your successful socialized health care......i live near the Canadian border and Montana hospitals have lots of Canadians in them......if "free" socialized health care in Canada is so good why do they come to the US? some of my employees get free health care via the government because they are Indian...........they choose to opt into the health insurance we offer at the paper and PAY for it. i havent seen socialized health care really work in any country unless your willing to fork over over half your income in taxes to pay for it.....either way your paying big bucks for it....IIRC awhile back i saw a show on health care in one of the scandinavian countries.....government pays for everything......if the doc says your two stressed out and would benifit from a few days off in the sun down in the Mediteranian cause of the lack of sunlight that far north in the winter....the government sends you......this is all good but they are also paying something like 60-70% of their income in taxes. ive got friends up in Saskatchewan who tell me they pay around 50% of there income to taxes.................
