Where will Canada send its preemies and other critical patients when we adopt their health care system?

Hmmm... I like your thinking AJ. It is very right indeed. Socialism would mean a reduced population. Then the Chinese would invade us.

Or Swedish.

That's right... because Socialists eat babies and kill the unborn.

No, but they do let them die. That's what happens when keeping costs low becomes more important than actually delivering care. Introduce a government beancounter into life and death decisions and many will die.

Yes, because we all know that the private health insurance industry in the US doesn't employ any beancounters and that keeping cost low is never more important to them than delivering care. It was important that you pointed this out because there are too many in this country that believe that for the health insurance companies, delivering care comes in a distant second to making profits. This horrible misconception actually exists and is spreading. Like a cancer.

Health insurance companies are the only thing stands between John and Jane America and the evil tyranny of the Federal Government. They are our allies, not our enemies.

What happens if you have crappy insurance in the US, and you give birth to a premie who needs icu for X number of days, weeks, and the hospital bill is so exorbitant because of some insurance loophole that you can't pay for it all? What happens then?

In denying your claim, many private health insurers are actually keeping you healthy.

That's why the Socialists eat babies- so they can't be denied the coverage they'd pay later in life to an profiteering insurer.

Well, with that kind of allies, we surely don't need any enemies.

The baby ends up developing stronger. Not weak like Socialist babies that are not eaten by the government.

Can you just not pay the bill? Surely there are people who just don't pay the bill?

The parent is responsible for providing insurance to the child. In insurance, as in all things, you get what you pay for. Not all policies are the same. If you, as the parent, picked a policy that ended up killing or harming your child, the law should hold you responsible for neglect.

You file for bankruptcy. It's the American way!

Those are Socialist wannabes. Coward, lazy bums that know they should... but are too comfortable to want to do it because they are Socialists.
