I think that Sadly No! piece nicely sums up the Clown Hall formula — not to mention about 96% of the Bloggin’ Tories. (And yes, I just made up that number…)

Jillian Bandes? The same Jillian Bandes who demanded that all Arabs be strip- and cavity-searched at airports? I love her hair. What year is this? 1978?

I agree our healthcare system may not be prefect but I’m very grateful that we have it. My father had to have an emergency operation and he got it the same day he went into the ER. We were not asked for money going in or eight days later when he came out of hospital. Can you just imagine how much it would have cost under the american system for an eight day stay in hospital. I know we pay for our
health care with our taxes but I am happy to pay them knowing that if and when we
need medical care we get it.

quite simply, there is no greater wait time than refusal of care. the canadian medical system is by no means perfect but i’d be bankrupt and crippled if we lived under the american system.

i like the look on the wingnut’s face when hamsher tells her she doesn’t know what she’s talking about. it is made especially lovely when she starts pulling numbers out of her butt, my fave, ten million of those are illegal immigrants. bring us your huddled masses indeed.
