Excuse making only goes so far ... FACT: the US is the only 1st world nation without a comprehensive solution (good or bad) that insures all of it's citizens.

If Europe is so great why can't they solve terrorism? Hell just last year there were riots and death threats about a danish cartoon.

I'm not agreeing with this, I'm just stating that it is the underlying (unspoken) rationale.

Understood.

Terrorism is a global problem that will require global solutions ... who will lead the way -the US? Unfortunately American foriegn policy has failed and Americans have proven to be anything but a leader.

We do have solution. We don't have what Canada has for a variety reasons that communists like you fail to understand. If you live in the US you can get health care if you need it (EMTALA). Every hospital gives substantial amounts of charity care each year. Not to mention Medicaid (for our poorest citizens). Not to mention the hundreds of other government and private charity programs out there.

Trust me, as a canadian you don't want the US to go to National Health Insurance. You don't want the US government to start regulating prices because that will directly affect the prices in Canada.

Is Canada going to lead us? How about Denmark the happiest place on earth? Maybe Sweden?

What solution ... the wealthy placated with access to health insurance put their heads in the sand while millions go without insurance hoping and praying on the charity of health care professionals to provide care free of charge?

let's see ... Canada recenly has been leading the way, pleading with NATO et al to continue support for anti-terror efforts in Afghanistan! By the way four more Canadian soldiers were wounded in Afghanistan yesterday.
