Children are so wide eyed and hopeful when they are young, in fact so was I at that age. I hope we can all recapture some of that optimism and hope.

Nichelle told at a womens club Obama was born out of wedlock. Is she lying or is barry lying in his book. I know the part his father was a sheep herder was a lie and how could he have dreams of his father when he didn:t even know him? Does he ever tell the truth?
I haven:t heard any yet.

Comment on The Myth of Canadian Health Care Wait Times by W Edwards

At face value, your assessment of waiting times in Canada based on one single procedure is highly simplistic. Radiation is not scheduled until multiple other specialists are consulted and at least a CT scan is perfomed to let the radiation oncologist know WHERE to aim the radiation. Even more effective would be a PET Scan in helping that radiation oncologist make the most effective treatment plan. The radiation therapy is scheduled AFTER the specialists, diagnostic tests and staging. NOW add up all of these wait times. I have esophageal cancer stage II, in Canada, the accumulation of wait times would amount to a death sentence. In the US, under our present (8/2009) health care system, I may live to see my cancer cured. I would not have that hope or even possibility in the Canadian system.

To add, consult the same site you cite. Wait times for other potentially life saving procedures are much longer than in the US.

I don’t plan on moving anytime soon. I plan on doing what I’ve been doing for the last 30 years – staying here and working to make my country live up to the reputation it wants in the world. Did you miss the part where we ARE waiting at least as long, and sometimes longer, for our health care here in the U.S.?

I love this country more than you could possibly know. I believe in this country and the standards on which it was actually founded. I believe in a country that was not a “shining light on a hill” for other countries to worship, but a lantern held up in the darkness to help light the way.

Okay first of all looking at the latest statistics cataracts was lower than 75% in 4 of the 10 provinces. Secondly, 75% is a low benchmark! What if you were one of the 25% and had to wait longer than 16 weeks?! In those four months, if the surgery was crucial it could be done in maybe 2 weeks somewhere in the states because health care isn’t nationalized. If you like Canada’s system so much then move there and don’t come back.
