No such thing as a free lunch, I think a better phase would be "at tax payers expense?"

Unless all your health professionals are working for no pay.

I've fallen a bit behind in my correspondence, and hope to start getting caught up this evening.

If you've mailed me and I haven't responded, I should be getting to it soon.

Don't worry about it, its not like you do anything to be missed anyways.

You guys have fucked up priorities down there. If you spent 2% of what you spend on your military on health care it would be free too.

Canada is the best. All we're missing is like a siesta during the day and for global warming to hurry the fuck up and it will be paradise.

But the war machine must continue. Obama really can't afford to have his unemployment rate go any higher.

Well, being Canadian explains a lot...

Just realized that sounds way worse than what I intended. Meaning I don't think vaccinating is as big up there as it is in the U.S.

Actually vaccination is very big up in Canada. All vaccines are free of charge, you just need to get your butt off the couch and go get them. Children, from the time they are babies, are vaccinated every 6 months (or whatever it is) for all the childhood illnesses, such as polio, measles, mumps and rubella, meningitis, etc. They are even given during the school years. Unfortunately it is the adults who don't keep following up with their vaccines.

Unfortunately you can't make adults keep up their vaccinations. For those whose who refuse to be vaccinated for whatever reason, are really only looking out for themselves, not the others around them who it could be very hazardous to their health, such as seniors, etc. One thing I can say, I don't make my adult sons get their shots for flu or anything. But since they know the impact of what could result from me getting sick, they freely go and get their shots to ensure that they won't pass on those bugs to other people.

Abortion is really big in Canada too.
