That's where this is headed.. we've gone from "we need a change".. to "don't touch that dial" Is It possible for those of you that are so opposed to any reform to suggest what you would do as an alternative ?

Canada and the UK pay 60% of their income for healthcare??? Where did you pull that figure from..... it is NOT true. I have family and friends that live in Canada, the Netherlands, and Ireland.. and friends in Sweden.. this is such a lie. Their taxes are close to the SAME as ours! You can even go online and look at the amounts, in Canada it is 20-30% depending on what you make, just like OURS! Ours is typically 20-40% depending on your income. I am amazed at people who spout those numbers when they are not based on fact. Here is a link to the average tax rates around the world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_rates_a… Their taxes are only at the higher end when their incomes are very high- meaning over $500,000. For the average person it is on the low end, and in a lot of cases it is actually lower then ours. Rumours have been spread from the conservatives and insurance companies,etc. who don't want you to know how much better health care is in other countries. Before stating something like this, why don't you travel to other developed countries, get to know the local people and find out the truth.
