Old Blue Lady? Murkier and murkier.
Is this why she is now straightening her hair?

Some Americans may well cross the border to pick up prescription meds, certain drugs are cheaper in Canada than in the US. However, the waiting list for more involved healthcare in Canada (such as MRI scans) is comparable to the UK, so Canucks head south to pay for immediate attention. Where have I heard this? I've seen it, having lived in both Canada and the US.
You mention basic services being offered in American emergency rooms to the uninsured - do we provide anything better in this country? When a four hour wait time is the target, something is very wrong.
It's a naive and ill-informed judgement to think that only the rich have insurance and receive decent healthcare in the US. Many states have free insurance which is available to those with low incomes. Many younger people simply choose not to have insurance as they feel they are healthy and don't need it. We can question the wisdom of their choice, but I don't question the wisdom of letting them have a choice.
An intrestiung point on Canda health care system , as a good few guys i used to work with stated that as one of teh reasons they moved there rather then the States . An another intrestiong thing to pounder is are the Candanians as a whole more healter then the Yanks so per capita may use less health care ???

Fundamentally, my issue is that for such a wealthy, intelligent and simply awesome country as the US, their population should be much more healthy, and live for much longer than they currently do (and in relation to what they currently spend on HC).
I would take Palin over Obama any day of the week.
Seriously? She was bonkers. We'd be at war with China by now if she'd got her beautifully manicured mitts on the keys to the White House.
Most people move to Canada rather than the US because it's a lot easier to get in. Something for you to pounder.
How was she bonkers? Palin is pro-gun, pro-life and in favour of free markets. She's the only one who isn't bonkers as far as I can see.
Fitting up people who wronged her and hers?

We'll have to disagree about the whole 'pro-gun' thing!
And the pro-life thing.
Yes, I couldn't agree more. Women should be able to choose to flush their unborn kids down the bog for the sake of convenience.
I await the rape/incest argument with baited breath.........
I find it hard to be objective about A&E services in British hospitals after having to wait 6 hours to be seen after being ambulanced in after a road accident. My mangled Vespa got better care than I did.
Blimey, when was that Rusty ?
I would take Palin over Obama any day of the week. And my guess is that the American people will agree with me in 2012. I'd even take Hilary over Obama. Sometimes it takes a woman to show some balls - never heard of Mrs Thatcher?
Why, what events has she entered?
December 1998, maybe things have improved?
