Where is the outrage?

He didn't get it because he didn't want it after the insurance companies got their checkbooks out.

What evidence do you have that the US government can create any social program that works? Give me an example of a well oiled machine created by the idiots in Washington.

The Canadians can't be happy about us going down the same path...then where will they go when the lines are too long or the treatment is denied?

I agree with Towermonkey. Once you have one child die like this you don't have another and then expect everyone else to pick up the check. Did the parents have no sense of responsibility?

The Supreme Court will have the opportunity to decide if we still live by and value our Constitution soon when they rule on the mandated, socialized health care. It may even determine whether this country has a second revolution.

Have they actually accepted a case?

I really the Supreme Court is going to decide if we have a second revolution. That will be the Tea Party, I'm guessing.

Tea party? Interesting, I think eric holder...

Of course, if we had a single-payer plan, like Medicare, the service would have been covered...

I'd like to see some proof, too, of the Canadian system being the model for ours... The Right has done nothing but scream about not allowing us become a "Canadian style system..."

It may have been covered. Obama's latest speech on Medicare would create an overall cost limit, like the one insurance comapnies used to have limiting them to one million dollars in lifetime costs. Medicare would have a similar limit, which I support. Ironic for Barack to support this now since Obamacare required private insurance companies to scrap their million dollar limits on medical care.

Proof of Obama wanting a single payer system like Canada? His old speeches as a US senator or Illinois senator. Personally I don't think he will get it, even if he wins in 2012.

Wanting "single-payer" is not an automatic "single-payer like Canada"... There are MANY single-payer system in the world, and I'm sure we can do it better than Canada... And frankly, I'm still unhappy that we don't have it.

I'm still waiting for a link to where he said he wanted "single-payer like Canada". Let me know when you find it.
