Facts? Did you look at those sites? It's all subjective opinion and second hand stories. The only factual part is that these things happened but it's hardly sufficient to make any sort of judgement.

JBougie - I'm a little lost as to how you can be so opposed to a government run heathcare system when your father is living proof of its efficacy. Would I be incorrect to assume he is also on Medicare? What story would you be telling us today if not for the support of public monies and government services to provide for his well being? Given your own personal experiences I would have expected a bit more empathy and compassion towards the matter.

Do you hold a firm stance against any form of national healthcare or is it just that you just dislike the approach that is being taken?
