With all respect, Bro. my understanding is that Canada's health system is terrible:
Long waits for simple procedures
Drs. who quit for the year when the money (subsidies) run out
I am appalled when I read stories of the unrelieved suffering of Americans who are not fortunate enough to have adequate medical coverage.
Basic health care is a fundamental human right. How can the richest nation on earth consider itself a Christian nation when hardworking Americans are denied relief of their suffering?
The United States is not a Christian nation. It's a Constitutional Republic. Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the government will provide health care.
The American for-profit health care system was spawned in greedy capitalist hearts - the love of Christ constrains men to care for the suffering, not to profit from their pain.
The main problem with our health care system, as I see, it is the legal issue. It costs a lot to insure against a lawsuit.
If President Bush has received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, the suffering members of this forum, who are denied the dignity that more well-to-do Americans offer their pets, will be the first to know about it.
I think if Pres. Bush has received the Holy Ghost, he could donate his oil profits to the needy and if others "receive the Holy Ghost" they would also act like true Christians and give to those in need.
Then we wouldn't NEED the government to "take care" of us.
