"We Don't Need Any Grounds" - "We Are the United States"
While all the hubbub continues regarding Arizona's recent passing of an anti-illegal immigration bill for its southern borders, the morons guarding our Northern border with Canada harass innocent Canadian citizens. The UGLY American rears its ugly head:

A Canadian Message to America About Healthcare
Canadian Doctors for Medicare hosted a celebration of Medicare in Canada. The speakers included Roy Romanow, former Saskatchewan Premiere and Commissioner on Health Care in Canada. They tell Americans that Canadian universal health care works and encourage Americans to implement a single payer universal health care system. The video also features Dr. Steven Lewis a health policy and research consultant, Dr. Danielle Martin, Dr. Ryan Meili and Dr. Robert Woolard representing the Canadian Doctors for Medicare and Linda Silas President of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions.

Contrary to GOP Lies - Canadians Love Their Healthcare
.jpg)
O Canada
Online polls conducted by Ipsos/McClatchy surveyed 1,004 U.S. adults July 9-14 and 1,010 Canadians on June 5-7. They aren't scientific random samples, don't statistically mirror the population and thus have no margin of error. Rather, they resemble large focus groups to help see what people are thinking about a particular issue.
On key questions of care and costs, patients in the two countries clearly see things differently.
65% of Canadians said they had access to all the health care services they needed at costs they could afford; 49% of Americans felt the same way.
That difference probably reflects the costs of health care: Patients pay nothing at doctors' offices in Canada.
It also helps explain the fact that Americans see health care differently based on their incomes, while Canadians see it roughly the same regardless of what they earn.
Just 37% of Americans who make less than $50,000 a year say they have access to and can afford all the health care services they need, while 60% of those who make more say they can get all they need at costs they can afford.
The gap was much smaller in Canada, where 61% of those who earn less than $55,000 and 70% of those who make more than that said they had access to all the care they needed at costs they could afford.
In both countries, people with chronic conditions are more likely than those without such illnesses to say that they have access to the care they need.
