We really need to stop using the "Canada's health care stinks" argument. For every anecdote you can find detailing a bad experience in Canada, you can find one here in America, stemming from insurance companies. Just as many people are denied treatment, or the treatment is delayed, because of insurance companies.
We can find plenty of horror stories right here in America. I'm a horror story. If I find a lump in my breast tomorrow, I will stay home. I have no health insurance, and don't have enough money to even begin to pay for the testing.
I don't know what the answer is, but we need to start arguing 'just the facts' and quit trying to use the argument that Canada's health care system stinks. Most of its residents don't think so.

Excellent post!!
Honest to goodness, I don't have the answer either, but I think the scare tactics and Canada argument are politically based, and way out of hand.
It's time to kick agenda to the curb and forget the 'party line', lay our distrust of Mr. Obama aside, and DO something beneficial for Americans everywhere!!
