I thought I left the willing slaves behind in the Soviet Union.

how can he be a current leader when he's dead?

We didn't stop following the Constitution when all its authors passed.

We also read the constitution. You also made claims that no one read Marx's work

You must've failed reading comprehension in school

epic liberal-destroying argument B) B) B)

You definitely failed reading, because I said "most socialists never … read his work". That's different than saying that no has, especially since I DID read it.

Yup, because I misread a comment, the person who posted it now has access to my school records.

Damn hackers and their snooping skillz.

Sam Elliot is a moderate left who believes in the parties working together, not a staunch right wing boomer who makes fun of socialists. And don't give me the "his voice sounds nice to read in" argument. He makes a terrible source of memes for the type that gets popular on IMGflip.

also if we're clearing up imgflip community faux pas, Chuck Norris is not the reason dinosaurs are extinct

Kyle and Chuck Norris memes were made memes because of their origins and what they meant a long time ago, not because their voices were nice-sounding.

lol, yep

I've actually had an idiot try to tell me that the country I'm from and he never been to was a "worker's paradise" and I only didn't realize it because of "propaganda".

Yeah, Canada, Norway, Denmark et al are falling apart at the seems. F**k socialism.

Not really good examples of socialism, since they have the same private property laws and free enterprise as we do, mixed with public utilities just like us. Probably the only main difference is the universal healthcare, which is why people who need care and can afford it travel to US for it.

I don't know where you get your info about Canadians travelling to US for healthcare, I'm guessing tRump, a reliable knowlegable source on the subject no doubt, but as there is no actual numbers available, a Canadian think tank on the subject puts it at less than .15% on a population of 35 million. Anybody who has extreme dire needs for medical attention are taken care of asap, myself included. If anyone travell south , usually its for a CT scan or MRI but I have never known of any story of anybody travelling for healthcare. I did go to MAYO clinic in Rochester Mn in '86, only because I had a rare disease, but my government paid for it. Now there are 3 doctors in Canada that can deal with said disease. It's not a perfect system, but nobody goes broke for care or needlesly dies for lack of care. Thank you Tommy Douglas. Kirk Douglas' brother or uncle, can't remember.

My parents host members of 3 Canadian families who routinely come for treatment in the US. Most of them would be dead by now if they waited for Canada to treat them. They stay at my parents' house so they can at least save money on lodging. Everyone of course loves Canadian healthcare until they really get sick, like you did in '86. It is great for the sniffles and broken fingers, but seriously ill patients need care that they can't get anywhere else in the world - except for maybe Israel.

My Grandparents were getting treatments in the 70s and 80s that would have been denied to them - because of their age and condition - in Canada. I know this for a fact because I described their procedures to Canadian doctors. The only reason they have not only lived, but remained self-sufficient and productive into their 90s is the American healthcare system.

A perfect system does not exist, but no one can deny that US has the best quality care. I'm not claiming that it is cheaper, but none of those systems can provide this kind of quality at any cost.

Hmmmmmmm. We gotta agree to disagree, cancer, heart disease, MS, Lukemia, we do have some pretty great healthcare when it comes to serious illness, I now go to Mazankowski cardio vascular clinic in Edmonton alta, and our childrens hospitals are bang on for serious childhood diseases, which they didn't have in the 80's as to why I went to Mn. What does clog up the system is dummys going for sniffles and sore throats, which is why they now have non urgent care facilities, beurocracy and over management is not helping either. Shortage of nursing staff, brain drain of doctors going elsewhere. Sports clinics are good places for spreins, knees and limbs and fantastic rehab theorapy. My mother just got her clean bill on two cancers after a year and a half battle , so you're gonna be pretty f**kin hard pressed to convince me and millions other that our system does not rock. If people absolutely need it, they'll get it, no hmos, spotty health insurance, pre existing bullshit.

I actually have little to disagree with on your last post. You mention a lot of the problems your system has, and I in turn don't deny that your system also has the ability to help.

On our end, the issue with HMOs and PPOs, those are issues brought in by the States - by the social part of our healthcare. Obamacare and the proposals for universal healthcare propose more of that, not less.

Best of health to you Sew. And very glad to hear of your Mother's kicking cancer's ass!

Thanx man. I sure hope you guys get shit figured out, we got nothing if we don't have our health. It should be a bipartisan issue that both sides can and shoupd work together and figure out. Don't get sick, or maybe mary a Canadian chick.

Lmao off at anyone that doesn’t live here calling our president names and expecting anybody to give two shits about your opinion

“I don't know where you get your info about Canadians travelling to US for healthcare”
I get it from Canadians!

No. Here it's a national story we deal with about mismanagement, oversight and beurocracy, you guys use it as propaganda to refute a system we've bin using since the 50's. Face it, you have a flawed system that that tries to deny healthcare like an insurance company , hmos n pre existing bullshit. Here every body is quaranteed healthcare no matter what. Garanteed.
Also, how do you spell garanteed, gauranteed, gairantede, gaterade, guarnteed, quarantined. F**k you.

The Canadian healthcare system is great for the unemployed who have time to spend half the day in a doctor’s office waiting room for that guaranteed care. If they need special care they often go to the US where they can get the care they need, even if they have to pay for it out of pocket.
This is what a working class Canadian told me a few years ago. Not propaganda, just a Canadian sharing her personal experience and experience of other Canadians she knows.

That is complete bullshit. Total and complete bullshit. We have some of the finest research facilities and hospital care and nobody goes without. Whoever told you that is dead wrong. I think the most expensive was my buddy paid 35$ for a private room for his wife having a baby. How much in US to have a baby? So whatever you think is dead f**king wrong. Me 6 stitches in my head my ladt fall, in n out 2 hrs. back to work, no charge. No hmos, no preexisting bullshit. Dead f**king wrong.

Your obscenity laced comments make me believe the first person over you all the more. If your healthcare system is so great, why are you so triggered trying to defend it?
Other sources support what I hear from other Canadians.
“The most visible manifestation of Canada’s failing health care system are wait times for health care services. In 2013, Canadians, on average, faced a four and a half month wait for medically necessary treatment after referral by a general practitioner. This wait time is almost twice as long as it was in 1993 when national wait times were first measured.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2014/06/13/if-universal-health-care-is-the-goal-dont-copy-canada/#15c0d68178d5

Well you just don't know or care to understand, I and many live it and love it. Nobody is trying to or calling to repeal it, so that should tell you something. Nobody.

Yes, it tells me that Obamacare - the system that did away with preexisting conditions, HMOs, etc - was a bad idea since people are calling to repeal it..

Nobody is calling to repeal or replace our current healthcare system. Is it perfect?- no, could there be improvements?- yes. Has anybody ever paid a dime out of pocket?-no, again, has anyone ever called to repeal or replace? Good luck bud, don't get sick or pregnant, or cancer or heart disease or MS or strep throat or herpes even if you meet a girl.

Because Canada has less doctors. Less people.
