that is concern, that is similar amount given to Bush for the prescription benefit he attached to Medicare without regard for the tax payer.

The knuckle draggers I run with would call passing money like this out a "bribe"

But we're too stupid to understand how politics work.

I wonder where they get these cases from, my sister in law complained of chest pains, her children took her to the hospital - I assume Brampton near Toronto, they examined her and the next day installed a pace maker. So where is the real situation? I know the provinces have been trying to get the federal government to provide all the money - usual deal with politicians, make the other guy do all the unpopular taxes.

Frex, I keep hearing about Canadians who come down here for treatment. So, until very recently the $CDN was about $0.72. Our hospitals and doctors are the world's most expensive. (They also manage to kill nearly 100,000 people a year with mistakes). How in heck can Canadians afford to come here. Even our own people are flying to New Zealand for hip replacement.

Something smells very fishy, and it ain't cod.
