Nice removal of context, pretty much expect that from ya though

You own a business, as a business owner you SHOULD BE CONCERNED about your employees. You obviously aren't. Congratz! Hope they love ya for that

As the person working for you, if you will not provide me coverage through your company at a VASTLY cheaper rate than buying it myself, it is my responsibility to cover myself. Understand now? Probabaly not Probably still upset the guy from Canada agreed with my last link as that is generally your Michael Moore wheelhouse of why the US sucks

Hey now. He had to pull that from nearly 40 (1971) years ago, that is a skill!!!! I'm actually surprised it wasn't a wiki page or some other 40 paragraph ramble Remember, if you talk long enough and read only what you want..you can believe anything. He is a business owner that doesn't give crap one about his companies benefits or his people. Yet shocked that Insurance companies want to make money, isn't that what he is doing by avoiding offering insurance through his company If I dropped my employees coverage I'd keep nearly $25,000 a month...but I have this thing where I actually want their lives to be covered as best I can since they are working for me Call me crazy but I think I define his view of a "utopian socialist person who cares about others yet still gives my 100%" than he is.

Blinders...fully attached.

It's eric what do you expect from someone as blind and self centered as him. I find it shameful he won't provide benefits. It speaks volumes about the kind of person he is that he can't cough up a Premier membership yet hogs our website with useless posts showing his total lack of intelligence AND can't pay for his companies health benefits, it's really pathetic.

While you may not agree with Eric (and I don't agree with many items he has posted), I don't think that this is a respectful post, and I think we can do better as a community. Basic respect for differing opinions would be a good start.

You shouldn't be too surprised that I agreed with many of the points in your link. It was written by a Canadian, from Canada, about the Canadian health care system, for an American audience, solely to debunk myths that many Americans believe about our health care system. God knows there are enough misconceptions out there to more than fill a ten point list

My support for universal health care coverage doesn't come with blinders that suggest everything is perfect in our current system, far from it. That doesn't mean I would discard it, given the choice.

Guy from Canada - the blinders comment was for my boy E-town

I don't think many American's believe the myths..however Michael Moore and a few others who think the USA's systems sucks sewer water.....do. Anytime they are presented with facts going the other way from the people that live there or..um..DOCTORS..they tend to switch the question around/rephrase/redirect/ignore.

I don't understand why are we criticizing or comparing to Canada's health care system? to make us feel better about our own??

Give it a rest...our country will never match the likes of France and other top 'health care' providing countries...so why argue and insult each other over it

kids...

I've never heard of someone getting real sick and rushing off to France to be treated. The US health care system might be dysfunctional but if you can afford the care it is the best the world has to offer.

I guess depending on what you are diagnosed with...other than that you are giving too much credit..
