Unfortunately the Conservatives in Canada are doing their very best to do away with public health care. What they're doing is very much like the States where corporations find ways to not pay health claims and the rich are the only ones able to pay/recieve healthcare. Harper just signed a bill giving German perscription manufacturers more money while agreeing to not allow generic drugs to come out for 5 years, up from 3. We already have drug shortages which drive up prices, they could have written legislation requiring drug companies to inform when stock piles are low but they are working on getting their next votes in, hurting future Canadian healthcare (similar to what Bush did when he was in).
Romney is trying to sell to the rest of Americans that there's too much government 'interference' in people's lives, too costly etc. What the poorly educated (and lower income levels) believe this means is that they will cut gov't positions and cut the costs, saving money for taxpayers. What it actually means is they are going to cut basic social systems that catch and provide for people on the starvation/ desperation/ poverty line, including children, while they refuse to tax the rich. He has no plan to provide incentives for cororations to keep jobs in the USA even though he brags about the 12million he'll create if he's president. That 12million stat, btw, is there *regardless* of whomever becomes president. He's using this to pacify his silly followers. It was put out as a prediction of the jobs to be created in the next uear anyway (duh-look it up!) This is why Obama rightly states Romney's plan doesn't add up, they HAVE to start taxing the rich if they want to not be the next country to declare bankruptcy.
What my oh and i found hilarious is that Romney stayed that people vote for a peaceful president. Then he starts talking about how the USA has less boats then back in 1800 (or whatever his dumb numbers were). He can't stick to one story and puts out all sorts of garbage statements ( he sounds like the drunk highschool flunky that Bush did).
Romney clearly has his head up his arse and Harper in Canada is just another greedy corporatist giving away the rights and freedoms in his 'omnibus' style legislation (railroading like Bush did-think about all the corporatist laws Bush passed while American's were preoccupied with 911). There's a new movement in my city called 'anything but conservative'. To stategically get the left party voted in in each riding. The most likely left party to win, doesn't matter which one. So to stop the Conservatives from destroying the rest of what we have left and sink to the level that the Americans are at (in healthcare, national debt etc). Obama will win, unless Romney, like Bush, cheats.
Whit.
SOCIALISTS! RUN!
