P4B i dont think the six figure crowd is immune to sin taxes unless your a saint a pack of COLTS with 5 or 6 cigars costs around 7 bucks a bottle of cheap wine is 11-15 bucks a bottle of Crown Royal 40 ouncer is 35-40 bucks a pack of smokes is 12 bucks soo yeah most of what we pay for those things is taxes.But i think the government should be responsible for health care i find it funny how those that are opposed to universal health care talk about the Canadian model and how fucked up it is BUT there are other countries who have universal health care and do it rather well.Look at Japans model look at Germanies model both have great health care,France is another country.So dont diss universal health care because it can work in your country as well you just have to find the right model.I really dont care that i have high sin taxes because i can see my family doctor anytime for anything and i dont get a bill,i can go to the emergency room in any hospital and get treated and i dont have to take out my credit card.Yes we have long waiting lists for surgery but the government is trying to address it,its not perfect but what is?

Question about Nationalized Universal Healthcare There was recently a very lively debate about the different healthcare plans of the two candidates in the Obama and McCain "change" poll threads. And after thinking so much about healthcare policy, I had a question I would like to pose to the canncom community: Why aren't corporate interests the ones pushing hardest for nationalized healthcare? In the US, about 60% of Americans get healthcare insurance through their employers, with the company picking up a large part of the cost. A Rating: 5
