| They aren't losing money. The argument is that Americans cover both the fixed and variable costs whereas Canadians cover the variable costs. Once your fixed costs are covered, you generate cash flow if the variable revenues are greater than the variable costs. I don't know if it is true or not. I'm ... |

| Can anybody offer an intelligent rebuttal to this argument. "Americans are greedy idiots" is not an intelligent rebuttal BTW. Myth #2 The Canadian Drug Story Ah … one of the holy myths of the “US health care sucks” crowd. This should be fun. The general story is how you can buy many drugs ... |

| The party went on despite the death, the 15th since record keeping began in 1924. I am surprised there have been so little deaths... I was at the Running of the Bulls nearly 20 years ago. One person died then. But he didn't die because of a bull. He died because people were "mosh pitting"... |

| Most economists believe the U.S. doesn't need another round of stimulus now despite expectations of continued severe job losses. Just eight of 51 economists in The Wall Street Journal's latest forecasting survey said more stimulus is necessary, suggesting an average of about $600 billion in additio... |

National standardization is also a great idea that needs to be heard. We have the same problem with current federally funded, state administered progr... |

| Dear Canadian Friends, As many of you know, the President of the USA is trying to provide health care for all citizens. The opposition party is telling horror stories about Canadian health care, trying to prevent universal coverage. Many citizens are confused. They don't know what to believe. Our c... |

| I am bitching because Canadians have a massive inferiority complex to the Americans, and this is yet another example of it. Good Lord, there is so much good about Canada, you would think that a secure nation wouldn't give a fuck what some nobody at 3am says on a program nobody watches. For the last... |
