Redsam?

You miss him, don't you.

gee, that explains the hundreds of percents increases in fuel, food and health insurance (etc.) over the last 10 years, while the real estate markets crashed all over the country in the face of a floundering dollar, all the while inflation was (supposedly) either 4% or non-existent or we were in a recession...i'm glad someone finally cleared that shit up for me

Amazing what a "free" market will do, eh?

eh, it's a pretty gawddamn expensive market, if you ask me!

It was more of a (poor) joke then anything else. The "free" market is somewhat heavily influenced by subsidiaries and other such things that greatly impact the price and production.

On a plus side, I can have corn or grain whenever I want.

Your medical system = FAIL

I just found out my grandama had flown to the states, and she had collapsed on the plane, so upon landing, she was taken into the hospital. She is back home and doing fine, but they ran a ton of tests down there on her which included, MRI, several lab tests, and a week in the hospital, and several other things. The total bill would have been $39,000 dollars. Which she only had to pay $700 because of insurance. Canada= Win with free healthcare, that we pay for in taxes.

yep, our medical is so high because of indigents and under insured that come here from other countries. That way those of us that can afford insurance pay for those that can't, it's our little way of helping the poor...

And we don't do it with taxes..

How long would she wait to get a hip replacement?? Or is she too old to qualify for one and they'll just give her some aspirin?? how about a pacemaker??

My mom was supposed to wait a few months for a hip replacement, but lu
ckily a spot opened up sooner. For the pacemaker, it depends i guess. In Ottawa we have the Heart Institute which once you get in is absolutely amazing and fast. I suppose if your cardiac condition was such as to warrant a pacemaker, then you would get a referral pretty quickly. Plus a pacemaker is pretty much just day surgery, it's not a huge procedure- you're just given an Ativan and a local anaesthetic, you're not put under or anything. It's not a very long surgery so there's not much of a wait.
