I had no idea that the Census Bureau had collected that kind of information about citizens and health care. (NB, Don: Danny not only linked to a site, but what he linked to clearly stated the source of information used. It's the little things . . .) If we assume that the Census Bureau collected accurate information, then 17 million Americans without health insurance live in homes where the annual household income is MORE than $50,000. My parents have an annual income that is significantly less than $50,000 and yet they have health insurance. They have that health insurance because it is a priority for them - they work for it. For most (not all) of these uninsured folks with the $50k household incomes, they could have it too but they have made a choice to spend their money on other things. (And that should make folks on the left happy because they are all about choice.) Jasmine - As an aside, I used to work in the medical immigration field. Our firm helped quite a few Candian doctors immigrate to the U.S. If they were educated in Canada, there was no doubt that they were very good physicians. Most told me that there decision to immigrate was based on their belief that they would have more opportunities to practice in their specialities in the U.S. - I don't recall any ever expressing overwhelming dissatisfaction with the Canadian health system. Out of curiosity, why did your physician friends immigrate from the U.S. to Canada? I don't mean to pry - I am just wondering if their decision was based on family/personal issues or if they just liked the type of health system that Canada has. What are their thoughts on both systems? Deana Danny –

Where? Others here - whether they do or do not support socialized medicine - add to the debate by either linking to sites or discussing their personal experiences. You do neither. You never do. Why do you fold so quickly when asked to provide evidence? Hello “Don” –

What new information did you provide? Where? Others here – whether they do or do not support socialized medicine – add to the debate by either linking to sites or discussing their personal experiences. You do neither. You never do.

Why do you fold so quickly when asked to provide evidence?
