61. Moho: Don’t get suckered. Americans like to complain. Leftists always feel left behind by the progressives in Europe, and try to catch up with them regardless of consequences. They have cap-and-trade, we’ll have one. Eventhough on all accounts the Euro’s cap-and-trade is a total disaster. Er, not total, it favors the connected. That’s why the Dems love it.

Rating their Universal Health Care satisfied is useless. They don’t know better. E.g. A well-heeled Canadian MP sneaked into California for cancer treatment. The Canadians have a safety valve south of the border. Their pregnant women come south to deliver their babies when their hospitals are full. Their brain cancer patients come south for CAT scans when they cannot stand the months long wait list. In the latest poll, 90+% of Americans love their healthcare. That doesn’t stop the progressives from trying to junk the system and turn the healthcare into another Clunker pgm which they believe was a great success.

I guess Oregon’s is really “DeathCare”. I hope they pay for the funerals in lieu of paying for the treatments.

Death is always messy. Whether one dies of a lingering disease or in an accident, someone else must pick up the pieces afterwards (literally). The only way to achieve “Death with Dignity” is to plan your own funeral, dig your own grave, lie in your own coffin and bump yourself off. No gun here, too messy. The only thing left to do is for someone, preferably from the State DeathCare to close the lid, and call it another sucess. The Death Tax should pay for the extra care.
