If you don't think my health decisions are NOT in the hands of bean-counters & bureaucrats right now, you've got a surprise coming! There have been several tests & procedures I have had recommended BY MY DOCTOR that my insurance company turned down. Because THEY didn't think it was necessary. There are currently "death panels" in force - they are the insurance companies who have to look after their bottom line.

And I honestly do value your viewpoints.

My main point was that Senator Kennedy did great work trying to get affordable health care for all Americans. And several Republican Senators have said that if Teddy had been healthy and active in the last few months, there might actually be a health care reform bill to present. There are so many points on which both sides agree, but there is also a lot of misinformation out there. I'm sorry your health care in Canada is not to your liking, but rest assured that the majority of US citizens are not happy with theirs either. The high cost, the bureacracy of the insurance companies, etc. There are a lot of our countrymen who buy their prescriptions from Canada because, although they come from the same manufacturers, are a lot less expensive in Canada.

What I would like to see happen is a US Congress run by the people who we elected and not by the powerful lobbyists who really hold all the cards.

.. I've seen a mixed bag of material on him, but on the rest of your post I heartily agree.
