    No it was one of the reasons stated. Another radical leftist committing acts of terror in the wake of the 2016 election. There were terrorist attacks all over country

    That’s why he wasn’t charged with terrorism. He however made a number of comments leading to it discussing his dislike for Paul because of his politics. Clearly, the violence was motivated by his DNC views

    The neighbor is a hard righty.

    He attacked Paul over tree and boundary line issues.

    Clearly struth's views are motivated by far right violent Trump views.

    So...a US hospital is not good enough for this king? LOL at your overly dramatic "terrorist" term use. The neighbor got mad over a dispute. But don't let that stop you from your over the top hysterics.

    He's a Senator...not a King....

    Sounds like he need some sort of specialist...or maybe this is the only hospital the terrorist could afford...since he'll be paying

    National healthcare is way cheaper. AS to which is better, it depends on how you want to measure. As far as overall outcomes, its pretty clear that national systems deliver better results. As to individual outcomes where money is no object, the US clearly delivers better results.

    There are all kinds of privately owned clinics and hospitals in Canada. Shouldice just happens to be one that is a world leader in their field. The cost difference between them and a public hospital is usually covered by private health insurance (most employees and well heeled individuals have additional coverage in this form). If not, the individual has to pay the difference between public cost and the private clinic (and believe me its always way more).

    Shouldice is a global leader in hernia repair and is the only one which solely does hernia repair. I'm not surprised he would choose it.

    Well what ever, it is despicable. The whole point of health care is profits

    Were you trying to make cons look bad with this? Do you realize how a statement like this makes you look?

    No fair asking a question we can't answer without probably getting a hand slap from the mods ;)

    Truthful and wise.

    A true American knows that Alex Jones is crazy and that Steve Bannon is a fascist, among all of the crazy alt right media.

    Clearly, you have no clue about what you are trying to discuss.

    Nationally run healthcare systems are universally terrible all over the world. Inefficient, slow and have much worse QA than the open access US system.

    The far right is authoritarian, like you. The only difference between you and some far right fundamentalist is which morals you want to shove down the throats of others.

    If nationalized medicine is so much cheaper. Why not nationalized food supplies? Why not nationalized shelter and everything else? Government run is so much better and cheaper in healthcare, then it ought to be the same for anything. It's just economics. There's nothing magical about healthcare.

    And, of course, pro-authoritarian-healthcare types avoid comparing US wealth to other countries, so as to avoid having to explain why the US, being a far wealthier nation than any other, wouldn't spend more on healthcare overall.

    Which outcome measures are you using? The WHO reports? Despite ranking the US 37 overall, it clearly stated that the US was at the top of outcome measures.
