It was just a bridge on a secondary rural highway, the kind of bridge that millions of rural people use every day. I don’t know whether it was...
I saw that piece too and found it very bizarre. That bridge was 75 years old! It had clearly had some significant work done to it maybe 50 years...
He was not being truthful with you. If you look back through the thread I've explained quite a bit. If you have any other specific questions...
I wish to see the politics surrounding the issue minimized, and the good science and good discussion brought to the fore. And yes, I know you...
If anyone says that they’re completely on one "side" or the other of this issue then there’s a good chance they’re not worth listening to....
You really have to shake your head at that Ron Paul piece. Which decades were those, 1900-1930? Who knows, this may even be true, but since...
It wouldn't have taken much disposable income in their hands to make a pretty big impact on the economy, given that they made up over 40% of the...
Good post moonnumack. I’m Canadian and this is perhaps even a bigger issue here with our health care system. It’s the end of life issues that...

There generally isn't an option to go private. Overall the single payer system is about 30% cheaper and it covers 100% of a country's citizens....
That was largely done for the purpose of the film, but the first two at least are issue that have occurred in the past. The third may be a Quebec...
You could buy them out and then prohibit them, at least as far as basic services go. You can buy medical insurance in Canada for traveling abroad...
On Capitalism and health care: Not everything in a capitalist country is run by the private sector, nor should it be. Police forces aren’t...
Again, you've essentially got this all exactly backwards.
I think you're right that the Taiwanese system is an interesting one to look at, but you've got the details backwards. It is a universal, single...
That may be true, but it's not true in this case. This is an insurance system like any other insurance system. People pay into a pool and they...
The real problem is that it’s factually untrue. For example, prescription drugs, other than in hospital drugs, are not part of Canada’s universal...
