With regard to Dotor Eric Pinto's "And Jesus Said Unto Paul Ryan..."

Last night I paid rapt attention to Anderson Cooper and Dana Bash of CNN 
questioning the Human & Health Services Secretary about the draft revision to 
Obamacare. Later, the floor was open to listeners.

I am truly grateful to the Canadian Healthcare System for all the years I have 
been here and so are my 35 million compatriots, specially the ones who have 
experienced hospital stay and secondary and tertiary care in addition to their 
normal and regular GP's visits. 

Americans will say I didn't get it free. Of course I didn't. I paid for it as 
an unseen portion in my taxes instead of in a monthly premium. But more 
importantly than how I paid for it, is the fact that it was there when I needed 
it, for no money at all. Which is more than many Americans can say.

No matter what reasons anybody gives for not having Canadian style healthcare 
in the US, it all boils down to one simple reason. In capitalist America no one 
cares for those who "don't make it" aka "filthy rich".
