For example, how about this completely weird quote from one Mario Goveia, who claims to be living in the US? "In the meantime, life in the US is terrible and racist. Millions are not covered by health insurance. Millions are dying in the streets writhing in pain while others pass them by without compassion. The life expectancy is plummeting." Mario responds: Nice try, Mervyn, but, we see once again your habit of deliberately distorting what someone else has written by truncating their words to make them unrecognizable. For those interested in the whole truth, shown below was the exchange that included my sarcastic comments above, which all appeared in the following post: http://lists.goanet.org/pipermail/goanet-goanet.org/2009-July/180802.html Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:19:44 +0100 From: Gabe Menezes <gabe.menezes at gmail.com> ....and we are continually being told that the USA has moved forward; does that mean that a Goan living in the rust belt would be treated differently from one say residing in San Diego or New York? In turn would they be treated better than a Black person and would a White person be treated better than them? Many of our Doctors and Nurses in the U.K. are non white, in fact the leading heart specialist is non white. Mario responds: Gabe is absolutely correct. British health care, for those who can survive the rationing, is the envy of the world because many of their docs and nurses are non-white, including the leading heart specialist. This article explains why this system is so great: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124692973435303415.html In the meantime, life in the US is terrible and racist. Millions are not covered by health insurance. Millions are dying in the streets writhing in pain while others pass them by without compassion. The life expectancy is plummeting. Its like a Mad Max movie:-)) The situation is so bad that millions of brown skinned people continue to pour into the country longing to be ill treated and discriminated against, just so they can die in America due to racist doctors who want to perform surgery just so they can make more money. Unfortunately for Goans and Indians there are so many of our own Goans and Indians who are doctors in the US, whether in the mythical rust belt which I'm still looking for, but also the heavens on earth like San Diego and New York, that all our lives are at risk as the following article describes, and we all need to return to India as quickly as possible if we want to live. http://www.ncpa.org/pub/ba649 Mervyn wrote: Barrack Obama (blessed be, slightly bent, his names) is going to radically change the US health care system this year by providing health care to all US residents who are presently denied the health services that the rest of the industrialized world enjoys. Mario responds: Here is an example of the health care that Mervyn and his fellow Canadians enjoy, FOR FREE: http://www.fraserinstitute.org/Commerce.Web/product_files/HowGoodIsCanadianHealthCare0609.pdf http://www.nowpublic.com/world/canadian-healthcare-cracking-multiple-months-waiting-list-just-see-doctor Here is a recent report of what Carmen and her fellow Brits are facing: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/5955840/Patients-forced-to-live-in-agony-after-NHS-refuses-to-pay-for-painkilling-injections.html If Barack Obama succeeds in making the US system this good, where will Mervyn and his fellow Canadians go when they are put on waiting lists for serious medical procedures that may shorten their life spans? We have a saying in America, "You get what you pay for." The best never comes cheap, and the best does not involve waiting in line for a medical procedure or test when your life may be in jeopardy, or suffering excruciating pain because some government bureaucrat says so. "The scariest words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help you!'" - Ronald Reagan.
