    Canadian Surpreme Court RULES AGAINST Canadian Healthcare System.

    That's right, folks! Our lying leftist mainstream media somehow forgot to tell the american people that the Canadian Surpeme Court ruled AGAINST the entire candian healthcare system stopping short of declaring the entire system to be unconstitutional.

    Now come on, lefties, don't you think this is major news that should have been given to the american people during the healthcare debate? Their Supreme court said that their health system was a danger to canadians and ,as a result, canadians would be allowed for the first time to go out and buy their own private healthcare. This decision was rendered in 2005! Why haven't we heard about it?

    Their Supreme Court went to note that waiting more than a year for a hip replacment and/or 17.9 weeks for basic surgery and therapeutic treatment is NOT ACCESS to healthcare.

    Gee...you'd think that the leftie mainstream media is deliberately hiding this from the american people, huh??

    Gee, maybe it wasn't on the front page of every US newspaper during the past few months because old news is old.

    I don't think it's so much a matter of deliberately hiding anything. It's two things really:

    1. The current health care reform debate here, has absolutely nothing to do with Canada, since we didn't even debate a single-payer system, much less prohibiting private health insurance and practitioners in the US.

    2. As I already noted, it happened 5 years ago. You'd think if this point was all that relevent or important to the anti-HCR folks wen the debate was going on, they would have raised it then, instead of waiting for you to bring it up, AFTER the HCR was passed, and signed into law.
    There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.

    The other, of course, involves Hobbits and Orcs.

    This looks more like the right-wing media fell down for failing to plaster this all over the place in the weeks leading up to the HC vote.

    Unless of course the 2005 Canadian system is so extremely unrelated to the legislation we passed that even the Right's media didn't think it would apply.

    Hate to break it to you but the american left have been pushin' universal healthcare since the Hillary Clinton fiasco in 1993. Further, it was the left mainstream media that brought up Canadian healthcare as a shinning example of a good nationalized system during the 2007 - 2009 healthcare debates. It was Senator Obama that we watched on TV during a 2007 rally where he said he wants a single payer system and it was presidential candidate Obama who called for universal healthcare(aka nationalized single payer system) and jusst last week in Iowa it was President Obama who told those folks that the just passed Obamacare is only the first step toward universal healthcare.

    So...where is the media on this important supreme court decision blasting the very healthcare system the lefties here tout as great?

    Might want to read it again?! It is from the Wall St Journal! And it was covered throughout the conservative media outlets...not the leftie media, however.

    Why didn't Rush report this if it was such a big deal? What happened to the Right media did they all fall asleep. Are you going to tell me now that all media is left slanted.

    Do you happen to have a link to recent, pre-vote coverage of this particular article? Because I consume quite a bit of right-wing media and this is the first time I've seen anyone refer to it.
