The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

"There's anger at the executives. There's anger when people see, 'Oh, you didn't pay for my $1,000 test, but you're making $10 million a year.' "

Not that I would condone violence, but if this is what it takes to start having serious discussions about universal health care down here, then so be it.

With the amount the USA spends on defense (and rightly so), they can't afford a universal health care system like we have here in Canada. If they do eventually get one, taxes in the US will skyrocket. I don't mind private health care insurance, as long as there isn't any of this bullshit about pre-existing conditions, etc., and that everyone is covered no matter what their health conditions are and there are some limits on health care premiums.

Are we surprised this happened? An honest answer would be “no”. My wife just went through breast cancer, double mastectomy, the whole kit and kaboodle. If we were Americans we wouldn’t have been able to afford to save her life…obviously we would’ve found a way but we’d be broke and in big time debt.
