ah yes,the 'I supported bush but kerry is looking good" variety of troll.

If you want a peak of the great health care your pal kerry will bring, go up to canada and get really sick. Then wait 6-10 months for tests to determine the next course of treatment. Then wait another 6-10 months for the actual treatment.

If you're still alive by the time you get around to using your free health care, congratulations! You just won the socialized medicine lottery!

We have a friend who was in a severe automobile accident. He was treated in the U.K. It was all free! Goody!

He had bits of glass embedded in his joints which caused severe pain EVERY time he moved. He waited 5 months for the free surgery and it was postponed twice. What a deal!

Oh, did I forget to say it was free?

Amen, my grandmother's death(due to cancer progressing) was directly due to the time she had to wait for a simple biospsy and further testing to determine if a growth she had was cancerous. Upon further investigation it was determined that if she got care initially and not 18 months later, the cancer would have been isolated--in that year and a half(how ridiculous is that?) the cancer spread and she died within 6 months of finally finding out. I'll never support socialized medicine ever based on that. That type of plan cost someone close to me their life. She was a strong woman otherwise, I can only imagine the years we would have had if she had been treated in a timely manner.
