The answer to Canada's health-care woes does not lie in the "insane" system in place south of the border, former U.S. president Bill Clinton said last night.
Speaking in Toronto, Mr. Clinton said that reform may be needed in Canada, but he argued forcefully that the U.S. model is a "colossal waste of money" that is "killing" his country competitively.
"It's a good thing, your health care system, with all of its problems," Mr. Clinton told supporters of the inaugural World Leaders Forum, which he co-headlined with Israeli Vice-Premier Shimon Peres.

Naaa, too easy for Clinton. I want that cretin to have to go through about three triple bypasses -- and THEN come to Bullhead City on a visit.
One of the rednecks at the local Walmart will most assuredly "take care of business." Fini the Boy from Hope --hopefully sooner, rather than later!
That low-life scumbag has tainted everything he has ever touched. Think about it!!!

Clinton is just upset the American doctors couldn't figure out what to do with that rash he had on his privates.
The last one just told him to "put some ice on that."

Maybe he's renewing his affair with his Canadian squeeze.
The man has turned into a lunatic, but then........he always did hate this country.

Bill Clinton is a socialist attention-whore. He loves to bash America when in foreign lands because he knows that endears him to fellow socialists. He should have gone to Zimbabwe to have his heart surgery since he thinks socialism is such a glorious system.

Welfare, medicare/aid, laws requiring employers to foot the bill...wherever there's gubmint intervention, there's a failed system.I'll add another one: government licensing creates an artificial scarcity of medical care.

Clinton who has the money to get whatever medical care he needs to keep his slime ball life alive, tells another country that socialized medicine is the way to go. /barf

Clinton who has the money to get whatever medical care he needs No change in our medical system unless everyone in Congress and the government has to have the same system. BTW, when Clinton needed his second heart procedure which was an emergency here, in Canada it's a 6 week wait. My Florida cousin reports many Canadians getting the needed procedures there to avoid the wait in Canada.
To: Cosmo105
He is correct that our system sucks. He is an imbecile if he is insinuating that the Canadian model is better.
Come to think of it, he is an imbecile no matter what.
