GUADALAJARA, Mexico (AP) -- President Barack Obama says Canada's government-run health care system works for Canada, but wouldn't work for the U.S.

He warned Canadians that they will probably continue to get dragged into the debate over health care changes in the U.S. by those who oppose his proposals.

Opponents of Obama's plan to reshape health care have contended it would result in a government-run system where people are denied care, as they say happens in Canada.

Obama said he didn't find Canadians scary but that they were proving a bogeyman for others.

I guess Hannity needs an email too.

Send to Beck too. It was your catch, I apologize for stealing your thunder.

You probably need to contact Fox. I don’t have the video and have no way to get it.

In Canada we have on a good day no more than 30 million people but fewer MRI machines than Los Angles county. Depending on the definition, our system works although our rich and powerful go to the states for care.

The fact of the mater is that no mater where you live, it's Animal Farm and it is the rich and powerful who are more equal than others. No mater what happens on the health care issue the president and members of congress will continue to get the kind of care the vast majority can only imagine.

This is a YouTube video that was made of US Rep. Tom Price-6th Dist. GA on Wednesday. Tom is a member of the House Healthcare Committee, and the video was shot in the Wed. Committee meeting. Please watch this to the end and share with everyone you know... after watching it will be apparent why this healthcare legislation MUST be defeated. Tom has said that our Constitution is being burned right before our very eyes. We must, Democrats and Republicans alike, let our “leaders” know that this plan is unacceptable.
There has to be a better way than a government takeover! If the Government takes over, it will be one of the most colossal blunders in the history of this Nation!

Wasn't it Obama and his left-wing buddies that started the whole Canada/European comparison in the first place? They were the ones saying that we needed care like Canadians and Europeans have.

Now that the ugly truth has come out about the rationing, death panels, etc. in those countries they don't want us to compare anymore.

Anyone notice in the video that he’s wearing an earpiece?

Is there a source for the video or are you looking at network live feed?

God, it bugs the hell out of me when he does that... twisting things and sounding cutsie! No moron, no Canadians, but their healthcare. I don't know if I'll be able to take 3 1/2 more years of his destruction and then acting all innocent.
