Obama finally called them out

Human health and the need for care has not changed in 200+ years. Not even in 300+. There is no constitutional right to health care.

"A problem in Canada's hospitals is sending scores of pregnant women south of the border to have their babies.

Carri Ash of Chilliwack, B.C. was sent to the U.S. to have her baby after her water broke on Sunday, ten weeks ahead of schedule.

"And they came in and said 'you're going to Seattle,'" she said.

Ash's hospital couldn't handle the high-risk pregnancy. Doctors searched for another hospital bed, but even hospitals in Vancouver, B.C. didn't have a neo-natal bed.

"So two provinces didn't have enough room, so I have to go to another country," said Ash.

Ash was sent to Swedish Medical Center where, nurses told KOMO 4 News, five Canadian women have come to have their babies in the past six weeks. Some were even airlifted at up to $5,000 per flight.

And a woman from Calgary, one of the wealthiest cities in Canada, had to travel to Montana to give birth to her identical quadruplets.

"We always regret when we have to transfer a baby or mother to another jurisdiction for care," said Canada's Health Minister George Abbott.

Aidan Nassey was born premature in Canada and developed breathing problems before his mother could even hold him.

"It was terrifying. And he was taken away and that was it," said Courtney Nassey, his mother.

There wasn't a hospital in western Canada that could take in Aidan, and a helicopter had to rush them to Seattle.

Vicki Irvine crossed the border to see her daughter, Carri Ash, give birth.

"You can't even have a baby near home. It's horrible," she said.

Irvine and Ash are questioning Canada's priorities when it comes to health care spending.

"I think it's ridiculous that we can have the Olympics but not enough beds so I can have a baby," said Ash.

The family says there is one benefit to their neo-natal nightmare -- the newborn will have dual citizenship and, so far, they like what they see on this side of the border."

Sounds a little fishy.

I wouldn't listen to a single word this socialist jackass says under any circumstances. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing who has fooled a lot of good hearted people into believing that he wants what is best for them.

I don't trust him. He has made grand promises about informing the public about legislation, providing abundant transparency, and SO much more. And it was all a load of crap.

I would have loved to have been in D.C. this weekend. I have been to several tea parties and freedom rallies, and have a perpetual "Hang on to your wallets, Obamageddon is coming" sign.

He is going to destroy this country one way or another, and after it happens the liberals will still blame Bush.

Yesterday's march on Washington is the 2009 version of the shot heard round the world. Get ready. Revolution is coming. I plan to be on the front lines.

So, did you vote for McCain? Sounds like you don't like Obama too much.

Time will tell.

McCain was a loser from the first primary, in my book.

I voted for Sarah. And I will again, even if she is second on the ticket to Huckabee or Romney. Or someone we haven't even met yet. Someone with a spine.

I will for sure vote for the candidate who promises to walk into the Oval office the first day and, by executive order, undo the damage Obama (Zero, The Nothing, Zippo) has done to this country.

The ones I feel the worst for are those who still think a democrat is a democrat. The ones with kind hearts, who only want the best for everyone. They were completely duped by this corrupt thug.

Actually, this conservative does blame Bush for handing us over to the likes of Obama. Micky Mouse could have run, as long as he wasn't Bush, he would have won.

I was never duped by any presidential candidate. They're all playing a game and they all have an agenda whether it's someone like Clinton, just looking for the ultimate head rush, Bush, just looking to put some money in his cronies pockets or Obama, just looking for a big statue up there by Lincoln on a mountain. But I do have more hope now than I have had in the last eight years and I don't expect all the solutions to come from DC. People need to help their own families first, their neighbor's families next and their communities next.
Don't expect Palin to be any different as she's already had ample opportunity to show the whole world.

I thought he was not "combative" but drawing the line in the sand!!

We as citizens needs someone to do that....to make change happen.

I say lets see some real personalities....if pushed by the President, lets see how our senators and congressmen ACT. Lets see what they will do under real pressure.

Sometimes shaking things up shows the good cream to rise to the top.
Might be interesting...

Actually when you shake cream that has already risen the cream that rises again never is as good. We have found that in our butter making.

Isn't it cheaper to give them free insurance than to spend eight trillion or whatever that number is up to now? We're not talking billions here, but trillions. An utterly amazing number.

Sorry. I am still catching up with this thread. Glad to see that you posted this. I was going to try. I got it on the email and thought it was interesting.
