I still get overnight shipments from UPS, FEDEX etc....and Global mail from the GOVERNMENT run Post Office.

As a patient, I had my second heart surgery in Canada. All together I have had 4 heart surgeries and the care I got in Canada was first rate as it was in three different stats in the US. I had first rate hospital care, nursing care, competent surgeons in all four instances. Only thing that was different is that in Canada, I had mandatory province-wide medical insurance and I did not end up with hundreds of thousand in doctor and hospital bills. The beauty of my Canadian surgery was that the moment I needed it, I could afford to have it immediately, thus reducing the cost of hospitalization due to complications.

Evangelicalism is the fastest growing mental illness in the nation. It pays no attention to the teachings Jesus. It has a fetishistic obsession with violence, blood and death. Those who wish to follow that sick cult are free to do so. Keep it out of the public sphere and out of my life.

There health care is a right and not a privilege. Many people die daily because of their inability to afford health care. Besides, talk to the millions of Americans whose quality of life or life itself has been compromised by the for-profit health care industry that turns down needed treatments daily to improve their profit margin.
