My family hails through NFLD and I have two uncles that were told they were too old to have either MRI tests in one case or lung treatments in another. Need to save it for the good of society. They got a nice place to die.
True socialized medicine would not permit the extra policies you speak of. Also Canada is fortunate not to be attracting tens of millions of new voters, er, immigrants who need the care.
Healthcare is also 70% of Ontario's real budget. (CBC radio). Rationing is not used as a word but is practical and real.
I want everyone to be covered. I do not want a detached group of my "betters" deciding what is best for me or my family without more choices and competition. We may get that if enough folks (even stout ex-newfies) keep the politicians in focus.
Actually universal h.c. is good and not totalitarian. It is Government-run healthcare that is intrinsically oppressive and untenable to freedom loving peoples.

It is because a java app has to bring in it's own operating system into every application. All the calls, runtimes, etc. are there. Java as a language may not be overweight but a Java Platform application (or Exclipse Platform app) is always obese.
Whose purpose is to create reasonable hypothesis, then try - hard - to disprove them. Except if the hypothesis is Anthropogenic Global Warming. Then if you suggest any studies to try to disprove the standard model then you sir, are a nut. Skeptics are the backbone of science but are a bit scary to alarmists and scammers.
There is a lot more money feeding the government bureaucracy - the U.S. government is the largest corporate monstrosity in the world, dwarfing "commercial" interests. It is the combination of users and suppliers of the massive funding of this bureaucracy and the power to be derived from controlling this cash and legislation over the taxpayers that meet in a harmonic convergence of corruption, greed, and dishonesty that is the current climate change alarmist movement. I think we should make changes to improve air, land, and water quality for humans and all life on the planet but not for the sake of supplication to nature for our suv-sins. That is pseudo-science.

These arguments have been used since the the beginning of civilization to rationalize theft. Arguments still stand. If you are a thief. Society falls when the notion becomes generally accepted.

Look at Oracle's PL/SQL - it is ADA

for the database. Oracle must have invested in an ADA parser then salvaged it for their stored procedure lang when they needed one in a hurry. Ada is a beast - but a nice beast. Java now has most of the worst parts of Ada but they run slower.
When Gates was a geek and the PC folks were threatening the dominant paradigm (IBM) from their basements, garages, and schoolrooms, Microsoft was hard rock. The stiff blue suits could not abide this upstart band of kids. Now IBM has won it all back with Java/Eclipse/J2ee and centralized everything. XML is worse than COBOL/IMS. And apple was way too expensive for the commoner not in some ritzy prep school. MSBasic, then C, C++ kicked the old F*&ts out of IT, at least for a time.
in mind... Big Blue blowhards are laughing their output ports off since today's xml software as service isn't a damn dime's better than their CICS/Cobol obscenities that ran the world the first two decades of the computer revolution. May as well look for a dumb terminal and an HDLC line. Comcast will still let me innovate... I need a drink...

You forgot Honda - the most obvious winner in a Toyota loss-of-credibility.

Actually it's the IPOD, the platform for the rest of us... uh, er, sorry... that was last century.
They totally missed the fact that the ants could be measuring time instead of counting steps.

#1 - If you like your health-care, you can keep it.
My company will drop their ins options faster than the wind once a plausible alternative is available for them. Bam, I'm in Obamacare.

Ahem, as recent events have shown we are entering into the next eight years of lies (Heathcare), insider corruption (apointees), and lack of accountability (unread-but-approved phonebook size legislation).
Indeed. Hey, here's an idea. Let's turn over control of our personal healthcare decisions to these clowns. Whee!
Maybe something similar is at the bottom of one of the great lakes?

Well, some day we all have to choose sides. Wikileaks has chosen theirs.

Since they can be the glue that hold together cooperating subsystems, rather than closed (and now retiring) VBA.
