Someplace throughout the sentences you were able to make me a believer but just for a very short while. I nevertheless have a problem with your leaps in logic and one would do well to fill in those gaps. When you can accomplish that, I could surely end up being impressed.

Not really. After living in Canada for 32 years, I can tell you that gov't. healthcare is just an excuse to take control of the people and levy taxes and user fees. If the gov't wants to ban guns, bows, cross-bows, pocket knives, or even potato guns, gov't healthcare gives them the excuse they need. After all, they are paying for your healthcare. Any activity that might possibly put your health at risk becomes a source of revenue for the gov't. If you ride a motorcycle they will impose a hefty tax to pay for the cost of injuries incurred by motorcyclists. All aspects of your life will be taxed to pay for this free medical care. The president lies when he says that there are 50 million Americans without insurance. According to the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Dept. of Commerce 45 million people have no insurance: 12.5 million or more are not American born 10 million are not citizens 10 million make more than 75,000/yr 8.4 million make 50,000-74,999/yr Everyone on Medicare and Medicaid are classed as being uninsured. The reality is far different than what Obama tells us. He is either foolish, ignorant, or an outright liar. He majored in constitutional law, yet he knows less about the constitution than I do. He believes that he can interpret it anyway that suits his agenda. He possesses the arrogance typical of most liberals. He believes the common man (conservatives) lack the ability to make knowledgeable choices, therefore, the educated elite (liberals) must take control of every aspect of our lives and make the wise choices for us. I say "us" because I am one of those illiterate, ignorant, bitter people that hang on to their religion and their guns. Conservatives are considered intolerant, and they are. But liberals are just as intolerant. I've never yet met a liberal that was tolerant of the conservative point of view. Obama is the most intolerant person ever elected to the presidency. He behaves childishly when he ridicules people for standing up for their religious and political beliefs. If you disagree with Obama, you are obviously an ignorant selfish racist redneck bigot.
