It does work "real good" for Canada. They get their medicine for cheap, and mounties. What better life is there?

Yeah, I saw that one too. I have no idea how he intends to do that, and "gangsta healthcare" tactics are only going to force both of those entities to make up their lost profit elsewhere.

Right, he's going to poke here so American people think he's done some good, only to have all of it jab out the other side.
I guess it'd be sorta like making a video game company sell all their games for ten bucks. They aren't going to simply eat that loss. Their going to come up with annoying shit like subscription services and extra stuff that you only get if you buy it at the price it was supposed to be.

That's true. Beauracracy seems to be the rule nowadays, and anything new or different won't be done because it's never been that way.

I think this would solve quite a few educational problems, but at the same time I'd begin to fear a stratified educational system where the people who have more money get better education. (You know, sort of like the way college universities are now)

If people weren't idiots, this would work. Unfortunately, after seeing the people on medicare and medicaid, the idiot concentration is high.

It DOES sound good on the surface, it just lacks substance. Much like Michael Moore.
