Several readers send me stories on the renewed US wingnut lie campaign against universal, single-payer health insurance, aka Canada Sucks. I just can't follow the blow-by-blow. Although the heat and the lies have escalated sharply in recent months, it's been going on for years - decades - and I burnt out on it long ago.
I'm glad the Canadian blogosphere is on it, though. Here's something important to read: The real story on Canadian Health Care Hater Shona Holmes, by Ross, The Gazetteer.
Also, don't forget to circulate this everywhere: "Debunking Canadian Health Care Myths", with more links and my commentary here.

Truth in advertising laws really should apply to politics. Environmental campaigner Helen Caldicott once said that she doesn't believe in the freedom to lie for people with a mass audience like Rush Limbaugh. I agree with her.
Deletion above was me to fix a typo...
Laura and readers--
I also posted-up on another homegrown member of the Canadian HealthCare Hater's Club Inc., recently here.

Thanks for the link.
It's really amazing to see these guys try to stand by their lies!
