You are a complete idiot. That is the only word that can be used to describe someone as stupid as yourself. Please, why don't you outline the "empirical evidence" that you've provided. Note that an unsupported claim that "The U.S. system is better." is not empirical evidence. It is supposition.

You haven't supplied evidence, you've supplied anecdotes. In fact, you really haven't even done that. You've simply stated "This is true.", and expected me to believe it. Guess what, if you can't provide _actual evidence_ to support your point, then your point is nonsense.

I've provided the evidence to support my argument. Where's yours? I've also provided evidence that shows that your argument is wrong, that Canadian healthcare is obviously not worthless since it is the best in the world in certain areas. What's your response to this? You simply ignore what I've written and continue to spout your ignorance. I shouldn't have even had to provide any evidence to disprove your arguments at all, since you have yet to provide any to support them.

So, like I said in one of my 1st Posts I'm an ex-pat and ths I have actually seen the health care on both sides of the fence.

Ahh yes, an appeal to authority. It's nice to see that you've started to trot out the fallacies. Please provide hard evidence to support your assertion. Note that your personal experience is irrelevant if you can't provide actual examples.

Since you are flapping your mouth off I have to assume that you are also an ex-pat with a differing experience.

I don't need experience. I need you to provide some actual hard evidence other than your completely unsupported assertions about the health care system.

Phew. I am *so* glad that you continually define the terms of the argument to suit your purposes. Sadly it's not what I asserted. Which was *if* you can pay the US system is better. Sadly you seem incapable of understanding that.

Oh go cry me a river. If you really believe that the valid way to measure a health care system is by what the wealthiest people can afford then your grip on reality is very poor indeed. I suppose that next you'll tell me that Zaire has a great health care system since the richest people there can afford to go to the U.S. for their treatment. I'm fully capable of understanding what your assertion means, which is why I can see that it would be a meaningless statement even if it were true. Since you haven't even been able to demonstrate that it's true, I can safely assume that it isn't.

You are a funny and sad at the same time. Congratulations!

And you're a moron with all the logical skills of a rather stupid rock. An argument made without supporting evidence is one that can be ignored, as it contains no useful information.
