you don't want the government telling you what doctors you can see!

just settle for insurance companies being far more restrictive than the government ever could be. that's much better.

- though in all fairness, in most of canada you'd have to pay for non-lifesaving prescription meds - mafic Jun 6, 10:41 13
  - I think redmond's are life-saving. But even if they weren't, they'd probably only cost ten bucks. - Beryllium Jun 6, 10:43
  - Well the prices are cheaper because you don't honor patents I believe. -- nm - Redmond Jun 6, 10:43 11
    - That might be part of it, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 10:44 8
      - sort of. we do *honour* patents, but they don't last nearly as long with pharaceuticals. -- nm - mafic Jun 6, 10:50 7
        
        I wonder when "Happy Birthday" will enter the public domain? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 10:55 6
        
        Ah. patented in 1935, won't expire until 2030. (What the FUCK?) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 10:56 5

        You leave me out of this!!! I have nothing to do with patents!! - Walt_Disney Jun 6, 11:16
        
        which I find particularly offensive, considering how much money they've made off public domain (hello, virtually everything pre-lion king). -- nm - mafic Jun 6, 11:12
        
        Didn't Sonny Bono push legislation to extend stuff like this too, before he died? -- nm - Tim Jun 6, 11:04
        
        no, that's a copyright. Different from a patent. Durrr. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 10:57
    - *shakes fist in Canada's general direction* -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jun 6, 10:43 1
      - Sorry, that fist is public domain now. *pays a hooker to sit on it* -- nm - Canada si Jun 6, 10:44
- just thing of all the EXTRA time you'd have to spend jumping thru hoops and begging to get a GF! -- nm - 'lia Jun 6, 10:40
I think government should be banned. -- nm - Loyola Jun 6, 10:37
