Hey everyone, a Canadian here. Just so you all have the facts since it seems Obama wants your system to be like ours, I live in Ontario. Our sales tax is 13% (down from 15%), our income taxes are in most cases 50 - 60% of our incomes on top of our sales taxes plus we have various other crazy taxes, fees and what not we pay for various things like liquor ( a 24 pack of bud is about $52) or gasoline. Not only do I usually have to wait up to a week to see my regular doctor for a cold or something, it can take me months or even years to get treatment for something chronic like cancer. I don't get pills, optical or dental covered despite paying for those crazy taxes. But hey, after I pay all of that tax, my healthcare is "free". Just FYI, cause ya know, I'm living in socialism and it ain't too great.
As for the twitter thing and the whitehouse using it, since most people still don't even know what it is, I doubt it's that big of a deal.

Don't worry Jon, if you have anything really life threatening then they will just send you to the USA. Just make sure everyone in your family has passports. :)

and this has been your only post since becoming a member.
All I'm saying is that it smells like AstroTurf.
I am an American living/studying in Korea, and my Canadian roommate tells a completely different story. All of the Canadians I've met in my life appreciate the ease with which they receive medical treatment, and often make statements expressing their pity for Americans with regard to our healthcare system.
Fluck! I hate AstroTurf.
