AND, my small business pays less per employee on the extra taxes than on the premiums we might pay in the USA.

Thus a lot of drugs simply are never released in Canada, or released much later in Canada than in the United States, because the lower expected prices for prescriptions in Canada mean that drug companies can't make iMoney on Canadian customers. I remember Strattera (atomoxetine, an antidepressant for treating ADHD) being one of them.

I call bullshit. This is just another lie put out by conservatards and libertards to spread FUD about single payer health care. Give us a list of drugs that have not been released in Canada but have been released in the US because of profitability. Come on. I want a list, and an unequivocal statement from the drug company that the reason that these drugs aren't available is because of Canada's single payer system. Come on you lying SOB, produce some fucking evidence, and no, a broadcast from the Rush Limbaugh show or anything put out by the Heritage Institute, American Enterprise Institute or Competitive Enterprise Institute doesn't count as evidence.

Where did you get such a cheap cellular plan? I hardly make any calls, but my bare-bones prepaid phone plan costs more than $4 a month. In the US, the cheapest I found is T-Mobile To Go, which charges about 10 cents a minute if you buy $100. Since the minutes last at most a year, the minimum you have to pay is about more than $8 a month.

Juror's Tweets Overturns Trial Verdict-> 1

Submitted by D H NG
D H NG writes "The Arkansas Supreme Court had overturned a murder conviction due to a juror tweeting during the trial. Erickson Dimas-Martinez was convicted in 2010 of killing a teenager and was sentenced to death. His lawyers appealed the case on account of a juror tweeting his musings during the trial. Tweets sent include "The coffee here sucks" and "Court. Day 5. here we go again". In an opinion, Associate Justice Donald Corbin wrote "because of the very nature of Twitter as an... online social media site, Juror 2's tweets about the trial were very much public discussions." Dimas-Martinez is to be given a new trial."

May eventually happen, but It's going to be a bit...

Must be an Apple-oriented site. Where in the real world would Safari be ahead of Chrome?

Please remain calm, it's no use both of us being hysterical at the same time.
