I pointed out that Canada seemed to be robust. He shot back a message that the Right Wing Heritage Foundation had deemed Canada freer than the United States.

I then asked why we couldn't have Canadian style healthcare in the USA, since Canada wasn't a Socialist country?

He never got back to me.

Just to be clear, Canada is definitely not a socialist country. If your tactic was just to bait him into the Healthcare pill that's cool and all but misusing terms to make points tends to backfire in the end.

If you think about it, my correspondent was the one misusing terms. He could have said that Obama's ACA was based on a plan GOP Mitt Romney introduced. He was so scared of the Socialist boogeyman that he couldn't handle the idea that a capitalist country could have laws to help the citizens.

Too many think. We don't do that.
