Here is video of the former head of the Canadian Health Care System, Dr. Brian Day, on with O'Reilly last night, where he said that "access" is the major problem with Canada's Government Health Care System.
Amazingly, Day said that 5 million out of Canada's population of 35 million people have no family doctor. That is more than 14% of the people.
Dr. Day said rationing is also a major problem in Canada, where out of the population that is just one-tenth the size of the United States, they have 1 million people waiting for surgeries, and another 1 million waiting to see a specialist for their condition.
As for bringing down costs, he said he did not think ObamaCare would bring down costs because in Canada, they ranked dead last in a study of European countries ranking "value for care."
This doctor was not the slightest bit encouraging to those who think ObamaCare would make Health Care in America better. In fact, if we adopt a Government-run system, you could expect things to be far worse simply because our population is about nine times the size of Canada's. . . . (Watch Video)

Does anyone seriously think the average life expectancy, let alone the survival rates for various diseases, will IMPROVE under Obama’s plan? I’d say just the opposite.
hmmm, care to elaborate what your problem is with private care? What is your view of Obamacare? And don't beat around the bush.
By the way, I removed your post (#2) because of your filthy language.
Still waiting for your reply ...
