Canadian healthcare. It sucks, but it's "free".

Nationalized health care ALWAYS fails to perform as promised. In EVERY case, it has become rationed, with a wait of years for important surgery. How many people have died in Canada, because they gave up health care to an inept gov't?

What was the most shocking was the elite of canada got bumped to the front of the line...Isn't that so typical of liberals?

in the end always look at who benefits...the state makes out when there are no doctors to deliver services they collected taxes for.

Both doctors said they are fed up with a two-tier medical system in which those with connections go to the head of the line for surgery.

In socialised medicine, all are equal.

Sure.

One wouldn't want the Canadian Elite missing valuable relaxation time at their dachas by waiting in long lines at the doctor's office.

The Canadian docs I meet at conferences are uniformly bitterly unhappy. They hate dealing with Canada's single payer system. Not a good prognostic indicator for the future of Canadian health care.

Does anyone know if there is a health insurance company that offers coverage to Canadians so they can come to the USA for their care? I see lots of Canadians come to here for medical care and wonder how they can afford it. Cant be that all of them are wealthy...if so, then Canada must have the richest population in the world cuz there's lots of them that come here for care.
