Predictions - a lot more Canadians coming to America to pay for the health care they could not get for free...

It's amazing how myopic liberals are when it comes to this type of system. Socialized medicine in Britain and Canada is proving to be a costly, dismal, and sometimes life-threatening failure, but these demented pinkos in the US absolutely refuse to accept the facts as they are. Which is one more reason that we need to stamp out their ideology once and for all.

They didn't need a "think-tank" to come to that conclusion..!!!

Geesh, how do I get one of them there "Think-Tank" jobs?

FWIW-

"But it adds the system is an important economic engine, employing 1.5 million skilled and educated people, or 10 per cent of the employed work force.

Aha! Maybe if they made 100% of the employed work force health care employees, they could get rich taking care of each other!

I can tell you from growing up in Canada that the system is really abused...People get so used to going into the emergency room with the sniffles it becomes second nature and it has been going on for decades...it was a real shocker for my wife to find out that we have a copay for going to the ER down here in WA...It opened her eyes to the background costs...

My mother-inlaw and sister-inlaw really over use it too, They are up in Alberta, any time my neice or nephew get sick it's off to the ER..I tell them to stop doing it because the DR is just gonna get mad at them and tell them to take the kids to the regular DR...then they phone us up and complain that the DR is mean to them...

boohoo frickety hoo...

I hate it up there and don't want to go back, If I'm gonna be paying for someone elses medical then they may as well move in with my family...at least that way I feel like I'm not totally being ripped off with taxes..
