Toronto Globe and Mail said that a cardiac patient is ten times more likely to die waiting than on an operating table.
One of my best friends was skiing in Ottawa when he got stabbing pains in his lower abdomen. He went to the ER and was told he could either be operated there for an emergency appendectomy or wait until he got back to the states. He chose the latter. When in Vermont they opened him up to find a pink, healthy appendix. However, there was a strong smell of stool. The doctor, who was at the time the VP of the AMA treated the bowel perforation before peritonitis set in. He told my friend that if he had stayed in Canada they would have closed him up at finding the healthy appendix and sent him back for rediagnosis and most likely would have died waiting.

I also have a few horror stories. But the fact is that Universal Health Care in the USA would not be acceptable to the people, and the Dems will try to sell it and sugar coat it.
Dems Lie. They have lied about the war in Iraq, and have convinced the public that what they say is true.
They will lie about health care.They will make promises not intended to be kept. We have a large problem.
