I saw the self absorbed pathetic blimp they call Michael Moore on Chris Mathews last night (surfing the chanels and couldn't help myself) and he was saying the longest waiting period he could find at the hospital he went to in Canada was 45 minutes --- What a bunch of BS. He didn't bother to say that you need to wait weeks and sometimes months before you see a specialist.

I love my country and I've never had any major medical problems, but I do know this... When the rich in Canada need health care, they go to the states.

The socialists see health care as a golden opportunity to seize control of a huge segment of the economy. It has been said that if this happens, among the biggest losers will be the Canadians.

Are you a Canadian citizen?

Having been born in the US, they are citizens whether they want to be or not, and under US Law and treaties in effect with Canada, they will forever have to report and pay US taxes on their income, even if they never set foot in the US again.

If the US fancies itself as being so liberty-oriented, not to mention fair minded, it must give such children the right to “opt out” of this tax slavery.

MM is a bald faced liar.

I have never waited less than 3 hours in a hospital here, and that was for a seriously broken wrist. 6-12 hours is more normal,...on a good day.

Thanks for the post.

Exactly...because socialized medicine DOESN’T WORK. 1. You have to wait weeks to months just to see a doctor, 2. You have to go to the doctor the government tells you to go to, 3. The doctors are often less experienced because they aren’t paid as much, and 4. The system isn’t really free because you have to pay $3000 in taxes to keep it running.
