>>> Wait times for referrals from primary care physicians to specialists in Canada exceed 18 weeks <<<

Last visit to Vancouver Canada I met a lady who was severly gimped up with a bad knee. She had been waiting 6 month for simple orthoscopic surgery (an outpatient procedure) and had just recieved a notice that it would be at least 4 more months before she could be operated on.

As a 72 year old with some health problems, I will fight Socialized Medicine like the plague!! You should too!

<<Very sad, I lived in North Dakota and would often see Canadians coming south of the boarder to receive medical treatment. Wne my children are sick, I pick doctors based on how quickly they can get them in. Yeah, I am spoiled with good insurance and very competent health care providers.

This paradigm shift in terms of WHO is in control of your healthcare REALLY scares me.
