Imploding?

Wait lists?

Need competition?

But I thought all these things were of the past in Canada...

Anyone who thinks Obama has a higher IQ than Bill Clinton is living in lala land. We won’t even talk about comparing him to some REALLY smart people.

And Obama is supposed to be the highest IQ president?

Maybe in AffirmativeActionLand, where there are 57 states, grammar doesn't matter, school, college, and birth records are never released or even mentioned, the post office is an example of why government is best AND why it's a failure, and breathalyzers are used for asthma victims. Here in the real world, probably not.

Okay...that made me spit my soda...”Obama Care Death Panel System”

That is what we can call it! Not ObamaCare. Not Health Care Reform or Health Care Insurance Reform. Not HR3200. Not even Socialized Medicine.

I can hear Katie Couric saying (or maybe not): “...Tonight, the Obama Care Death Panel System was implemented simultaneously in 23 states...”

There is even an acronym! OCDPS! Hey, here is a government program to love!

Hehehe, I needed a laugh there...:)

Yep, no matter what you do there will always be a private industry. It makes up for the lack of coverage these folks get when they really need it.

And Obama is supposed to be the highest IQ president? No school records have been released...

"But he's got an ivy league degree, so he must be brilliant, right?"

So does Sheila Jackson-Lee...'Nuf said?

(What idjit said BO has a high IQ, anyway?
Let me guess: does he get a "tingle" just thinking about BO?)

I was an RN for years. Americans are treated in Emergency rooms but they pay for the vist. It’s something like $400.00 to go to an Emergency room and see a doctor and receive treatment. The medications in the Emergency are free as well as X-rays, scans etc. IF they are admitted to hospital it costs them a daily fee which will vary according to whether they are in a private room, semi-private or 4-bed ward. Still, the costs would not rival those in the United States. But still, you have a better system.

When I graduated in the late 60’s from Vancouver General Hospital, the care and the access were wonderful. The system is underfunded and now over loaded. There is also now a major shortage of doctors and nurses. A system like ours in a country the size of yours including all the illegals etc. will be more than a disaster. CO

No I worked in Canada and trained here. I worked in the Vancouver General Hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia. Sorry if I didn’t make that clear. CO

Single payer health care in fine in theory - until you need it. Do we really want to copy a system that barely works in a country of 30 million?
