This article is about Canada's healthcare system. I know this is an old article, but it illustrates the problem with universal healthcare.

Here is a study on wait times that was done as well....

http://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3430156

“Data from our EMR-based researchable database indicate that the median wait to see a specialist in southwestern Ontario is 53 days, with longer waits for neurosurgery and orthopaedic surgery visits, and shorter waits for paediatrician visits. There are significant variations between specialties and by practice, and further research is needed to understand the specific reasons for these. Future work should model the patient-, physician- and contextual-level factors that determine specialist wait times.”

Single-payer is great if you break your arm or have a ruptured appendix but if you need some form of specialized care or elective surgery, you're in trouble. And if you're over 65, forget it.

I just got an email from my mother about regular Medicare.

Her words: Apparently, seniors are labeled “under observation” in rehab after a hospital visit. Then the bill is not paid by Uncle Sam. Seniors must be labeled “inpatient”.

She’s one of the five remaining peeps who get their info from Brian Williams. Has anyone heard anything like this? Is it another hidden gem in O’care?

Canadians have had to go south to USA for medical care for years, since they got their socialized scheme. Now where will Americans go for medical care once Obamacare takes firm control? South, south to Cuba!?

Are you a fan of universal healthcare...if so be brave and forgo care to help your fellow citizens, remember sacrifice is holy. If you were not in favor of Universal healthcare you’re screwed....you are the victim of your fellow citizens (morons) who wrought this plague upon you.......my heart goes out to you!!!
