Now tell us the story where you are 85 in need of heart surgery. Let’s see how your Canadian system works out for you?
Or you are a disabled vet and in the United States VA system, have pneumonia and in need of a bed and due to the reduction of available beds since 1972 cannot find one. What will you do then?
Neither the VA system nor Canada’s health care system is the way to go. Period. Competition in an open and free market system will be the only way to drive costs down as it has countless times with every other product on the market. When regulators instill a myriad of obstacles and roadblocks costs skyrocket with the inclusion of regulations. A few regulations are needed for safety, granted, but not 15 layers deep covering the same thing. These needed regulations should by no way be cost prohibited. With open competition comes the buyers voice, the buyer who likes a given service or product will exclaim proudly and openly about such. This travels and more come to buy. Bad service or product, bye-bye birdie. Healthcare is a monopoly at this time and removes the voice of the buyer.
prohibitive = prohibited
