The Falacy of Canada's superior health care

Canadian Health Care We So Envy Lies In Ruins, Its Architect Admits

Correction: that would be the health care system that the left envies. But then again, what does the left envy anywhere that really does what it is supposed to?

"We thought we could resolve the system's problems by rationing services or injecting massive amounts of new money into it," says Castonguay. But now he prescribes a radical overhaul: "We are proposing to give a greater role to the private sector so that people can exercise freedom of choice."

And this is the model that Hillary and other leftists would follow if given the chance? Sounds a lot like Canada is interested in adopting our system, just at a time when the left would throw it away to embrace Canada's failing system.

Where does Obama stand on Canada's health care network? Does he see it as a model to follow, or the failure it is?

1. The left loves plans that will fail because then that justifies even greater Statism. Because their solution to every problem is to throw good money after bad. And then they can use that money to line the pockets of union bosses, lobbyists, and to throw small salary perks at public employees. Eventually it turns in to a vicious cycle.

Need examples? Sound Transit, WA Education, Brightwater.

2. In England you have to carry supplimental insurance, to even get a colonostamy within a reasonable timeframe.

Add 50 Million to free care in the US, and you awill be waiting months if not years for necessary operations, or necessary if the government feels you are worthy to recive the treatments.

You know not to old, not to sick, government hacks always in the front of the line, etc etc

No Thanks
