Amazing- my sister is a nurse in London, Ontario. She tells me of the great benefits of the Canadian system. I’ll talk to her and have her comment on this clip.

I’m trying to find what “great benefits” there are too. All I hear is about the long waits for what they consider “elective” surgery. Really? I think walking isn’t an elective. What about the quality of life?

Perhaps the …
Perhaps the Canadian approach works so well for so many in that country is that the system is set up to treat common, minor problems and ignore the rest so that the patients go to the U.S. for the more expensive, complicated treatments.

Sounds like a low-cost, efficient system that gets it 90% right… as long as treatment is limited to flu shots and prescribing aspirin.

Another useless …
Another useless attempt by a worthless GOP Research Center to scare the American public. It won’t work. Americans are much smarter then you realize. Republican campaigns are funded largely by insurance companies so this is ‘just business’ for them but to the 46 million Americans without insurance it is about quality of life. This is a system to help them. Healthcare reform will not hurt those insured by private insurers it will help those without any insurance. Cheers to OBAMA!

There have got to be free market solutions to healthcare. Instead of more gov’t, how about less? We should be able to buy insurance over state lines. We shouldn’t be forced to buy it either.
