I guess this is what we have in store for us under the Democrat's plan for universal health care. You frequently hear about how wonderful the Canadian health care system and how we should emulate their structure.However, these proponents seem to conveniently forget to relay facts about how long it takes to get a standard medical procedure done in Canada. A basic MRI takes 22 months. The average wait for a non-emergency procedure is almost 18 weeks. This particular Canadian waited in ER on a stretcher for 5 days seeking treatment. She joined other patients that were all lined up on stretchers for days waiting to see a doctor.
Like most liberals worldwide, Canadian politicans have been seeking treatment in the United States for their own personal ailments while mandating the unefficient Canadian system on their populas. When Liberal MP Belinda Stronach was diagnosed with breast cancer, she didn't wait in line in Canada to get surgery, she went to the US. The Premier of Quebec Robert Bourassa followed suit when he needed medical treatment for his cancer.
Before we bring this madness to the United States, we need to take a frank look at the Canadian model before your son ends up waiting two days in an emergency room, simply for an X-ray.
