A real-life look at the Canadian health care system

This video should be a wake up call for anyone who is seriously pushing the Obamacare, single-payer option. I endured the Canadian health care system for most of my life and have posted on what life under this system is like several times before.

Essentially, the care you get is mediocre to OK, when you can get it. The remainder of the time, you are being told by triage/emergency room/walk-in/urgent care doctors and nurses that you need to wait and that you can’t have this test or that test.

All the supporters of single-payer that I’ve talked to think that if they can just get “coverage,” everything will be coming up flowers and sunshine, but the reality of socialized health care is they tell you you’re “covered,” but then your coverage doesn’t mean a thing because you can’t get treatment, can’t find a doctor, and get stuck on interminable waiting lines.

Oh yeah … don’t forget the best part. It’s going to cost you somewhere between 35% – 60% of your earnings to help cover the bill for this “free” health care.

Take it from one who has survived socialized health care for about 30 years, YOU DON’T WANT IT!!
