Quote:So guess what...Canada, or any country with "universal" health care, actually has a two-tiered system. The poor sit on waiting lists to get mediocre service. Those with money just go somewhere else. If the US adopts such a system (which I don't actually oppose), the same would happen.Nope not every such country has two tired system your ignorance is showing
Quote:You should make one that says: Sorry Mom, when the government pays for health care it gets rationed, and there wasn't enough for you:You already fucking admitted the private system rations healthcare so your point is refuted in fact it's almost worse

Quote:All health care systems ration care one way or another. There are good ways and bad ways to do it. Ours is a bad and irrational way. It allows for excess, often inappropriate and ineffective care for those who can pay and exclusion of those who suffer worse outcomes due to lack of access and affordability. It is unfair and inhumane when so many millions of Americans cannot gain access to necessary care because of financial barriers. As a result, we have a system of rationing based on ability to pay without regard to medical need. Moreover, we still have no significant containment of prices and costs of health care as well as the worst health care outcomes compared to ten other advanced countries, including Canada. (8)
Oh if your accuse me of not reading a source can i accuse you of reading it selectively
Quote: "So we're better than The United States," he wrote, referring to the rankings. "But should we really aim so low?"
or
Quote:The Commonwealth Fund, a U.S. think tank, released a report two years ago ranking Canada 10th out of 11 wealthy nations in terms of health care. Only the United States fared worse. The report, based largely on satisfaction surveys by patients and health-care providers, placed Canada last in timeliness of care. The United Kingdom was ranked No. 1https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countri...ealth-care ( the UK a country with universal heahcare higher then the US for profit system in wait times . Hmm i wonder why?)
Quote:Commonwealth Fund, a private American health care reform and international health policy organization, Canada had the second-worst overall ranking among the health care systems of 11 industrialized nations and ranked last in the wait-time category. Only the American health care system ranked worse overall.http://nationalpost.com/news/canada/numb...tudy-finds (FYI The national post is a conservative newspaper)
Quote:As opposed to the Democunt health care plan, which is: "if you're rich enough to go to a doctor you can. Otherwise, fucking die you poor piece of trash."Your country is the worst ranked the worst so STFU. And your system has longer wait times then the UK so Again STFU
Or the Canadian: "if you live long enough for your turn to come up, you can go to a doctor. Otherwise, die if you're poor, go to America if you can afford it."
Quote:But that's exactly what happens with universal health care. The government decides what resources to devote to healthcare, that amount isn't enough, and people die on waiting lists.As opposed to your fucked up system were people just die .
Quote:Of course, the difference is that gun rights advocates aren't saying that everyone has a right to a gun from the government.Already addressed this . What was that about not reading again?
Oh and if Canadians going abroad is proof our system is bad then 1.4 million say about the American system ?
