Canadian Health Care

Any healthcare system has it's horror stories. The few examples given in this article are not the norm.

Yes, it's true that prescription drugs aren't covered. How is this an argument against socialized medicine? It's not covered, and it meaned socialized medicine is bad. If it were covered, then Canada would only be deeper into the Socialist nightmare you fear so much. There's no pleasing you.

The description of stinking hallways full of people waiting 5 days for treatment isn't accurate. It's just not. I've been to the ER twice this year and at any given time there were no more than a dozen people waiting.

The government has a job to protect the citizens from foreign invaders. That's it.

That's your definition. Do you really think the US would be better off without public roads? Without public police and fire departments? What about murder? If it's citizen on citizen violence it's out of the government's hands? Get a clue.

So the Canadian government spends double what the US spends on health care. That equates to higher taxes for the people.

DLF, nobody is claiming you can get healthcare without paying taxes. You're arguing against nobody here.

I want to reiterate. It's simply not true that Canadians are unhappy with healthcare.
