Results of Single Payer Health Care

When you hear a politician, like Obama, promote the virtues of single payer health care like they have in Canada, they are deceiving to you.

Consider the Canadian premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, Danny Williams. He is a popular 59 year old politician, who is in need of heart surgery. He is getting that surgery in the good ol’ USA not Canada. You see the procedure he needs simply isn't available in Newfoundland. He’s not on a waiting list, the procedure just isn’t available. Even if he wanted to pay for it, in Canada he can't, they don’t allow the procedure, it’s a expensive service that the system cannot support. So Canadians have two choices; to travel to the USA and pay for it themselves or die.

That’s one hell of a way to save money isn’t it? I can’t wait for US to have a system like Canada, can you?
