Why do Canadian's come to the US for health care? Because they can

"Most of what we hear about the Canadian health care system is
negative; in particular, the long waiting times for medical
procedures. But we found that waiting times affect few patients,
only 3.5% of Canadians vs. 0.7% of people in the U.S."

How is that not significant? If I wrote the headline, it would
read: "Five times as many Canadian patients are affected by long
waiting times compared to American patients".

The fact that the author downplays that important fact, yet hypes
another fact like "9.9% of U.S. respondents couldn't afford medicine
vs. 5.1% in Canada", shows his bias.
No matter what country you're talking about, why should it EVER be a
luxury item? I know the usual drivel: It's not mentioned in the
Constitution, but that's not a good enough reason.

Nothing is preventing you from setting up a charitable foundation that
will cover health costs for those that "can't afford" or simply don't
want to pay for it. This method will enable you to do something good
for you fellow man rather than bitching, complaining and whining about
its not fair unless the government takes money from everyone to do it.



Using the written word, Bertbrain, have you ever convinced anyone* of
anything?


* Anyone - an adult of average or higher intelligence.

You would be suprised at the trust and confidence that has directly been
placed in me by several thousand people. And, each one of them survivied.
