A look at the long waiting times under Canada’s health-care system

Lets Remember, the VA is a Government run Healthcare system. Canada has single payer. They both have Long waits, and obviously people died in the waiting process here. Taxes are higher to pay for there health care. Then we Have Pelosi she wants single payer. I hope like hell the people of this country wake up to this crap. The VA kinda looks like a mirror of Obamacare or single payer. And lets not forget. These Clowns in Washington are excluded from Obamacare. So are they to good for it?? Hell no They should be in the same as the American People!

At the risk of feeding into the Obamacare frenzy, there are some videos from the Health Council of Canada that are worth a look for those who want to see how they really practice medicine north of the border — and how they’re trying to make it better.

Sure, these are bound to bring dire warnings from those who vehemently oppose President Obama’s health-care overhaul — we wouldn’t have it any other way — but we offer these as instruction on the trials and tribulations of true socialized medicine, which is quite different from what we’ve had in the U.S. and also quite different from what we’re about to have with Obamacare.

The main difference is in wait times for medical procedures; some talk of waiting nearly a year for an orthopedic procedure, a queue that never would be tolerated in the U.S.

Here, the Health Council, a non-profit organization that monitors Canada’s care system, talks of how that nation is trying to reduce wait times and make the system more responsive to patients.

The most recent video is below. Others are on the Health Council’s page:
