I am an American who has lived in Canada for the past twenty years, where I and my children have received excellent health care. I have just watched Sandstrom’s ridiculous video about Canadian health care, filled with gross exaggerations and disinformation. Sandstrom should be ashamed of herself. We Canadians feel sorry for Americans, for they live in the Dark Ages, where uninsured people go in hock for health care, have to be taken in as charity cases to get care, or decide not to get treatment and tests because it is too expensive. I got timely and state-of-the-art treatment for breast cancer in Canada about seven years ago, and now I am fit and healthy. Total cost of my treatment? $0.
We have excellent researchers and brilliant doctors, many of whom make innovative scientific discoveries that American doctors learn from. Yes, there are some waiting lists for non-emergency procedures. There is a shortage of family doctors (because of the higher salaries in the US, we lose a lot of doctors who go south), but anyone can go to a walk-in clinic and ask for a full physical and get referred to a specialist if necessary. The physical is free, and the specialists are all free. You just give them your Medicare card. It’s all covered!
Why are Americans so paranoid about catching up to Canada, Germany, England, France, and all of Scandinavia? The US is the last country in the civilized world to understand that universal health care is a RIGHT, not a privilege! For an excellent article on the subject–rather than listening to Sandstom’s inaccurate rantings and ravings–read the Bloomberg report entitled: “Canadian Health Care, Even with Queues, Bests US.” Here is the link:

You don’t have a right to anyone else’s money, and that’s who pays for universal healthcare and socialized medicine. Free markets aren’t perfect, but they’re a lot better than socialism. There are many other fixes to the healthcare system that don’t involve socialism. We don’t have to sell our freedom to do it.
