My son’s job takes him to Canada frequently. He gets a kick out of the people calling talk radio complaining of National health care and wishing for a U.S.-style private health system.
This spring, I had to take my wife to the emergency room here. To make a long story short, it progressed from uterine cysts to discovery of a level one cancer to surgery. Total time from 1st visit to going home after surgery, 5 weeks. I wonder if a National Health system would do the same. We have about $4,000 in co-pays to come up with, but we’ll manage. before I get the usual “winner of life’s lottery” crap, until the Democrats tanked the economy my company had trucks sitting in the yard we couldn’t find drivers for. Any one who could drive out of the yard without hitting anything could get the same health insurance I have. But, I guess “free” is easier than earning a living.
