As a Canadian, I am a bit puzzled by all the outrage over waiting times among advocates of socialized health care.

It’s pretty evident that once you have a population inclined to look for medical solutions to every problem, you can’t provide free health care (after taxes), especially in a world of ever new science and technology, without rationing it in all kinds of ways. People should at least be honest about the choice; what does it say that our politicians don’t dare make that plain?
