UPDATE-Canadian health care: Wait and wait and wait and wait

Government health care


My blog, “Canadian health care: Wait and wait and wait and wait” examined the serious problems with waiting times for patients in the Canadian government health care program.

Award-winning ABC News Correspondent and author John Stossel has more, questioning claims that a government-run health care system would be “better.”

Stossel’s latest column quotes Canadian physician David Gratzer:

"People line up for care, some of them die. That's what happens."

Stossel writes, “Polls show most Canadians like their free health care, but most people aren't sick when the poll-taker calls. Canadian doctors told us the system is cracking. One complained that he can't get heart-attack victims into the ICU. In America, people wait in emergency rooms, too, but it's much worse in Canada. If you're sick enough to be admitted, the
average wait is 23 hours.”
