This is the Health Care Democrats Want in the USA
Democrats in the USA keep pushing for something they call “Single Payer Health Care.” What this means is that they want socialized medicine, in which the “single payer” is the government. Recently, I linked to images from the top hospital in Cuba. Now, we have this article about health care in Canada.
” A letter from the Moncton Hospital to a New Brunswick heart patient in need of an electrocardiogram said the appointment would be in three months. It added: “If the person named on this computer-generated letter is deceased, please accept our sincere apologies.”
That’s not all.
“Rather than leave daughter Emily in pain and a knee brace, the Ottawa family opted to pay $3,300 for arthroscopic surgery at a private clinic in Vancouver, with no help from the government.”
“The average Canadian family pays about 48 percent of its income in taxes each year, partly to fund the health care system. Rates vary from province to province, but Ontario, the most populous, spends roughly 40 percent of every tax dollar on health care, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
“The system is going broke, says the federation, which campaigns for tax reform and private enterprise in health care.
“It calculates that at present rates, Ontario will be spending 85 percent of its budget on health care by 2035. “We can’t afford a state monopoly on health care anymore,” says Tasha Kheiriddin, Ontario director of the federation. “We have to examine private alternatives as well.”
Socialized medicine was a failure in the Soviet Union. It is a failure in Cuba. It is a failure in Canada, and it’s a failure in Britain. Of course, nothing energizes a Democrat like failure, so they want to institute socialized medicine in the USA as well.
Ask Terri Schiavo if she wants the Democrats in charge of her health care.
