Nationalized Health Care in 2 weeks? Rise up people!

Those country's on AERvage have tax rates of over 50% and as mentined before are socialist. Just like every program started by gov here in america Once in place it NEVER goes away.
I'm sure you have gone to theDMV in your state- now there is a perfect example of how gov med would work. Why do canadians pay big money for faster service by going to the usa. Ever go to the post office an see HOW UNEFFICEINT they are or amtrac. If you want gov medical , move to france or canada
Even the military which i love is grossly wasteful.

The biggest problem with the medical system in Canada is over loading which in part is caused by the fact that medical care is free. I am a great beliver that a charge should be imposed for individuals seeking medical care. This charge would help in 2 ways: firstly it would put some additional money into the system, secondly it would make many people think twice about going to the ER when they really are not sick.

It is true that some Canadians do go to the US to get quick medical attention as they do not want to wait for care in Canada. It is also true that many non-Canadians come into Canada for the sole purpose of getting free medical care that they cannot get in their own country. So it is a two way street.

I have never said that our system is the best there is, but it is not nearly as bad as some American politicians would have you believe. By the way, isn't the medical system in France rated as one of the best in the world?

Unfortunately, there is a prevailing belief in the United States that an adult is entitled to state-of-the-art health care simply because they are an adult American. It is politically incorrect to suggest "different standards of health care" based on one's ability to pay or their health care coverage. It is also politically incorrect to suggest waiving one's right to sue the health care provider in exchange for lower priced medical care.
