Well I am from Canada and that sounds like a lot of smoke and mirrors. I would take the Fraser institute survey with a grain of salt. That's British Columbia ( That would be GEO tree hugging central there), left as they come :)) They want more and more money so they will always screw the numbers. There are plenty of waiting lists to be sure but nothing to scary.(2-8 weeks for most things depending on severity) I work in the Health Care area so I have a idea on whats going on. Doctor shortage? hmmm, news to me. I highly doubt it is true. My father just had a mild stroke, went to the hospital, told Doc's he had numbness in his arm, they did 2 c.t scans found nothing wrong finally Doc's did a Ultra sound, found 90% clot in his neck and 2 days later was operated and sent home the following day. Cost $0. My cousin broke his leg this summer, went in, needed surgery, 2 plates and 5 or 6 pins. (YUK) 4 days later home! Cost $0. Also the cancer treatment is all free. Also (I think the best one of them all) my wife just had a baby(november) In and out no big deal. But now she does not have to go back to work until November 2005. FULLY PAID! I think this great for raising a child. Having said all that! I do not think the system is sustainable. I pay taxes out of my ying yang! I think some Eu countries have a much better system. (SWISS) Its a 2 tier system and is much easier on the tax grab my 2 cents
