TobagoJack's story isn't really a reply to Stossel's arguments, even to his arguments about wait times. Notice the wait times he was talking about where not for treatment of acute injury. Also he was talking about wait times in Canada and the UK, not Hong Kong. Than you also have the fact that Stossel made other arguments that had nothing to do with wait times. For example - "But Canadians' longer lives are unrelated to heath care. Canadians are less likely to get into accidents or be murdered. Take those factors into account, not to mention obesity, and Americans live longer." And arguments only partially related to wait times such as "More than a million Canadians cannot find a regular family doctor. One town holds a lottery. Once a week the town clerk gets a box out of the closet. Everyone who wants to have a family doctor puts his or her name in it. The clerk pulls out one slip to determine the winner."
