Do you read a post and seize on a few words to debate, and ignore the thoughts in the post?...Bing bang just like that...nice, and good for you...now read the two links presented..
I did address the subject of the links. I pointed out that health insurance and health care are often conflated (first link). And the stress associated with having to scrounge for health care/cheese sandwich. (second link) Did you not get that?
Can you not draw the connection between all of Canada's citizens being covered for health Care,, and the misery of your fellow Americans in the two links presented
Did you not read my post? Cheese and sushi?
Single payer systems like France, Great Britain, Canada and more, there is waiting time involved...because all of their citizens are covered.
You keep saying this over and over. You seem to think that a single-payer system inevitably means queues, that your waiting times are the price you pay for universal coverage. That is simply not so. Waiting is the price Canada CHOOSES to pay. You could have more capacity if you wanted to. Maybe thinking that way makes you feel righteous--embracing the pain of the queue as a badge of honor. But it sure isn't critical thinking. I don't see anything noble in queuing. Sure, there's something noble in providing for the less fortunate, but not in queuing.
If it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, fine, but that's no call for sneering at those who choose not to handicap themselves that way.
In case you missed the subtleties of US entitlement programs, most poor in this country have long been entitled to government-provided health care. Illegal aliens in California, not so much. |
