re: You mean like Canada, a place where you have to wait many months to have a simple procedure done?

Somebody like YOU might have to wait a little longer for a "simple procedure" under single payer (maybe, maybe not). Then again, you could always pay for it yourself if you are in a hurry.

A person without a good job with benefits, like yours, could never get it done... the wait is until they turn 65.

What do the uninsured do if they need a hip replacement?

JF, > Then why is health care so much cheaper in countries with single payer?

You mean like Canada, a place where you have to wait many months to have a simple procedure done? A place that is struggling to try and keep doctors from leaving? A place that relies on America for most advances in drug and medical research?

Great way to control costs ...
