Socialized medicine in Canada works right up until you need something important ( like a new kidney ) and need to cross into the States. The problem in Canada is the waiting.

Canada has 10 ...( 6 months ago by alainbreton)
Canada has 10 different systems, for the 10 provinces. Each has the responsibility to provide health care and as long as they follow the 5 principles of universal health care established by the Federal government. It's up to the them to manage it all. Some are doing better than others, and some of the poorer ones are not doing as good. It's not perfect and some people sometimes have to wait but no one is left on the street, and if there is a real emergency, you will be treated.

heh, i'm glad you asked... here in Alberta (the oil rich province) Canada, I pay $132 every 3 months in 'premiums' (lol, and you thought it was 'free'!). For a _very_ minor surgery I had to wait 8 months, and then they _botched_ it and I am now scarred for life.
The single payer ...( 6 months ago by jordan567890)
The single payer system here pays doctors poorly (relatively) and actually has doctors' strikes (!!).. so most doctors move to the US (our infamous brain drain). The doctors that we have remaining tend to be an odd bunch, alot of foreign docters, a few strange Canadian ones - I had a weird male doctor come on to me once (and I'm a straight guy!), and I have a cousin with a similar story (basically she was stalked by her doctor). they also tend to act like they're doing you a favor.

"if there is a real emergency, you will be treated".. not so, there are lots of stories about people dieing while waiting months for surgery - but of course they're fine with that here - because it's equitable - i.e. the middle class and the poor have equal chances of dieing (the rich of course just go to the US).
and then there are ...( 6 months ago by jordan567890)
and then there are strange stories about people being refused care and then dieing right outside the hospital.. like 2-3 of these in the last year or so (strange things happen when you're relying on peoples' 'goodness' to get service, instead of on their self-interest).

btw, it's _illegal_ to buy or sell health care here (in other words: you _must_ go through the public system).

I'd rather have a candidate who is willing to shake me by the hand instead of kissing me in the ass.
Ron Paul is such a man while everyone else is not, which is one reason my vote goes to him.

I think you read a little to far into my statement... It was meant to be funny. I don't need any news person to interpret anything. I make my own decisions. But I do like it when they agree with me, there's nothing wrong with that...
In short, take a chill pill bro, it's not that serious (and you'll be a lot better off if you learn that the media is never 'detached', it's just the way it is)

I hate it when fellow Ron Paul supporters say that he is being "censored" by the Main Stream Media (MSM). It's not the MSM, it's a few powerful organizations, like Fox News, that "censor" Ron Paul.
