That's not a very impressive argument.
If elective patients don't want to wait for something like hip surgery, or other elective procedures, they can become "Health Tourists" and pay through the nose privately for quicker service in other countries.
Obviously urgent and emergent cases get treated immediately, or as soon as possible.
As ________ pointed out, the vast majority of Canadians are quite happy with the Canadian Health Care plan.

she's not doing hip replacements She's a cancer doc. That's usually pretty serious. And she's just one in a hospital/clinic with dozens of oncologists. And your going to trust polls after this past election?

You do realize that when you google anything and add "debacle", you aren't going to get a balanced view, right?

If someone suggested you google "Trump debacle" as a serious read on his administration, wouldn't you think they were an idiot?

I know...polls are bad. And fact bubbles are so comforting.

But still...there has to be some small part of you that dies a little when you post utter nonsense.

Or is this what it looks like after that part is already dead?

It works in Australia. Not in Canada:

"...The evidence in this case shows that delays in the public health care system are widespread, and that, in some serious cases, patients die as a result of waiting lists for public health care. The evidence also demonstrates that the prohibition against private health insurance and its consequence of denying people vital health care result in physical and psychological suffering that meets a threshold test of seriousness.

OK. So what is the reality?'

We have a bunch of fat ****s that don't pay a dime for anything and bleeding hearts want to give them coverage.

Where does that coverage come from?

Yep, us normal, tax paying adults

If you want to reform Health Care, get people off there asses if they want coverage. Clock in at least once week or you don't get shit. Visit your doc, do what he says, and if you don't get better results, then **** you.

Why do I have to pay for fat ass sally with 7 kids?

The real question to ask. What is the population of Canada? What is the population of the United States? How does the two Countries even relate when it comes to health care.

36 mil to 330 mil, hence no comparison. Your point is more than valid.

Did Neil Young have his aneurysm treated in his native Canada? 'fraid not...

You might want to try plain old "Canadian Health Care" if you ever want to risk scary information that might bust your bubble.

Or you could keep adding modifiers that confirm your bias.

Whatever you do, don't google "Truth about Donald Trump".

that graph is meaningless when you consider the U.S. is the most obese society on the planet. What's important is curing disease. We lead the world in curing of diseases. Infant mortality is also a piss poor way to decide who is best. We deliver the highest number of pre mature infants in the world. Along with that comes a higher infant mortality rate. In most countries they wouldn't even deliver those babies alive.
