Okay puppy, here is the link to the Canadian Article and some quotes..now..if I throw a stick onto a very busy freeway and give the word..you go fetch. http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/healthcare/ On June 9, 2005, the high court struck down a Quebec law that prohibited people from buying private health insurance to cover procedures already offered by the public system. George Zeliotis argued his yearlong wait for surgery was unreasonable, endangered his life, and infringed on the charter's guarantee of the right to life, liberty and security. The second plaintiff, Dr. Jacques Chaoulli, wanted the court to overturn a Quebec provision preventing doctors who don't operate within the medicare plan from charging for services in public hospitals. While most Canadians - 80 per cent according to Statistics Canada - are satisfied with their access to the health care system, many experience long waits to see a specialist, get diagnostic tests and undergo elective surgery. Others find themselves facing huge bills for prescription drugs they need to survive. quote:

ORIGINAL: Nosathro Her current plan for national health care is modeled after the Canadian system. This is the one that is so bureaucratic it takes a year or more to get the approval for anyone to see a Doctor. When one man out of his own expense saw a doctor this burea attempted to file criminal charges against him. The Canadian Supreme Court however did rule that the man could see a doctor at his own expense. It is said Hilary's National Health Care Plan is even more bureaucratic and will consume 11% of the Gross National Product leading to bankruptucy. Ummmmmmm.... What? Okay, Canada aint exactly efficient, but did you read what you wrote? No, seriously, did you read it? Or did you copy and paste random words from The Great Gatsby? It takes a year to get approval to see a doctor? Anyone? Any doctor? Wow. I must have crossed the border last year when I got a same day appointment with a doctor I was not even registered with yet. Granted, we have a shortage of doctors, but that's not bureaucracy, that's a shortage of doctors. Don't you love it when a major point in someone's argument can be easily dismissed? It makes forgetting the whole thing just that much easier. Yours, benji
