Interesting, Theo, but as a Canadian, I was unaware that I was as deprived of medical care, as she says.
I remember medical care in Ontario and Manitoba prior to the Canada Health Act. It didn't seem much different from what I have now.
I've only been placed on 2 waiting lists. The first resulted from my refusal to be admitted to a hospital. Had I consented, I've been told the tests would have been done the next day. The second was for elective brain surgery. Had I accepted any neurosurgeon, the procedure would have been done quickly. However, I wanted the surgeon with a reputation of being the best in Canada, so I gladly waited.
We pay high taxes for our system, but in my opinion, I'm getting pretty good value for my money. I'm not suggesting it would be a good deal for Americans, nor do I assume that most Canucks agree with me, but I'd suggest that the question isn't quite as black and white as Sally Pipes says.
