A harsh indictment indeed.

Canada's death row

Nationalized (government-run) health care has been the goal of many for decades. And Canada's system, some say, is a good model.
Yikes.

"Universal health care," the spoonful of sugar that's supposed to make nationalized medicine go down better, increases demand. Which begets shortages. Which beget rationing. Which begets waiting. So long have the delays grown for some services that Health Canada had to form the "Wait Time Alliance."

"Emergency" heart-bypass surgery should be done within two days. Not "urgent"? You'll have to wait anywhere from 42 to 182 days.
This isn't medical care; this is death row. And it's an expensive one at that: Canadians are paying $5.5 billion just to figure out how to reduce waiting.

Obviously, nationalized health care is an idea whose time hasn't come.

I wonder if Hillary will take the hint. Perhaps she ought to come up here and stand in line the next time she gets sick.
