According to the author of an editorial in Investor's Business Daily, when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor she could have stayed in Canada and waited four to six months just to see a neurologist or "journey south of the border and benefit from an accessible, patient-oriented and compassionate facility that responds swiftly to medical emergencies." Guess what she did?
We have the best health care system in the world, but to listen to the politicians we are just this side of the third world. If that's true then why do so many from other parts of the world come here for medical care? How many of our citizens have flocked to Cuba for surgery?
If the politicans suceed in taking over the health care system, we will be looking at rationed care. They paint a lovely picture of giving us the care we need. But a look at Britain's and Canada's systems show us the future. The irony is that our lawmakers will be able to get the care they need because they will be privately insured. And, of course, the rich will always be able to buy the best health care.
