Socialized Healthcare - Canada Style

Here’s a sample of what we in the United States would have to look forward to if Hillarycare or whatever any other psuedo named government health/medical care came to fruition.  Doesn’t sound much different than what I’ve read about in England.  The latest healthcare news from England is a kind of DIY dental care.  People are pulling their own teeth - yeoowww.

Take this as you may since it’s from a personal observation written by a Canadian Freeper. I’m just going to post a few interesting tidbits for us to look forward to.

9)The Government takes great pride in telling us how much more they are increasing the funding for health care but waiting lists never get shorter. Government just keeps throwing money at the problem but it never goes away. But they are good at finding new ways to tax us, but they don’t call it a tax anymore it is now a user fee.

10) My mother needs an operation for a blockage in her leg but because she is a smoker they will not do it. Despite her and my father paying into the health care system all these years. My Mom is 80 years of age. Now there is talk that maybe we should not treat fat and obese people either because they are a drain on the health care system. Let me see now, what we want in Canada is a health care system for healthy people only. That should reduce our health care costs.

11) Forget getting a second opinion, what you see is what you get.

12) I can spend what money I have left after taxes on booze, cigarettes, junk food and anything else that could kill me but I am not allowed by law to spend my money on getting an operation I need because that would be jumping the queue. I must wait my turn except if I am a hockey player or athlete then I can get looked at right away. Go figger. Where else in the world can you spend money to kill yourself but not allowed to spend money to get healthy.

13) Oh did I mention that immigrants are covered automatically at tax payer expense having never contributed a dollar to the system and pay no premiums.

For all those believers in universal socialized healthcare you should read this.

  1. Please don’t post this stuff anymore … it makes me cry for my children. Why do I feel like I’m living in a real-life drama stolen line-for-line, from Atlas Shrugged?
