U.S. vs Canadian Healthcare System
By Hunter Hayes
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas Many times during the recent healthcare debate we heard liberals discuss how wonderful the healthcare delivery systems are in other countries such as Canada. In fact Democrats modeled ObamaCare in many regards after similar socialized and single-payer systems.
Reality tells us a different story.
The table below shows how our healthcare system compares to the Canadian single-payer system" with regard to access to specialty care.
Take an example from the real world.
Last February Danny Williams the premier of Newfoundland & Labrador decided NOT to risk heart failure by waiting for surgery in Canada and instead crossed the border to have his heart valve replaced at a specialty clinic in Florida.
Premier Williams also said he came to the United States because Canadian doctors still use an outdated heart surgery technique that requires breaking bones to reach the heart.
Last year a public opinion poll found that 42 of Canadians are willing to travel to another country for medical care.
Is that what you want for America for your family?
US Doctors nurses and other healthcare professionals are predicting longer wait times due to ObamaCare. ObamaCare must be repealed.
Please share this with your friends and family. Ask them to join with us to support the Repeal of ObamaCare. You may remind them that if ObamaCare isnt repealed well all have plenty of time to talk about it waiting in line to see our Doctor.
