Canadian here who just brought my daughter to a clinic to be diagnosed with pneumonia. Within two hours she started taking her antibiotics. No costs. I am not sure what you mean about the horrors of universal health care. I am happy that my tax dollars go towards these services, even for those less fortunate than me [/quote]

Yeah, its good for getting Flu medication, or basic care, but if you are Canadian then you should know very well the problems with backlog for receiving care for procedures that require much more than giving out antibiotics. I have family in Canada and know first hand issues faced from backlog, simple things like getting a broken elbow fixed which we can do in US within same week can take several weeks or even months in Canada, I was shocked to hear this, and many more like this...

If you aren't talking about it then it is only shows a bias, it makes no sense to converse with an approach like that. The problems with universal healthcare in Canada and many other countries is well known and most Americans say thanks but no thanks, our system has problems for sure, although the solution isn't the horrid single payer system in Canada and else.

Before the ACA, Americans with preexisting medical conditions could not receive insurance and if uninsured medical treatment and died. The backlogs you mentioned didn’t exist because the people would never receive the medical treatment. Were headed back in this direction for millions of Americans. I bet those Americans would still prefer the Canadian backlogs over knowing there is no medical care for them at all. [/quote]
