I'm sure you've all heard the expression: "Necessity is the Mother of Invention."
Well, in Canada nothing could be more true.
Right now, there are an estimated 875,000 Canadians who are on waiting lists for critical medical procedures and testing that range anywhere from hip and knee replacements to heart bypass surgery. In fact, a person with a heart blockage could wait up to one year for something that, in America, would be done within a week to 10 days. Waiting a year for heart bypass surgery could literally be a death sentence if you are a Canadian.
The proof that Canada's government-run health care system is broken comes from a Canadian-based medical service group that was developed out of the need for Canadians to get immediate tests and care for critical and life threatening situations. The group is called Timely Medical Alternatives and here's their website: (Click to View). Their goal is to refer Canadians to private medical service providers so they can literally save their own lives. The people that are being helped by this group are all on weeks to year-long waiting lists for critical medical tests and procedures. Many are probably in pain while waiting for care.
Simply speaking, if the Canadian health care system was doing what it should do, people wouldn't have to seek private solutions and, in all too many cases, come to the United States to save their lives. They wouldn't have to spend thousands of dollars of their own hard-earned money to get the critical care they need.
Is this the kind medical care that you want for yourself and your family in this country? If it is, then you'll love Obama-Care. If it isn't, give your Congressional Representatives an earful. You're life could literally depend on it!

It is a shame that some Americans are so gullible, to the outlandish propaganda and lies spat in the newspapers, television and radio about Obama’s health care agenda. They have demonized the British, Canadian and other worthy plans. Hidden under a disguise cover, these radical entities are determined to keep the special interest organizations in absolute power. Comprising of the money-draining profitable insurance companies and their rich stockholders. They don't want any changes to the broken system of medical care, because it will hurt the status quo. I was born in England, in the county of Sussex and until the inception of the European Union and the European Parliament dictating to Britain. That they must accept millions of foreign workers, the nations medical system was exemplary. I never had to wonder if I would have to file bankruptcy, to pay my medical bills, or listen to the incessant ring of debt collectors on the phone.
On several occasions I ended up in the cottage hospital and their was never a cost applied to it, never a ream of paperwork. No doctor, no hospital or specialist ask me for my Social Security number, drivers license or if I was covered by a predatory for-profit insurer. Today the British Isles is being submerged under a barrage of legal and illegal immigrants, who have never paid into the system, have caused some rationing. Prior to the importation of foreign labor my trips to doctor, to hospital, the eye or a dentist was paid from my taxation. Unless we pass a national health care agenda, Americans will never know what it's like to breeze through their lives, without worrying about paying for health care? Tell your Senators and Congressman you want an alternative to the--GET RICH-- insurance companies, before a Universal health care is killed. 202-224-312 REMEMBER THE INVESTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS DON'T WANT THEIR PIECE OF THE $$$TRILLION$$$ DOLLAR PIE DISTURBED. EVEN SOME POLITICIANS HAVE THEIR DIRTY FINGERS IN THE PIE?
AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE PRIVATE HEALTH CARE, A GOVERNMENT SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM WILL ASSIST IN REVITALIZING THE WILTING US ECONOMY.
Our Brit Friend, above, seems to love to drop the same comment all over the internet. He's a left-wing member of the Huffington Post and I would assume another "thrill up his leg" Obama lover. His netname is Brittanicus and here's the same comment left at HP's sight: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/users/profile/Brittanicus?action=comments&display=all&sort=newest
He seems to be just dropping the same bomb everywhere. First he says Brit heath care is great - then complains about it. He should probably go back to Britain since, apparently, this dead beat has "the incessant ring of debt collectors on the phone" and, now, he wants Obama to save his you know what.
Here's another long list of Brittanicus' cut & paste operation at site that tracks comments left on blogs: http://disqus.com/people/Brittanicus/#main
