I really don't know why, and I live here! There are many variants of socialized health care out there....one of them (or a hybrid of some) could work for us.

It really is those that are against socialized health care that keep referring to Canada. It's just ignorance.

I wish you'd read the top of the post that describes the skit and that it was written a certain way on purpose to show the extremes.

Also understand that the skit had a time limit to it, so it may not have everything in it that 'you' might want it to have.

I did read the whole post.

They don't.

They sure do reference the Canadian system a whole lot. While there are different systems out there that hardly get a mention at all.

Then start a thread, explain each system, the pros and cons of them, and back it up with facts. Or just keep complaining about it every time it comes up. Your choice.

Incase you didn't notice. This is a thread about the pro's and con's.

And am I not allowed to raise a point of view that I have noticed in debates of this very topic?

Under the same logic that health care in this country is a privilege....

Police are nothing more than a privilege. You should be able to pay for your own security, like hiring Blackwater.
Firefighters are nothing more than a privilege. You should be able to hire private firefighters like some of the residents did in CA.
Public schools are a privilege. You should be able to hire a private tutor.


Hell, we should do away with all public programs. You whiners should just pull yourselves up by your boot straps and take care of yourselves instead of relying on government to help you with the taxes they collect from you.

Yes, you are allowed to. But this isn't the first time you've complained about us using Canada as a frame of reference. It's probably the one that we, as Americans, have the most experience with. I've met far more Canadians than Europeans.

I asked you to enlighten us to the other ones.

I have brought this up twice, because I still don't know why you Americans reference the Canadian system so much. You reference faults in it and say that's why you can't have socialized health care in the US. I want to know why you do this, and I also want to you to know about others.

I asked you to enlighten us to the other ones.

I have done. Yet no one said boo about it.

Canada's waiting lines fault was referenced. And I brought up the fact that Denmark's system doesn't have this fault and explained why, here:

Not in Denmark they don't. There are doctor's everywhere. Why? because not only in med school free, the government pays you a small allowance while you're a student. This in turn produces a large amount of doctors.

No lines.. No waits..

That's only one example, and it doesn't explain how the system works and what makes it different from Canada. That's what I'm trying to get out of you here.

It does explain why it's different. Students are not paid to study in Canada. There are not that many in doctors Canada per captia as there are in Denmark, where students are paid to study.
