Your response is dishonest if you say that no one has died because of the Canadian/British system. The failure of the system is that people have had to wait for weeks or more to get diagnostic tests that are available in this country the next day or same day. By the time they are treated, their condition has deteriorated further. When faced with that choice in Toronto,my aunt came to this country. Just like certain Canadian Gov't. officials do when they can't get certain procedures in Canada. Now, if you think rationing healthcare under government control is a good thing, then you are setting up a system where some bureaucrat will be making value judgements on yours or one of your loved ones lives (assuming that you have any) with no recourse if they get a big "thumbs down". Personally, I like the fact that if the insurance companies do not honor a claim, you have government via courts as a last resort. |
