X2... I totally agree we need some kind of reform, but I do not want the gov. Making the decisions on the healthcare services me or my family recieves.

That is one of the many lies the insurance companies and their campaign have been spreading. Do some reading.

Canadian healthcare will not work in the U.S. so the point is moot.

Curious as to why?

Do some research. I can guarantee you will find many reasons.

If you really think this isn't the case then you're a very stupid person.

its the conservative spin machine funded by the insurance companies waging a successful propaganda campaign .. stupid people are scared easily.

summed it up nicely right here. There was even a lady who said keep your government hands off my medicare. lol, I guess she must've forgot medicare is a government run program. The president has said on numerous occasions you can keep your health care, its simply a second option to the private plans. Its there to imply competition among them and keep their prices reasonable. Its mostly people who are so missed informed.

How much federal tax do you pay as a college student? I bet no one is taking YOUR money and instead YOU take other people's money all the time!
Further the portion of people willing to live a shit life on welfare (including all the people whom you already conceed should be given a minimum amount to live):

VERY FUKKIN SMALL

^^ Well, the 3,000,000 people who are no longer on welfare haven't starved to death, have they? That is a deceitful graph, too. The scale is from 6,000,000 to 2,000,000. It makes it look like the amount of people on welfare has dropped to nil, yet there has been a 60% decline.

Even though I have a relatively small income, I still pay social security and medicare, and have no expectation to reap the benefits of either program. I recieve no federal aid for tuition. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

There is some wait...I don't believe there is "no wait" ever..


I am basing this off threads from Candaidans that have commented on waiting of upwards of 7 months to see a specialist about some kind of gastrointestial disorder. Is this anecdotal, maybe. I am certain the wait depends on the number of doctors available in your area.

--------

Here's an example of a health choice I am making. I recently started training rather strenously because I wanted to run a 5k. In the process, I have developed some sort of injury to my knee which causes pain when I run. My PCP referred me to a specialist (who I will see in 7 total days from my visit with my PCP) who I *think* will reccomend me getting a MRI. I think all I need is a brace. The MRI will cause me to have some money out of pocket, whereas a consultation where I may just need a brace is essentially covered. In a system where medical care was free, I'd just get the MRI, but because I have to pay for it, I am making choices that lower the cost for everyone. I am sure the results of the MRI will say I need a brace. So, why not fit for the brace now, and if that proves to be ineffective, go for the MRI later.

yeah of course there is some wait just not a long one. It does seem really dependent on your location just as it is here. in major cities specialists are more readily available as opposed to small towns

I have done research and I'm wanting to know your reason for that statement
