Interesting there was a doctor on CNN that practices in Canada and the US. He said the government system in Canada can not hold a candle to the US. He said costs are controlled through rationing, there is no multiple tests if someone is having a problem, they basically have one shot at a test and then they have to get in line again. He talked about people that have cancer and have to wait 2-3 months to start treatment.

He spoke of the government turning more and more over to private enterprise. Also that there are still "pay for care" doctors, but only wealthy people can afford it to eliminate line and the wait. So how is that better than today?
