Health Care Reform in the USA - Are you NUTS?

I realize there are Health Care issues in the United States. They have a multitear system were some people have problems getting the medical care they need. Note I say SOME people. They want to have a system like us in Canada, paid for by the government....ARE YOU NUTS!!!!!

Canada's heath care system is a JOKE. Back in the 70's and 80's it was a great system. After the government was finished with it, it became a travesty.

I have been in our emergency rooms for 12-14 hours and not seen a doctor. It is as much as a 1 year wait for some specialists. MRI's and CT scans can take months. Is this really what you want?

Here is a true experience I had several years ago. I got a call from my daughter's school. She had fallen in the playground and hurt her ankle. It was very swollen and she needed medical attention. I picked her up and took her to one of the 3 hospitals in my city. This was about 9:30am. We got to the hospital quickly and began the wait. It was about 3 hours before a triage nurse saw her. From there I took her up to x-ray (the hospital had me do it since they didn't have anyone free to take her). I waited there for the x-rays and returned to EMERG.

Now at around noon another girl was brought in by her Mom. She had fallen at school and hit her head. She was not bleeding but was dazed and drifting in and out of consciousness. Soon she began to vomit. If you know anything about head injury this is serious. She waiting in that room for several more hours before seeing a doctor of any kind.

At 9:00pm I took my daughter home without seeing a doctor. She was beginning to feel better.

So, is this what you in the USA want? I know some people have problems over there seeing doctors, here everyone does! Funny we go to your country for medial attention.....
