About that Canadian health care model:
In 2008, the median wait time from general practitioner referral to treatment by a specialist was 17.3 weeks in Canada. Despite substantial increases in both health spending and federal cash transfers to the provinces for health care over the last decade or so, that wait time was 45 per cent longer than the overall median wait time of 11.9 weeks back in 1997. It was 86 per cent longer than the overall median wait time of 9.3 weeks back in 1993.And really, is there any reason to believe that our government would deliver health care more effectively than the Canadians?

Frustrated Canadians come to the US for care when they get tired of waiting; thus shortening the waiting time for others. Where will frustrated US citizens go?
