Yeah, about that “stellar” Canadian single payer healthcare system….

Which is exactly what the Authoritarian Progressives (masquerading as Democrats) want for America because GOVERNMENT CONTROL.  Powerline has an excerpt from a report concerning an in-depth look at how good the Canadian system is – after all, the Dems keep tell us it will make it GREAT!  But what do the folks that have to live (and die) under have to say?

On measure after measure the data belie the boasts that medicare apologists tout as proof we have the best system in the world. When measuring the equity of our system against the others, we come a pitiful ninth out of 11, despite the fact that “fairness” is the argument most frequently trotted out to defend the status quo. Turns out Canadian health care isn’t all that fair.

Ditto for health-care outcomes. Despite being a fairly high spender, we are not able to turn that money into better outcomes for Canadians. Again, we rank ninth out of 11.

But in what must be the bitterest pill, we come 10th in access. That means that among the 11 systems studied, every one of them gives better access to health-care services except one: the United States. Gives a whole new meaning to the sentiment that we don’t want American-style health care here, doesn’t it?

There is not enough money in the US (even if the Progressives steal almost every penny of OUR wealth as they spew out that platitude of “we are a RICH nation”) to give everyone high quality (re: expensive) healthcare immediately.  Canada has already found this out – and so has Britain’s NHS single payer system.  Like Communism, like Socialism, not everyone can be equally served regardless of what the PR flacks say.

If you think Obamacare has been fun (especially if YOU are paying for you instead of other people paying for YOU), just wait for this.  Remember, they promised us that no one should get in between you and your doctor.  Well, with single payer, it will be you and your “health provider” who will essentially be a government work.

The compassion of the IRS linked with efficiency of the DMV.

Oh joy….
