Single Payer For Morons
Our northern neighbor’s health-care system is plagued by rationing, long waits, poor-quality care, scarcities of vital medical technologies and unsustainable costs. That’s exactly what’s in store for America if we follow Canada’s lead.
As a native of Canada, I’ve seen this reality firsthand. To keep a lid on costs, Canadian officials ration care. As a result, the average Canadian has to wait 4½ months between getting a referral from his primary-care physician to a specialist for elective medical treatment — and actually receiving it.
Mind you, “elective treatment” in Canada doesn’t mean Botox or a tummy tuck. We’re talking about life-or-death procedures like neurosurgery, orthopedic surgery or cardiovascular surgery.
Bostonians face the longest wait times for an appointment in America, according to Merritt Hawkins, a consultancy. That’s no surprise, given that Massachusetts essentially enacted ObamaCare in 2006, four years before it went national. Even so, the average wait in Boston is 45.4 days — about three months less than in Canada.
But you can bet the waits in Beantown are getting longer, as the effects of the government-heavy system continue to kick in. Canada’s wait times are certainly growing: That average 18-week delay for “elective” referals is 91 percent longer than in 1993.
There’s also a severe shortage of essential medical equipment. Canada ranks 14th among 22 OECD countries in MRI machines per million people, with an average wait time to use one at just over eight weeks. Canada ranks a dismal 16th in CT scanners per million people, with an average wait time of over 3.6 weeks.
The United States ranks second in MRI machines per-capita, and fifth in CTs.
Every Canadian is technically “guaranteed” access to health care. But long waits and the scarce resources leave many untreated.

June 15, 2016 (Charlottetown) – A Report on Canadian’s Expectations of the HealthCare System revealed today that 70% of Canadians are very worried about falling through the cracks, especially when it comes to critical areas such as mental health, care of seniors, palliative care and hospital safety.
The report was released today by HealthCareCAN and the Canadian College of Health Leaders at the National Health Leadership Conference (NHLC) in Charlottetown, PEI.
Fear of falling through the cracks is highest in the Atlantic provinces and Quebec (79%) and lowest in Alberta (59%).
“If using a hospital puts you at risk of infection, you can’t access quality mental health care, frail seniors are left to their own devices until they fall into crisis, and palliative care is under-resourced, can we truly say we have a world-class healthcare system?” says Bill Tholl, President and CEO of HealthCareCAN. “This is a call for leadership, a call-to-action.”
Aging demographics and Canada’s fragmented system has Canadians worried. Access to vital health services account for much of Canadians’ dissatisfaction. Eight out of ten (82%) of Canadians expect they and their family will need more access to health services in the next five to 10 years, in part because 58% anticipate being responsible for the care of aging parents or grandparents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Castonguay
In 2007, the minority Liberal government of Quebec appointed Castonguay to a closed-door committee examining the health-care system's finances. Castonguay is a long-serving advocate of greater privatization, user fees and private insurance.[2]
The Castonguay task force released in February 2008 said Quebec residents should pay $25 for every visit to a doctor. The report also called for an increase of up to one percentage point in the Quebec sales tax to help pay for medicare. Castonguay said health care is growing 5.8 per cent a year as a share of the provincial budget, while total government spending increases 3.9 per cent annually.[3]
Most of the report was publicly dismissed by the government of the day.
Forty years after being one of the pioneers of socialized medicine, Castonguay's commission advocates both an increased role for private enterprise in medicine and increased public investment in the socialized system both through taxes and through user fees. Castonguay was quoted as saying "We are proposing to give a greater role to the private sector so that people can exercise freedom of choice."[4] While concerned about the financial stresses the system places on the government, Castonguay does not advocate dismantling publicly financed health insurance altogether.[5][6]
