The question asked of Lt. Gov. Mongiardo is not entirely accurate - the "overhead costs" for Medicare are not lower - you are using percentages. Percentages are not lower overhead costs. Medicare patients typically need more health care over time and also more expensive treatments - which lowers the percentage of the administrative costs by comparison, but certainly does not mean lower administrative costs per patient. In fact, Medicare's are actually slightly higher.
That's easy for an AMA member to say (the AMA vehemently opposes HR 676 or anything else that will shut down the gravy faucet), but just once I'd like to hear from an actual Canadian who can present medical records to back-up these claims of "long waits" for surgery.
And the good doc's "3 Years" claim doesn't match Rep. Kucinich's facts.
Thank GOD Conway won.
The Dems wouldn't have a chance if Mongiardo won.

LOL even democrats who have actually been Canadian doctors know that socialized medicine leads to rationing.

And you do not think that there is rationing done by insurance companies in the US? Really?

the rationing done by American insurance companies is tantamount to premeditated murder.
