Walgreens does flu shots for 39.00

[Seahorse1776]

Government controlled health care is not only totalitarian but an act of state aggression upon the sovereign citizen who alone has the right (using their own money) to choose what medical advice and treatment to get without state interference, oversight or funding. Socialized medicine just like any other state controlled entity brings about higher prices and lower quality, such as waiting 3-5 months for a MRI and up to a year to see a specialist. I should know, I live in miserable Canada!

Just a reminder of why ANYONE who says "The Canadian health care system is great because it's 'free' and everyone has healthcare" is an absolute IDIOT.

Ha! We got the Canadian system beat. Here in the US there is no wait time. No money or insurance you just don't get one. You can't wait for something you're not going to get, duh. Sarah Palins death panels are built into the US system by default. Or you can get private insurance and have the insurance company death panel make the decision for you.

WTF are you talking about. We have single-payer, not socialized medicine here in Canada. In socialized, the government assigns a doctor to you. I can switch doctors whenever I want.

[Shirazsyrah]

This is totally outdated. The Canadian government has fixed the wait time problem that

did exit. This video is only on the web to make you

think that the Canadian system is no good. Seek

the truth.

The events in this video were selective(cherry picked) and by defntion this is PROPAGANDA. PROOF:In Stuart Browning's speech to CATO he states that Americans can key in their ZIPCodes Online and find medical care.He conveniently fails to mention that residents of ONT can key in their loc. to the Min.of.Health website and find timely healtcare.Had the man in this video performed this search he would have found an MRI in Toronto within 27 days. GOOGLE WAITTIMES ONT follow the links for the truth.
