Beck is a clown. Look at him with his goofy faces and his props. Is this a news show or a kid's show?

The reason the US even looking at socialized medicine is the price is out of control here. This is why many Americans will go to other countries to have surgeries at a discount.

I just went to a hospital and they charged me over $9000 to tell me I had a kidney stone and did nothing for me. $9000 to do NOTHING? Where can I get a piece of that action?

@jschlamp, I agree with you. I'm a Canadian who spent the first 39 years of his life in Canada before moving to the US and I'm tired of this anti-Canada propaganda. While living in Quebec I've required medical help from time to time and NEVER did I have to wait 17 weeks to see a specialist, not even close. Corporate puppets like Beck rely on a lazy, uninformed audience who have no idea how the Canadian system works and therefore more susceptible to believing Beck's lies.

Liar, Liar, Liar. France has just as many world leaders going there for surgery and has as many if not more advances in procedures and medicine as here in the United States.

As for Socialized medicine being so awful, I have a left hand only because the British medical system was willing to perform some brand new and very expensive techniques on me that the US military was unwilling to do. They wanted to amputate this dependents hand many years ago. My father took a chance and it worked.

1 mounth = 16 weeks so how do you wait 17.3 weeks in 16 weeks?

I wish I had access to socialized medicine. Here in America I got charged $1,600 for the 20 minutes in the hospital it took them to tell me I had pneumonia, which was pretty obvious, and that didn't include the antibiotics. I had to pay for those anyway.

Omg he knows that he's lying and people are dying and he doesn't fucking care

17.3 weeks? Maybe for a small northern rural town and if the care was non-essential but believe me, if it was a life-threatening issue, the patient would be sent to a major city where the treatment was available. I can afford to go to the US, but never needed to simply because any sort of treatment I needed was delivered quickly. Last major issue (and it was serious) took a grand total of 5 days to be treated and resolved. I never paid a penny, no insurance companies denying me for a PEC, etc...

Americans! Wake up! Beck is a circus road show. His aim is to provoke people and garner ratings.

I AM CANADIAN. This is NOT the truth. Yes, there may be waits for some procedures. But essential care is NEVER held from our citizens.

I am living in the US (temporarily). A colleague, who is INSURED, recently suffered a brain aneurysm. His insurance company only covered 80% and he was left with a $10,000 bill.

If that's the best in the world.... Canada doesn't want it!!

@sirjustin511, telling others to do research may be your way to insinuate you are informed but you aren't. Fact, the US spends the most per capita on healthcare while not covering everyone. Fact, the US ranks 37th in the world for healthcare. Fact, over 60% of all US bankruptcies are due to medical bills and about 3/4 of those people HAD insurance. Fact, the infant mortality rate in the US is higher than at least 40 other countries in the world. You need to reply with facts instead of BS.
