  • I can match every horror story you have about someone not answering a call bell in a hospital in Canada with a story about someone not able to get care in the US. I can match every story about not getting cancer treatment in Canada with one about one about my patients with cancer not even able to see an oncologist in the US. Anecdotes are scare tactics, not arguments.

  • Dr Gratzer is an arrogant pompus asshole profeteer who would rather people die so he can make money. This is the kind of men that stole the Americans wealth.

  • Gratzer is correct: Nixon and Ted Kennedy made health care expensive in the HMO acts

  • Gratzers' only motive is to serve medical corporation in fleecing Americans, he is a puppet and a flat out liar when it come to the benifits of a national healthcare system. He has no right to talk about who is and who isn't an American when he himself is a clear traitor to the American people.

  • all this hate on a CANADIAN doctor really reflects your fears that Obamacare may be as bad as he says

  • Dr. David Gratzer you are just a Puppet dude how thick is your skin every one pounds the shit out of you .

  • If he didnt get his ass kicked on a daily bases in high school, it was because he ran home everyday.

  • @PaulLayton1102

    Thank you so much for your insight and critique of his statements. I especially like your "profeteer" reference. You have shown yourself to be a wise man. Just kidding.

    Quit pandering to stupid youtubers.

  • @pdquick1 I live here in Canada and I have a father who is 82. Every treatment he has needed he has gotten and in a timely manner. Just last month he need a CAT scan, he waited only one week. A couple of years ago when my father need surgery to have a kidney removed, it was weeks between diagnosis and the surgery, not months. We do have issue with getting in to see specialist, and some operation there are delays, but a lot of these are being fixed.

  • Framing the Canada vs. U.S. healthcare as Socialized vs. Free Market healthcare is incorrect. The Canadian government over recent years has been turning a blind eye to private practices and allowing private industry to reduce the burden. But the most ingenuous part of the aforementioned argument is to suggest that the U.S. has free market healthcare. Medicare and Medicaid are products of socialized medicine, not to mention the heavy rules and regulations that strangle market forces.

  • @PaulLayton1102 amen. not only does he do that, but he betrays his own country, and he gives Canada a bad name. someone shut him up before he does some real damage (if that is at all possible)...

  • Congress should change Medicare into an option, where by tea-baggers can opt out and purchase their own insurance and receive a $1000 voucher to help them pay for it.

    I wonder how many would take up such an offer...
