ABCs Stossel Slams Socialized Medicine, Finds Obama Expressed Interest in Single Payer System
On Fridays 20/20 on ABC, co-anchor John Stossel exposed the flaws in the Canadian and British government-run

health care systems, and even showed viewers a clip of President Obama as he once expressed a belief that single-

payer health care would be an acceptable system, even while taking the position that he would not pursue it, during

one of the Democratic party presidential debates in 2008. During the January 21, 2008, debate on CNN, Obama

said:It's fine for us to have a debate about how the best way to get there is, but to suggest somehow that I'm not

interested in having everybody covered, or to suggest, as Hillary just did, that I was in favor of single payer, I

never said that we should try to go ahead and get single payer. What I said was that if I were starting from

scratch, if we didn't have a system in which employers had typically provided health care, I would probably go with

a single-payer system.

During the six-minute, 20-second segment -- which can be seen here -- Stossel informed viewers of the long waits

patients must endure in countries with government-run health systems like Canada and Britain. He recounted that

some patients including world leaders and wealthy celebrities come to America for treatment of serious

conditions, and relayed the case of one Canadian woman who came to America to treat a clogged artery whose American

doctor told her she would not have survived waiting a few more weeks for Canada's government health care.

Additionally, Stossel found that even patients waiting in emergency rooms in Canada have to wait an average of 23

hours for service.

Stossel recounted the case of a Canadian town with so many people waiting in line to be assigned to a family doctor

that each month a lottery chooses four lucky residents. And in England, the shortage of dentists leads some Britons

to pull their own teeth or try to repair problems on their own.

The 20/20 co-anchor summed up the importance of a profit motive for the health care industry to function adequately

as he recounted that in Canada, private veterinary clinics provide health care for animals much more rapidly than

the government-run system provides similar services for human patients:

JOHN STOSSEL: You want innovation and fast treatment? That often comes from people pursuing profit. And you see

that in Canada because, even here, there is one area where they do offer easy access to cutting edge technology-

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE VETERINARIAN: -CT Scan, endoscopy, thoracoscopy, laporoscopy-

STOSSEL: -available all the time.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE VETERINARIAN: -24 hours, seven days a week-

STOSSEL: Patients rarely wait.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE VETERINARIAN: If I see a patient thats torn a crusciate ligament in that patients knee, we

can generally have that patient scheduled within probably a week.

STOSSEL: But you have to bark or meow to get that kind of treatment. Want a CT Scan in Canada? Private vet clinics

say they can get a dog in the next day. For people, the waiting list is a month.
