Anne Doig said she supports universal healthcare and we're looking to other countries with more efficient UHC systems than us. She mentioned France, UK and Netherlands. How was that in any way interpreted as looking to the US for reform? The US is the LAST place we'd look to for reform.

Capitalism works great in Canada though. Private cable companies had to remove Fox News from their lineup to avoid losing customers. Lets say we were not impressed with Fox News' protrayal of Canada.

We are so happy for Canada! You need to stay there! If you were to get Fox News, you might learn about the Canadians who come to the US for operations and other health care.

Why not, it's free. The Canadian Government will still pay for it once it's approved. American's go to Mexico and further south and Canada, & they get 0% financial medical support from their own government.

[MaryJ0K0PECHNE]

First - No! It's NOT free! Canadian citizens are paying for health care one way or another. Nothing is free!

Second - We are referring to Canadian citizens who come to the US due to denial of or length of time required for health care procedures.

Umm...did anyone actually listen to what Anne Doig said instead of just seeing how Fox News spun her words? She said at least 3 or 4 times that Canada is NOT looking to emulate the US, and that universal health care is a good thing. Hmm...if the peope watching actually listened, it would seem as though this story imploded a bit on the Faux News network, wouldn't it?

@MaryJ0K0PECHNE There's no lottery system here. That's something fed to US citizens who don't know better.

@WCBvictim Yes that's so true. Plus I heard about a pregnant Canadian woman who, after waiting almost 3 years to have her baby on the Canadian healthcare system, had to come to the USA to have it delivered.

This interview exposes this so-called Dr Anne Doig as just another Canadian hippy socialist being used by the lefties as a propaganda Liberal puppet. If Canada's healthcare system is so great, why did almost 66 million Canadians flood to the USA as Health-tourists? The only reason we haven't annexed Canada yet is because we are keeping that country for it's oil, timber & labor reserves.

Coercive Sector Medical Care is criminal and all of the individuals upholding it should be charged as such. Everything should be voluntary, the opposite of criminal socialism.

@ScarBro2006 ...good luck getting approval while your alive...

[MadHabber99]

In Canada 90 - 95 % of significant injuries & insurance interests are deliberately misdiagnosed & not treated or compensated. They use stereotypical clinical code/commentary to classify & render injured workers & auto accident patient - claimants. This undermines the principles of universal healthcare.

Canada was a testing ground for this Medical New York Shell game.

We are treated as bad as or worse than livestock in our 'universal' healthcare'system, yet most of the public doesn't know it.

.In December 2010, 41-year-old Marlene Stephens died after waiting an hour and a half at the William Osler Health Centre emergency room in Toronto. According to family members, she was experiencing respiratory problems, and crying out that she couldn't breathe, but was ignored.

UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE IS CANADA'S BIGGEST LIE;,,,,they pay huge taxes and get no medical care other than a 5 min doctor appointment. Due a U-tube search for ''

'''Canadians who go to medical tourism''' see for yourself how pathetic it is in Canada

Both of our systems are broken. One's greedy and one's moronic. Take your vitamins people and eat your vegetables.
