For shame. I bet Obama will personally slaughter the first baby born after this legislation passes.
It's unbelievable how sheepish so many people in the States are to believe right wing lies. I guess they prefer a system that bankrupts them and denies care to a significant percentage. I guess they don't care about their fellow countrymen. Larry Wilmore on the Daily Show summarized it perfectly last night: a hysterical woman in a town hall meeting cried that she wanted her "America" back. Larry Wilmore said "tell that to the Natives."
Thank God I'm Canadian.

Yep^ The woman linked to in the OP said that universal health care always leads to rationing of health care. So what about the millions in the US who are denied care by their HMO? let alone those who simply cannot afford it.
The problem with wait times is not limited to either system, its rooted in the education system and the amount of doctors and specialists we train.
