Canada’s health care system, contrary to popular belief in America is excellent. It is often attacked from the United States as having long waiting lines for medical assistance.

Danielle Martin, board chairwoman of Canadian Doctors for Medicare has this to say when she wrote a letter to the Wall Street Journal saying:

“In a systematic review of 38 studies published in Open Medicine in May, 17 leading Canadian and U.S. researchers confirmed the Canadian system leads to health outcomes as good, or better, than the U.S. private system, at less than 50 per cent of the cost.”

Studies were made sampling hospitals in Canada, Britain and France to answer the question, “Can you choose your own doctor?” The answer was a resounding “Yes.“ “Can doctors make a good living?” The answer was a resounding “Yes.”

“Was the United States the only country that discovered innovative new drugs?” The answer was a resounding “No. It was found that the rate of European countries’ discovery of new life saving drugs was proportionately the same as that in the United States.

Privatized medical care interests are fear-mongering supported by greedy doctors and powerful private sector interests.
