What Sweden Can Tell Us About Obamacare- The New York Times

AFTER READING THE ABOVE ARTICLE, ONE CANADIAN WRITES:

Don’t buy into this socialist crud — I’m in it, and its not so pretty.

I love the sheer cold meanness of this bit:

“whereas in the United States a wealthy or well-insured patient might schedule a hip replacement with only a week’s notice, in Sweden the wait could be as long as three months. He described such waits as a design feature, noting that they allowed facilities to be used at consistently high capacity, and thus more efficiently.”

Yes, ok, I want to see this jerk and his mother in unbelievable excruciating deep-bone pain 24/7 for 3 MONTHS because of a “design feature” – namely not having the capacity needed to care for the number of tax-paying citizens in temporary physical dire straits, and refusing not to allow a capital market to provide the relief because of a idealogical conviction.

Example:
Perfect timing here – I got severe sinusitis friday, haven’t had it for a long time. trying to get (expensive) antibiotics here in Canada’s socialized Obamacare system, forget it. even to get into the doctor is 6- 9 days. I would have to go to emergency. sit with maybe 40 REALLY contagious people for hours only to be given a salt rinse and advil.

So, instead, I went to the pharmacist (who becomes really important in socialized medicine) who sold me spray that took away maybe 75% of the 8″ ice machete cutting into my skull just above the right eye, leaving me functionally limping but better.

As compared to a few years ago in LA, when I got severe sinusitis, went to the doctor, same day, 30 min later was treated and I was totally cured same day.

You choose,
Real medicine and fast healing, or pain and suffering waiting for a government bureaucracy that is broke and cannot handle it…
