The Canadian healthcare system, while not quite as bad as Cuba’s, is not what any American would want to experience. The basis for all socialized medicine (call it single payor or anything else) is delay and deny. It is not unusual for a Canadian, once diagnosed with cancer, to wait six months to see the oncologist.

That works really well for holding the costs down because once the patient waits six months, it is often too late to do anything for them. It’s basically a form of triage, without having to make the critical decision of who to treat, the delay tactic makes the decision for them.

Here is how “free” socialist medicine works (from first hand observation of my family in Slovakia).

Bride the doctor to see you. Go to the state run Pharmacy. They will not have the drugs you need. Go to black market to buy drugs (or ask American family to buy and send). Bride hospital to accept you. Bring own linens and towels and FOOD.

It is a great system. First you pay outrageous taxes to have your "free" medicine and then pay again to actually make it work.

As an irony. Dentists are not under the socialist medicine system. Dental work is inexpensive, quick and to American standards.

How can one man be so blatantly disingenuous? If there were any justice, Moore would be forced to get all his health care in Cuba.

Micheal Moore knows this. He is just an expert at propoganda and lies. He is a master at leading the HateAmerica conspiracy crowd and telling them exactly what they want to hear.
They believe every word of it and he gets very rich in the proccess.
