“The only thing Roberts demolished was America. He gets the finest health care in the world so WTF does he care? “
_____________________________
I have a friend who developed an infection and was able to get an appointment, right away, over the weekend, no less. As someone who has sat in a Canadian emergency room for over 12 hours waiting for a doctor to see my 1 1/2 year old daughter with an ear infection, I said, “Plan to say goodbye to service like that.” It takes us months to see a doctor unless we want to go to a walk-in clinic.
Health care is never rationed for the connected, like Justice Roberts. Too bad he never had to deal with the consequences of socialized medicine.
btw, with no family doctors here, going to a walk-in clinic means getting there well in advance of the doors opening at 7—as in 5 am. Because there will be a line, and with our local clinic, it’s outside, which is super fun in the middle of an Ottawa winter.
Basically, it’s an all-day production. Hurry up to wait for two hours or so, put your name on a list, then sit in the waiting room for hours.
The situation is so bad here that people have died on gurneys in emergency rooms, just waiting for hospital beds.
What will make it worse for the U.S. is that Canada can pay for this health care system (cracking at the seams, obviously) because Canadians rely on the U.S. for defense. They’ll never admit it (most of them at least). But what will happen a few years down the road in the U.S. when entitlement programs, necessary military spending, and socialized medicine (and social security!) collide.
After being disappointed by Sarah and Herman, I took out a tagline, but I am putting in one now.
Take care everyone. God bless.
Roberts has some type of health issue, controlled seizures with medication. Don't know the details, but I wonder if that influenced his decision?
