Fox News is claiming that our private health industry is booming because Canadians are "facing long lines and substandard care". Not me and not most Canadians. Granted, when I lived in Toronto, the wait times were much longer but the medical expertise was excellent.
I'm not knocking private care. It can work. Having a universal health care system and a supporting private system is not an anomaly. There is room for both. In fact, that is what Obama is proposing. Yet, Fox News' inaccurate propaganda is spreading like wildfire through the weeds of wingnutia. These wild-eyed folks are claiming that Canada's system does not work and the public option will bring the US to the level of Canada. One can only hope.

I know a health professional who is now almost 70 years old and has worked in Canada, the US, and England. She is bewildered by the total misconception that is falsley protrayed of poor health care in Canada when just the opposite is true. She contends Canada's program is organized better, more cost effective, and all in all is convined the people have fewer complaints than in the US. Why can't we have an objective debate about improving our system??? In listening to Fox News on the health care issue they absolutely are not objective in their discussion.
