  • The Hypocrisy and High Stakes of Healthcare Reform [View article]
    I read a NY Times article on Canadian health care system in which readers from Canada wrote in and stated that they prefer their system 10 to 1. I was surprised; but then found out that their system does not have enough specialists (too costly) so the Canadian govt. pays those that need specialists to travel to the U.S. and will pay 100% of their costs. The problem is what happens when we adopt a Canadian style health care system when our too costly specialists disappear? Where do we send our patients?

    From Sether:
    "You can argue that America has the best Health Care in the world. That's at least debatable. However, millions of people cannot get it, or cannot get enough of it. Health Care reform will allow people to GET that 'great' health care."
    The problem is when those extra "millions of people" access our system will it still be the "best in the world"?
