First, this isn't remotely close ...This is insane. First, this isn't remotely close to how the Canadian health care system functions. Second, Obama has never made any mention of proposing anything approaching the Canadian version of nationalized health care. His proposal does NOT nationalize the health care system, does not dictate which doctors you visit, etc. It functions within the current model, but provides an alternative insurance option. The only thing government-run is the nationalized health care exchange, and if you don't want it or like what you currently have then you don't have to take it. The government is not going to take over hospitals and doctors' offices. Nothing is mandated even in terms of weight, smoking, number of children, etc, never mind education and career choices. Anyone describing Obama's health care plan as socialism is either deliberately lying or has no idea what socialism really is. This article goes beyond distortion into the territory of flat-out lies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
