NHS and Canada's Healthcare Services!

First, they have a whole Wikipedia page "criticisms of the NHS"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_the_National_Health_Service#Access_controls_and_waiting_lists

waiting lists...superbugs...paying twice...

Oh, heres an article from 2000, lets see, NHS managers to blame for problems...due to poor management not lack of funding says this BBC article...

11 years later, 2011 NHS problems continue to haunt coalition government...seems like they didn't solve anything in a decade...

I can't wait for Obamacare to kick in! 

let's see, Canada? 

Heres a bit of news off Wikipedia, lets see if they're doing any better?

The median wait time in Canada to see a special physician is a little over four weeks with 89.5% waiting fewer than 90 days.^[52]

The median wait time for diagnostic services such as MRI and CAT scans ^[53] is two weeks with 86.4% waiting fewer than 90 days.^[52]

The median wait time for surgery is four weeks with 82.2% waiting fewer than 90 days.^[52]

Another study by the Commonwealth Fund found that 57% of Canadians reported waiting 30 days (4 weeks) or more to see a specialist, broadly in line with the current official statistics. A quarter (24%) of all Canadians waited 4 hours or more in the emergency room.^[54]

Sounds great!  I'll just be over here reading Golf Magazine waiting my 4 hours with a bullet in me in the ER waiting room, no worries.

Heres something to look forward to:

OBAMA IS ONE, BIG, LYING JERK!

Obama said recently on his Campaign Bus tour that Romney’s experience has been in owning companies that outsource jobs, while “my experience has been in saving the American automobile industry.”

First of all – this outsourcing comment is absolute nonsense. If we didn’t outsource jobs your iPhone would cost you $2500 and an iPad would be around $4000. Thanks to outsourcing you can buy a computer – a computer that vastly increases your own job performance and profitability – for under $1000. End outsourcing and you’ll be paying ten grand for that computer. And for the dedicated Obama voters .. those Nikes would cost you hundreds of dollars more per pair.

And what about this “saving the American automobile industry” crap!  Obama did NOT save the American automobile industry. Obama saved the United Auto Worker’s Union (UAW).

The automobile industry was going to survive one way or the other. That’s what bankruptcy laws are for. General Motors, for instance, probably would have filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition, just as Delta Airlines and many other prominent American companies have done. GM would then have abrogated some contracts, revised others, streamlined operations, shut some plants … or, in other words, reorganize! That’s what a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is! Reorganization! Now this reorganization idea did not sit that well with the UAW. Under a Chapter 11 bankruptcy GM could have gone to the UAW and forced them into contract concessions involving both pay and benefits .. including an end to the asinine jobs banks .. and this would be very bad for union leaders indeed. So the union bosses got to Obama .. and Obama stepped in. Truth is, Obama just threw the law aside … tossed hundreds of years of bankruptcy law aside … and, as a ruler, rather than a leader, would do, forced the parties into an arrangement that gave the unions what they wanted while royally screwing secured creditors.

Where are we now? GM is operating, but not doing all that well. The Chevy Volt is a government-subsidized boondoggle. And the federal government still owns massive amounts of GM stock. Now Obama promised that this stock would be sold, the taxpayers would make a profit, and GM would return to private ownership. Hasn’t happened. Why? Because if Obama sold that GM stock right now the U.S. taxpayers would take a $35 Billion dollar hit. That’s Billion, not million. Pay attention.

Oh .. and don’t forget the hundreds of GM dealers that Obama ordered closed .. and the employees of those dealers who lost their jobs.

Obama is a one, big, lying jerk....and this is just one example of how he proves it time and time again.
