NHS and Canada's Healthcare Services!

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

Just today! boy dies of thirst due to lazy nurses in hospital! seems like the british medical staff aren't as professional as they could be...wonder why?

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:
