Another Train Wreck Like Canada?

Hillary Clinton will have us wait for months to get into a hospital, if she has her way. I'm sure that's what this socialist-in-waiting has in mind when she blurted out the awful truth:
"Health care is coming back," Clinton warned, adding, "It may be a bad dream for some."

Of course, the irony is that the "bad dream" this political anachronism describes is for actual health patients when her socialized medicine makes the US a replication of the sorry mess north of our borders where doctors are accused of being unpatriotic if they migrate to the US and a sane health system. Who wants to wait for a week to deliver a baby, as some hospitals in Canada do, and then fly the mother to a neighboring province when she breaks water, because all the "beds are full."

The UK has a broken-down system too. Fix the Medicare prescription program, perhaps, and eliminate the doughnut [which may have cost Repubs votes among the elderly this recent election]. But don't try to Europeanize the world's best health system and drag it down to an antiquated model.

The hankering after Eurotopian socialist models that don't work shows this woman's age, and Hillary is fast becoming an old lady.
