Socialized Medicine = Wait (and wait... and wait... and wait some more) your turn.

Canadians wait an average of 18 weeks for specialized health care. In New Brunswick, the average is 35 weeks. For orthopedic surgery (knee and hip replacements, so that you can walk), the national average wait is 40 weeks; 9 months. Average. That's a 91 percent increase in wait times over 19 years.

This is the system we want to emulate in the USA?

Of course we'll do much better than those hockey-playing Cannucks, right? After all, our bureaucrats are smarter than their bureaucrats. And since no Republicans voted for Obamacare, it is pure and free of any corruption or defects. Right.
