The Independence Institute has two new videos in its series on Obama’s health care policy proposals (as proposed by Congressional Democrats). These are two testimonials from Canadian patients who suffered while waiting months and years for medical treatment. Is this what awaits patients in the U.S.? After all, advocates of the new government health plan want Canadian-style single payer. It’s not just Barney Frank.
This is not to defend the current health policy in the United States. It coddles and empowers insurance companies by discounting their products and shielding them from competition. Only free-market health care reform can empower patients.
See BigGovHealth for similar testimonials from patients in Canada and other countries. This one on waiting for brain surgery in Canada and this one about distorted priorities in Canada are also good.
