Why is Obamacare Sinking?
Even the libs are now lining up against it! Now that the blue dogs have pasted in some semblance of rational financial thought, the left wing dems in Congress are vowing to fight it!?!?
Last night during channel surfing I landed on 20/20 (E. Vargas is HOT), and John Stossel had a VERY good piece on Canadian healthcare, with real numbers and shocking results. Like having to wait for a month to get an MRI (inless you were a dog, because the vets have no wait), or being told that you had to wait weeks for life saving care. He also gave some insight into the whole 'for profit' debate, and had numerous snippets with Canadians who chose to come here for care.There is even a rising professional service in Canada of companies that get Canadians through the process faster to get care in the USA. Hopefully, the piece will appear online so I can tag it here because it was well thought out, and at the same time extremely disturbing.
Oh, and don't forget the town that has a lottery system for getting residents on the doctor's list so they can get care!

Look for "Healthcare; does Canada do it better?"
