I saw that video yesterday. A highly intelligent and articulate expert in the Canadian healthcare field basically curb stomped the idiots. It was embarrassing. |

I did happen to notice that Dr. Danielle Martin, vice president at the Women's College Hospital in Toronto, when asked how many people died in Canada while waiting for "access" (it was admitted that there was a substantial waiting time), said she didn't know but quickly said she knew how many people died in the US because they had no insurance, but gave no reference to either. She was very quick to turn off her mike. How many people in the US, who had no insurance died because of waiting to gain access; and, how many of them died for other reasons? Was she implying that people with no health insurance in the US didn't receive health care? If so, she is wrong. Being a Canadian physician, how is it that she knows so much about death causes due to health care access in the US but so little in Canada? Edited by Banandangees, Mar 16 2014, 01:47 AM.

I assume she is well informed Ban or would not have been testifying. |

I'm sure she is. And I'm sure she is biased. But she failed to inform the reader/listener as to why she is so upon the US deaths and not on Canada's in regards to "reasonable access." She gave a non-answer.... only a smile and a click.

I guess if you can't afford health insurance, and have a heart attack, the ER has to take care of you. But, if you could have afforded to go the doctor and been on blood pressure, cholesterol meds etc. you may have never needed that trip to the ER. It's really BS to claim the uninsured have access to health care services. |

In Canada there are some wait list concerns with regard to some elective procedures. I don't believe that people often die for a lack of elective procedures. So far as I know there are no significant wait times for life and death procedures in Canada. |
