Single-payer horror stories

Posted July 14th, 2009 at 6:54 PM by Jon Ham

If you’re on the fence about whether to join thousands of North Carolinians at the Patients First rally on July 21, maybe you should take a gander at a couple of items that will give you a preview of ObamaCare.

First there’s Steven Crowder’s excellent expose of the Canadian health care system. Watch this and you’ll never want to go single-payer.

Then read about another single-payer disaster scenario you probably haven’t thought about, Indian Health Services. And we’re not talking about New Delhi or Bombay. We’re talking about Indian as in reservations in the United States

Check out those two links above and then make your decision about ObamaCare.

    How about this one from the Daily (UK) Mail talking about limiting women from seeking fertility treatment overseas cause they get home and the NHS gets stuck with the tab.
