Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with the same complaint. Both have trouble walking and appear to require a hip replacement. The first patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day and has a time booked for surgery the following week.
The second sees his family doctor after waiting 7 weeks for an appointment, then waits 25 weeks to see a specialist, then gets an x-ray, which isn't reviewed for another 4 weeks and finally has his surgery scheduled for 10 months from
then.
Why the different treatment for the two patients?
The first lives in America.
The second lives in Canada where the government is in charge of the healthcare.
Now, think about it. Which one would you really choose? Remember to choose well this November or you won't get a choice to choose.

I hope people are paying attention to this! Too much government is never good.
