So you want free healthcare............

This is a book all politicians, and all consumers must read !The truth about Canadian, British and other free healthcare systems is they don't work. The Canadian dollar is worth almost 1/2 of the USD because of skyrocketing costs - technologically there are only 2 MRI scanners for all of Toronto and the waiting list is 6-12 months for a test! Canadians who need high tech tests come to the US! Americans are very litigious and drive health care costs thru the roof - in 1981, your HMO copayment to the doctor paid for the ENTIRE OFFICE visit! Insurance premiums for doctors, hospitals and nursing homes have hit all time highs.Hospitals, nursing homes and doctors are going out of business but the general public sees none of this. The news media has no stories for us because we don't want to hear the real news. Why can't I get someone who speaks American English? Read the book and find out what's really going on.......
