The court case being referenced in the article was four years ago, it's true. When googling about waiting lists in the Canadian health care system, you get a lot of links to a lot of different sources. A reputable source of journalism quoting a justice in the Canadian Supreme court seemed like a more solid link than to some conservative think tank with an agenda. Has anything changed in the four years since that court case that would have altered the situation he's referring to? I'd be interested since I'm someone inclined to oppose any government managed health care.
But yes, the waits in the Canadian health care system are often cited by opponents of government provided health care. Waiting several months for an MRI (one of the frequent examples if you google/wiki the topic) could cost you your life when some conditions require early detection to take care of reliably. I'm curious - there's enough countries represented here on mobileread, what is the experience of those who live in nations that already have centrally-managed health care?
hmm....probably another topic that needs it's own thread.
