Quote:Was it because of socialised medicine or the fact that they didn't like the Canadian model? If you could pay less for better/ comparable care you would prefer the British system surely?

Two stories I know from the family. One is probably before the modern Canadian system but it was an example of state ran healthcare. My grandfather being a protestant in a catholic province was told he would never pass the physical if he didn't switch churches. My dads uncle waited 6 months to get a consultation on his kidney, he died waiting for the approval to have his kidney examined and treated. I've been told by numerous family members there is sometimes month long waits for routine care.


Hell the va alone is enough for me to know stage ran medicine isn't a solution I want to any problem.
