The "Universal Health Care" Lie

Universal Health Care is not what most people think it is. For one thing: it's not free. Someone has to pay for it, and that someone is going to be you.

And you're going to have to pay more for it than what you could pay now for private health care insurance that covers much more.

When I was talking with my brother-in-law in Canada about Zero's plan to introduce "Universal Health Care" here in the USA, his response was "If that happens, then where am I going to be able to go to get decent health care?"

That's right... when he needs normal health care, he doesn't go to his local Canadian doctor. He travels four hours each way to a doctor in the USA and pays full price. Oh, and in case you think that it's because he lives in a remote area where there aren't many doctors, think again. He lives in Toronto.

Apparently he's not the only one who thinks Canada's "Health Care" sucks. Private Health Care in Canada is a Booming Business according to FoxNews.

And people keep trying to tell me that Canada's "Universal Health Care" system is such a wonderful thing. Yeah, right.
