I can go to any hospital at any time, in any province and receive FREE treatment and medication while there. I do not wait "days" to see a doctor" .When you go to one of our hospitals through emerg. you go through "triage" where a nurse acesses you situation, minor things such as cuts etc may wait an hour or so, and people with asthma attacks, heart attacks, other life threating conditions etc. do not wait even 1 min, they bypass all. I am so glad I live in a country with free health care for all....I could never imagine having to pay thousands of dollars because my insurance company denied me. Easy To Insure Me Says: November 27th, 2007 at 8:53 am Unfortunately in this movie the whole truth is not told. This is not to say that any healthcare in any country is better. However, it is a fact that in the US any person can go to any hospital at any time and receive care and cannot be refused care. Now in other countries although healthcare may be free this cannot be done. It may take days before healthcare is received. Sorry you are not correct “easy to insure me”

Under the HMO system, you are limited to what hospital you are allowed to visit, and you will be refused care if the hospital you arrive at is not approved by your HMO. It's a sad reality of the system. As for your comment about "in other countries, this can not be done." That is definately refutable, and I am definately one who would know, as I have lived in, and been a patient in Canada, the USA and Britian. I have never had a long wait time in any country, I have never been turned away from any hospital at any time, anywhere, but in the States, I do have to be pre approved for certain things, and I do have to pay a deductable. Health care should be a human right, and never should be a privledge. Easy to Insure me, that’s actually not true.

The government gets 15% of all wages (up to $102,000) in America and is so incompetent as an investment manager, if we could we would have fired them, they do not invest our money and grow the funds. The problem with Social Security is totally caused by government. No, matter your political party affiliation, and setting aside your thoughts on issues. We all need to remember what it is to be an American Citizen. We need to make sure our elected representatives obey their Oath of Office and keep their Oath of Allegiance.
