John Stossel[*1] , writing at Reason:
We saw this in Canada, where we did find one area of medicine that offers easy access to cutting-edge technology—CT scan, endoscopy, thoracoscopy, laparoscopy, etc. It was open 24/7. Patients didn’t have to wait.
But you have to bark or meow to get that kind of treatment. Animal care is the one area of medicine that hasn’t been taken over by the government. Dogs can get a CT scan in one day. For people, the waiting list is a month.
I think this really says it all, doesn’t it? If you want to kill people by making them wait for months for treatment, then by all means, pass “health care reform.”
First, do no harm.
