Health care in America is about to change, thanks to Obama and the Democrats. They fail to see the failure of nationalized health care in countries that have been doing so for some time. We don’t have to look far to see how it has failed. Just look north. Canada’s system of health care, where there is only one payer of benefits, the government, has proven time and again that it is a failure.
Britain, Sweden and others are turning away from the government monopolized health care and incorporating private health care into their systems. Why if they can’t make it work, are we even considering it, in the first place?
Free health care will be very expensive, both in monetary costs, as well as the cost in lives lost due to the bureaucrats and the rationing that is sure to follow any implementation of a nationalized health care system.
Canada’s ObamaCare Precedent
Governments always ration care by making you wait. That

Congressional Democrats will soon put forward their legislative proposals for reforming health care. Should they succeed, tens of millions of Americans will potentially be joining a new public insurance program and the federal government will increasingly be involved in treatment decisions.
Not long ago, I would have applauded this type of government expansion. Born and raised in Canada, I once believed that government health care is compassionate and equitable. It is neither.
My views changed in medical school. Yes, everyone in Canada is covered by a “single payer” — the government. But Canadians wait for practically any procedure or diagnostic test or specialist consultation in the public system.
