A friend sent me this piece from the WSJ <\/a>from the seriously delusional Fraser Institute (whom I may have to give their own subject tag at this point, but I’ll stick them in with the Right Wing Noise Machine for now<\/a>). My reply:<\/p>\n

I love how these people love to site anecdotes. I note they never site the horrible anecdotes from the US.<\/p>\n

I have some collected here: http:\/\/cmhmd.blogspot.com\/search\/label\/%22Anecdote-Off%22<\/a><\/p>\n

The first entry on my blog in my “anecdote-off” section is from a BBC documentary on US healthcare from January.<\/p>\n

Have fun. See how many anecdotes you can count in this brief half hour program. I think there are at least a thousand if you count all those poor people at the RAM Medical program. But there are stories every bit, actually worse, than any Canadian anecdote I’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

Keep scrolling down, you’ll get the idea. If you are uninsured in America, you may as well be in Cambodia until you’re sick enough for the ER.<\/p>\n

Oh, and hip replacements in the US do have a short waiting time, thanks to OUR single payer system, Medicare, which is funded well enough to make it so,<\/p>\n

And finally, the Fraser Institute is full of poopy-heads, and dishonest ones at that. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I love you, but aren’t you seriously tired of being systematically manipulated by Fraser, Heritage, Club for Growth and the rest of the noise machine?<\/p>\n
