You think every doctor or specialist provides the same level of service?
I guess you wouldn't know because you've never had the choice..
BTW, by freedom of choice, I meant I get to choose whether I even want to pay for health care. With socialized medicine you pay ridiculous costs in taxes regardless, and it's basically only as good as a basic health insurance plan here in the states.

Of course we have a couple hundred million more people or so, so it's expected that we have a few things they don't... choice wise though, they just send the Canadian here or some other place in the world, and the Canadians bill is $0...

You keep saying the bill is $0, look at what you pay in taxes..

So you're okay with paying more money now, while having the same choices and options? That's crazy talk!

Same choices? Can you go see a dermatologist of your choice TODAY? How about a chiropractor? If you needed brain surgery can you get 5,6, 7 opinions and then choose the best brain surgeon in the country?

I think you guys might want to smack yourselves back into reality here... what they have dominates what we have.

My insurance covers dental, (up to $2,000 a year) and vision. I don't care if your socialized crap where you may or may not die in the waiting room is cheaper; I want to pay for my OWN premium insurance to get the best possible care.
