The vid pretty much speaks for itself.

I posted that in the Canada medicare thread and it's a good one.
Obviously there is ome room for improvement in the Quebec health care system.

I just love Michael Moore saying health care should be free. I guess economics isn't his strong suit.

Message to the fat guy: NOTHINGS FREE somebody always pays.

Wasn't Crowder an NHL tough guy?

You're fast. I subscribe to Crowder's YouTube channel. I saw the preview on HotAir last week, and you still beat me. I forgot to check yesterday when it came out.

Naw, that was Keith Crowder. Good for 130 penalty minutes a year for ten years in a row. Good Team Cherry broth of a wee lad:

Regina, Steven Crowder is something David Letterman says can't exist in the age of Obama. He's a political satirist.

Do you remember how after the election Dave was lamenting satirical humor was no longer possible? Apparently it's impossible to be critical in the golden age of The One, or some such thing.

I don't know. Steve seems to find a way. He's not for all tastes, but I kind of like him. Here's a sample.



His home base is here...

Follow up interview with Steve.

I don't understand the point of this video. I waited just as long in an emergency room in Denver. I guess Quebecs system just sucks. I have not had any sort of major health problems but the people in my family that have had serious illness received fast top notch care here in Calgary. I think this guy had an agenda to find the worst case studies he could find to film.

I have been to the emergency room only once a couple of years ago when I got Pneumonia. I waited only a couple of hours then they had me in for xrays and got me on a antibiotic IV for about an hour. In all I was in the Rockeyview for 4 hours and sent home with some drugs.

Going to an Emergency room for a hurt(I assume sprained) Wrist isn't going to help either. When I was that age I just toughed out such minor injuries. :shrug:

Yeah, that's it's biased crap (just like Moore's POS) that isn't at all representative of the Canadian health care system.

I guess if I visit Harlem or Compton, I'm entitled to the ENTIRE USA is that way too...of course not, just like one hospital in one province isn't the sum of all Canadian health care.

[rawmeat]

I didn't understand the point of showing a closed clinic on Sunday either. The clinic I used in Denver was also closed on Sundays.

[BeaverFever]

What a bunch of crap. Go to a medical clinic on Sunday and surprise its closed! what'd he do next, go to the bank at midnight and claim the financial system is broken because the bank was closed? What doctor is open on sundays, let alone sees patients without apointments?

Then he goes to the ER acting chipper and upbeat, tells reception "its not super urgent" and gives vague descriptions about "numbness" in an arm with no obvious swelling or trauma.

Propagana! And there is a $5 footlong sub here!

They're not just picking on Canada now. Here's one with a British doctor talking about their system.
