In Jeff Hawkes’ column “Canada care, through eyes of its citizens,” LaMar Weaver compares the healthcare he had received in the USA with his experience in Canada: “There are some (Canadians) who would complain, for sure. But for the most part, I think they would be well satisfied when they look down to the States and hear about the hassles and those who aren’t covered.”
WATCHDOG: A poisonous combination of ‘American Exceptionalism’ (defined as whatever we do here must be better per se than what others nations do) and hundreds of millions spent by the health care lobby has resulted in the spurious notion that our dysfunctional medical system is superior to the single payer systems found elsewhere in the world.
Those of us with family and friends in Canada know better. Canada provides superior health care at two-thirds the cost.
Two shakes of the tail for Hawkes’ brave report!
