Long wait for care

Canada has government-sponsored health-care system similar to what Obama is promoting.

In Canada, if you have a health problem, they put your name on a waiting list and you endure the pain (or die) until it's your turn. Rather than wait, many cross the border and come to the United States for medical care.

If Obama's health-care proposal is adopted, we will have the option of a long wait or crossing the border — south. If President Obama's health care plan is accepted, Mexico will have a better health-care system than we do.
