[QUOTE="ExodusMe, post: 71118728, member: 394919"] That might be a nice soundbyte, but it doesnt make sense. Canada has also treated healthcare as a commodity. That is why you have waiting lists. To control demand. Worse, healthcare cannot-not be a commodity. There is only so many healthcare professionals, so many hospitals, etc.. etc.. It is the equivalent of saying food is a human right, so food should be free and not a commodity. You cannot make food not a commodity. There is only so much food, so many workers, so much farmland, etc... You don't understand what you are saying. It is possible to have a free market healthcare system. That is why people should get insurance. Insurance spreads the risk of the occurrence of a major event. If you choose not to get insurance, then you assume the risk yourself. I live within 40 minutes of 3+ major hospitals. We could go to any one. They are ran by different companies. They are not a monopoly. [/QUOTE]
