Canadian Healthcare: no Utopia

When American leftist celebrities want to move to Canada because Donald Trump won the election, I'm like "No thanks, we're good." But then I see stuff like this and I start to wonder...

Jokes aside, this is no laughing matter. And to be honest, this is not an exaggerated story.  Wait times for even emergency room visits are abysmal. Healthcare in Canada, despite having many excellent doctors, nurses and other health care workers, is truly sub-par. When you can go to the hospital for anything for free, demand skyrockets. Resources get spread thin; be it doctors, Xray technicians, MRI machines, operating rooms, or whatever else. Wait times skyrocket. And while people wait, they get sicker. 

The upshot is that 'free' healthcare means bad healthcare. And for the record; it ain't free. Our taxes are abysmal too. Someone has to pay all those costs, and it turns out it's the taxpayers.

Here's another take:

Sunday Not Funnies: United States of Obamastan

This might have been funnier to the select few not in Obama's thrall back in 2009, but I was on Big Government yesterday morning being disturbed by this image, while simultaneously enjoying the wit of both Jason Bradley and Stephen Marche concerning Obama-worship. There are still those it turns out, who deify The One.

While I'm sure they are loath to elevate Captain O to a religious level (they aren't religious after all), I can still envision their O-topian future in the United States of Obamastan (en route to the new name of the Democratic People's Republic of Obama).
