David Gratzer, a physician licensed in Canada and the U.S., wrote a response to M. Moore’s “Sicko” in the WSJ yesterday. Some facts and quotes from the piece:
In 2005, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that “access to wait lists is not access to health care,” striking down key Quebec laws that prohibited private medicine and private health insurance.
As stated by a Canadian Doctor: Canada is a country ” in which dogs can get a hip replacement in under a week and in which humans can wait two or three years.”
