Good Job Steve! 20 minutes is a long time for my short attention span but, it was a very informative and firsthand look at what the Democrats want to force on us. I second the Oscar buzz.

Funny how supporters of universal health care always point to other countries as shining examples of what government run health care is like. Why don't they ever brag about how superior the government run VA health care system is to this country's private health care system? Strange how I never hear anyone, especially liberals, say, "Boy, I wish I could get some of the superfantastic VA health care."

Awesome video. This should be required viewing by all high school students and deranged leftists. It actually looked like you were taking a trip to Hell!!! Wow, I was so depressed by the end. Sadly, I think this is coming to a theatre near you in the good ol USA………

One big difference between the right and the left — Michael Moore and Al Gore are smart enough to know that 50 – 60% of Americans are willing to spend a substantial portion of their paychecks to see a movie or short like this in a big building that smells like buttered popcorn. Why? Well, one reason is because you get to sit in a big, cushy chair in front of a big screen that looks a little bit like your TV for two hours doing nothing more then, well, sitting in a big, cushy chair in front of a big screen that looks a little bit like your TV. Why the hell doesn't the right ever take its case to television or the silver screen? I'm willing to bet that just because you get to sit in a big, cushy chair in front of a big screen that looks a little bit like your TV, 50 – 60% of Americans would pay to see a movie about how Canada's health care system sucks. Let's grow some testicles, righties!

Incredible! Very well done and so enlightening. What a scary system Canada has. I knew the UK had major issues, but it seems Canada is just as bad or worse. Obama is an idiot if he thinks this will work. Actually, I don't think he seriously does think it will work. He just doesn't care because he is filthy RICH. The rich don't give a rat's behind about us "regular" folk. Keep at it Steve!!

What a great video, Stephen. I've already shared it on Facebook, and I'm asking others to do so. This is what we are going to get if people don't stand up and fight for their freedom. By the way, at the end it looked more like the Lorena Bobbit clinic than anything else. I'm looking forward to the next video to see if you survived your "procedure".

hahahahahaha! "You're young, you have time to wait". PRICELESS.

We need that here, sounds great. I always thought it would be great to see Mike Moore sitting in an emergency room with all the great unwashed. Wait a minute, are you telling me that there would be a two tiered system? Mikey Moore would be able to pay for his special treatment while all the rest of us slaps had to contend with the system he championed? Liberal hypocrisy once again. Anyone surprised?

I had experienced both National Health as well as private care in The UK , pregnant with my second child. Had I kept with the public system the baby would not have been alive or would have been born with major problems. I have so many sad tales from my British friends, sadly a few are now dead from the dreadful care. Your film , understates the true nightmare of socialized medicine!

My jaw hit the ground on that one. Yeah because young people never need health care. -shaking head-

So, you think in a few years we'll all need to head north for decent health care?

A year or two ago, I had to see a doctor. I had no job so I had to go to the County in California. The waits were long.

This was normal.

Obama said it all when he said he would not pledge that his family would only use the government run healthcare that he is setting up for the rest of us. Better believe he will be using the private healthcare for rich people.

I just figured out why Canadians live longer than Americans….they can't get medical care. Obviously, medical care is detrimental to your health!

Canadians live longer because you have to wait in line up to 3 years for a doctor to declare you dead and sign the death certificate… skews the data, eh.

Well if you can't control population through abortion. Public health care seems like a good way to go about it. One more good idea from the left.

[...] Must-See Undercover Exposé of Socialized Healthcare! 2009 July 13 by GAD Must-See Undercover Exposé of Socialized Healthcare! [...]

Have to delurk for this one, Steven… excellent job. I've heard the same thing from other Canadians. A British friend who is not noticeably conservative once told me that in America, old ladies compare costs of hip replacements, whereas in the UK, they compare the number of years they had to wait for it. An Australian friend and a Canadian friend once agreed that while socialized medicine worked fairly well (by their standards) in their home countries, it would never work in the US because there are too many people for the system to handle. And while there will be some people burdening the system with minor ailments because it's "free," the US also has its fair share of people like the father of a friend in East Berlin, who made the whole family go to the doctor at least once a year whether they needed it or not because (my paraphrase) "we're paying for it; we might as well use it!"

The freedom to choose your health care provider is critical. I needed to start seeing a specialist last year, but the only specialist in town was booked up four and a half months in advance. When my condition worsened, I went back to my primary to get a referral out of town, and we found someone equally good half an hour away who could see me the next week. By the time my original appointment had been scheduled, I'd been on the meds I needed long enough to see real improvement, and now the problem is as well controlled as it can be. God alone knows where I'd be now if I hadn't had that choice.

Certainly, our current system needs work. But socialism would only make things worse. And as Zo pointed out a while back, if the government denies you coverage because of a pre-existing condition, where can you go if not to the private sector?

I love Terry Gilliam movies

Steve bravo! I keep waiting from an expose from our national news networks but to no avail. It's not like there aren't 1000s of examples of poor care like in your video around the world. Very sad that this is being set up as such a great thing. It's scandalous.

A typical experience I had on National health includes the time my daughter (5yrs old) broke her arm and we had to wait in the emergency room next to a chair that was soaked in blood for 3 hrs just to get into triage. Not one nurse or anyone came to clean the chair and this was one of the nicer hospitals.

Total time my daughter sat with a broken arm waiting to get it fixed—8 hours! We left at 1am with an appointment to come back for a cast later in the week.

crowder speaks french? that's hot! but canadacare, that's so not!!! do. not. want.

LOL Great comment!

(Part 2) They had no idea. I recommended they listen to a local talk radio station to get the truth and to start educating themselves and talking to their families and their fellow residents. They were shocked. As a sidenote, there is every possibility that my industry (non-nursing home senior care) will die out completely if the proposal passes. And I'll be out of a job. Figures.

WELL I AM TIRED OF THESE NYC LIB'S WHO WOULD RATHER LIVE IN A SOCIALEST SYSTEM THEN A FREE CAPITALIST SYSTEM. I DO'NT CARE IF THE HELATH 'CARE' IS COSTS LESS, I WOUDL RATHER DIE THAN KNOW THAT MY GOVERMENT HAD MORE CHOICE OVER MY CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE THAN I DID, WELL IN CANADA EVEN A DOG HAS MORE CHOICE OVER HIS CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE. LIVE FREE OR DIE, THAT IS THE AMERICAN'S WAY, SO GET IT RIGHT ALL YOU CANADAIN'S!

WELL THIS VIDEO WAS EVEN MORE FUNNY THAN 'MAXIMUM EXPOSURE' BUT YOU'RE VOICE SOUND JUST LIKE THE ANNOUNSER LOL! SO HILARIOUSE!

Is there a 911 emergency ambulance service in the Canadian system? I'm curious as to how that works. Maybe we could all wrap our cars around trees to get in to see a dr. . Oh wait…our cars will be less safe too so maybe that's not such a good idea.

In the U.S. now, the private healthcare system PAYS FOR that care you got. It's SUBSIDIZED by the best healthcare system in the world. If you had been in Canada you might have waited 7 months and lost both legs.

Baaaa Baaaa

Now, if we can just shed light on why US Health Care Costs are rising 3x the rate of inflation:__ __1. Democrats forcing Federally Mandated Coverages onto the backs of employer-based insurance.____2. Low government pays for Procdedures forcing Doctors\\Clinics to charge more for those procedures to the insurance companies to break even.____The whole mess is caused by the Democrats.____Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies__ -Groucho Marx

"The audio and video might be a bit raw… But your watching this for free any way. So… Shut up." – Lol.

Great Vid Steven, thanks for showing the facts.

I think I just might be able to squeeze out $5 a month from my budget if this is the stuff you guys are going to be producing.

Just one personal thing… "Stay clean", we need you to become a politician. =)

Excellent work, expose these frauds for what they are, criminals of the highest degree. I for one don't want to pay two health care costs, what do you think will happen if we all have to pay tax for the health care? People will realize, hell, I am already paying for this in my taxes, why am I going to pay it twice?

I had a friend in Norway who had a bad stomach ache every night whenever he breathed out, he went to the clinic on two separate occasions in a week, both times they told him to take valium and try to get some sleep at night, it was just nerves.

The third night was too much for him, so, he paid the equivalent of 100 bucks US to walk into a private clinic, they ran xrays and blood work and confirmed he had Pancreatic Cancer. Now, while he was in the hospital he paid for nothing while he fought the cancer, BUT he died at 27, one of the smartest guys I ever knew. To get to the highest tier of his nation's socialized medicine he had to have two things going for him, he had to be dying and he had to be young. If you are old and dying in a socialist system, guess what, tough crap, you will be one less mouth to feed for them, if you are young, you can still contribute.

So, in conclusion, if you want the government who can't seem to tie their shoes, running your medical choices, sign up for Obama's health plan. And the end of this piece was the best voice, the guy who CREATED their system in Canada is now looking to US as a model, what else needs to be said, really?

Obama's socialized healthcare is the one initiative that I hope gets passed and implemented quickly. That way all those obama supporters can get a taste of exaclty what they voted for!

Steven, thank you so much for this. I had a heated debate with a Canadian that tried to refute everything you just reported. Of course, this particular person had *private supplement insurance* through their employer. And, they allege *most people have it as well*. I say, bullcrap. Maybe in certain Provinces, maybe with certain employers. But now I am convinced I was debating with an elitist liberal who *had his*, and had no clue as to how it was to be among the working class not fortunate enough to be provided *supplement insurance*.
Spot on, and your French was sexy!

It's OK, though, no worries. Obama has already indicated that if it's a member of HIS family, and he gets a run-around or they tell him they cannot do anything for her within the system, then he WILL take her outside the system and seek the best obtainable private care. Sorta like the public schools are OK for all of DC's kids, but his kids like Chelsea before them will go to Sidwell Friends' School.

So it's all really OK, it's all good, eh?

Now there is a good point. Moore says that they are all healthy in a socialized system. That's because all the ones who needed treatment ARE DEAD.

talk about survival of the fittest.

I'm Canadian and I won't dispute this video, but isn't the move to socialized health care a response some inadequacies in the American system? A friend from work has a daughter who lived in the states. She lost her job and had no health coverage. She needed medical services and it was very expensive out of pocket.How does the American system work in situations like that? She was a unemployed Canadian living legally in the US. I think she married an American. For the record I've never had the problems shown in this video.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Thank you so much, Steven. Brilliant vid. I'm going to email this to everyone I know. My only nit-pick? The part where you say write your congressman.

Dude, my congressman is Henry freakin' Waxman. Might as well put a gun to my head right now.

Great point! That was the highlight of the video. I nearly spewed my tea out of my nose when Steven held up that little deli number.

This stuff always reminds me of the movie 'Brazil', which can be more true to life or what's about to become life. Where the world's ruled by bureaucrats. Why not turn our docs into lifeless bureaucrats? Is there no love for the square peg in the square hole system the left wants us to have? For shame!
Great insightful video!

nightmarish scenario for the USA.. Lets hope 2010 and 2012 sees huge defeats for the leftist clowns. God save America.

Everything Obama is doing is about control and power. He doesn't give a crap about your health care. He is intentionally trying to create such a heavy burden on our economic system that it collapses. It can then be rebuilt in a new and improved version of socialism. The government gets to control and regulate all businesses and how much we are paid. We will all pay 50% to 60% in taxes to cover the expenses of the millions of new Americans that will be allowed into the country. I think it is safe to say they will all become democrats so they can keep their free ride. The Republicans will never again be able to win a national election and the democrats get to stay in power indefinitely.

Two points:

The first is a minor nit to pick with the comparison of U.S. costs (in general, not HC costs) to Canadian costs – you forgot to take into account that CAN$ are still less valuable than US$; e.g. the Canadian Subway bill of $23.41 CAN is actually equal to $20.14 US, a difference of US$1.26, not $4.53. Still more expensive in Quebec, just not quite AS more expensive.

The second is a more fundamental worry over the U.S. adoption of "Canadian-style" HC: It is a poorly-kept secret that US healthcare subsidizes these systems, in more than just in innovation. For instance, Canada and UK advertise lower medicine costs, but most pharma companies will acknowledge that they subsidize the "lower" costs in those markets by marking up their costs in the US, both a much larger and less-controlled market. We are, in effect, the world's safety valve. Were we to "go socialized," that safety valve would be shut off, and the pharmas that cut UK and Canada a break will stop doing so.

It's all so depressing. Obama seems to get everything he wants, and it seems like no one can stop him. Our poor coutry is seriously going down the tubes. My parents are in their 60's and I just turned 40. And I am scared to death of what the future holds in Obamanation. SCARED TO DEATH. This video only confirms everything I have heard about nationalized health care. I will literally cry the day it is approved in the U.S. I will pass this video on… so I can cause others to feel depressed too. No, really. This is our reality now. Life in the U.S., I fear, will never be the same.

"Universal Healthcare" is only an issue to get socialized "care" to the slaves. The elites/politicians will still have their 1st-rate private care (paid for by our labor), while the rest of us get the rationed "care."

Then watch how "healthcare" is never an issue again for the politicians. They got what they wanted (whether Dems or Repubes): the sheeple all under control. The media won't bring it up ever again (you think Charles "Chuckles" Gibson will be down at the public clinic?).

Just like now: our Pravda-USA media just continues to feed the pablum. Say, when's American Idol on anyway?

Palin/Bachmann 2012 !

ToddM that's a brilliant comparison! Creepy how similar it is becoming to real life……..I haven't seen it in years. Got it running on the second monitor as I type…..

Thanks for reminding me of a great film.

If I wasn't giggling through half of the clip, I'd be freakin' terrified.

"The reality is that we have a 2-tier system up here and if you can afford to pay for health care through a private clinic (or if you're a politician or a prison inmate or a sports star) you get to bypass the waiting lists."

Shouldn't that tell you all you need to know about the mind-blowing efficacy of the Canadian system?

I thought the whole point Lib's keep making about socialized medicine was to use preventative testing to reduce long term serious ailments from early detection and reduce the cost. Crowder's friend couldn't even get a blood test for cholesterol.

Hi Steven, I'm from Canada.
It's all too true. You can get better (and faster) treatment for your pet snake than you can for your ailing grandma. It is a lie that we have a single-tier, universally accessible system of "free" healthcare in Canada. If you are a member of a special, privileged class, you can get instant (private) access to any service you need. This class includes (among others) the very wealthy, members of the military, the police, firefighters, high-profile athletes, celebrities (such as they are in Canada), politicians, union members with the right contacts, and yes, even convicted felons–if you're in jail and you need an operation, no one makes you wait for it!

Only "ordinary" middle class Canadians are prohibited from spending their OWN money on private care–unless it's an abortion clinc. We have plenty of private abortion clinics in Canada. The REALLY horrifying thing is that so many Canadians are brainwashed by this myth of "free" universal healthcare, that they would (literally) rather die on a waiting list than change the system. And many do.

I don't believe this nonsense and I'm afraid for the people who do. Some health care is better than NO health care. 15% of this country has no health care and perhaps 50% are underinsured. Many people who need life-saving procedures are turned down by greedy insurance companies because their CEOs want to take home millions of dollars. That's right–they let people die so they can get richer. The right-wingers who believe lies about national health care are doing exactly what the Republicans want–voting against their own interests. This country is turning into a banana republic because the average American is dumb as dirt.

How can you NOT believe it? The facts are right there, staring you in the face. Ignoring them is foolish. I don't think anyone is disputing the fact that the current system we have here in America is in dire need of fixing, but going to socialized medicine is NOT the answer.

The response of the Obama Admin, "We will make sure it works right and not make the same mistakes of the other countries."

1. Let's start by removing every coverage that Congress has imposed on employer-based health insurance in the last 50 years. Did you know that in the TARP bailout legislation, Democrats added over 20 new procedues that employer Health insurance policies had to cover? As soon as we allow consumers to choose what they want their policy to cover, as opposed to Hillary Clinton's elitist friends, we'll see policy costs fall.

Wink-wink-nod-nod…

The irony being the tech diffusion from the United States private system which facilitates innovation is the reason socialized medicine has worked at all.

** Please do every free market capitalist a favor and do a report on Canadian services and therapy available in public education for special needs children vs. private. Thank you.

Wow. The great bogeyman, socialized medicine. For starters there are 10 provinces with 10 different systems in Canada. Plus a federal system for the territories. Its not one homogenous system. Provinces that are wealthy like Alberta, BC, Sask, tend to have better systems. Some provinces like Quebec cover dental work, most don't.

The best socialized health care system in the world by far is France. England is considered to have one of the worst. If you did an expose of privatized health care, there are a lot of horror stories out there about denied care that are just as bad as any if not worse than sociatlized care.

France is always rated the #1 country for health care. The US system wastes a tremendous amount of money on admin. It costs twice as much to insure a person as in Canada but in Canada every person is insured and here 40 million still have no coverage. But they do….they just go to the county hospital and the tax payer pays in the end. And half the time that could have been taken care of for a lot cheaper earlier on if they did have coverage. It makes no sense.

The cost is not on the back of employers in "socialized medicine" countries but on the taxpayer. It is easier for a corporation to survive there ironically. GM"s biggest cost was always retirees medical benefits. I didn't even bother watching this as most American critics simply don't understand it and when I watch them the factual errors are huge. I grew up in Alberta, and I vote republican all the time but for me, this is a no brainer. In the long run it saves more money. There should be a choice above the state run system like in England, but the state run system has to be much better than the state run system in England, more like Canada or France.

Its coming because it only makes sense. Securing the border would help. In Canada they have a problem with Americans trying to get free care……all the time. When is the expose coming on that?

don't forget medical malpractice insurance rates are unexcusable. Many obgyns have left their practice because 250k+ a year for malpractice insurance is not doable. Thanks to Lawyers like obamacorn!

They live longer, cause the sick ones die off young with lack of health care. Skews your statistics to your favor.

Yes you should! We eat nothing but venison at our house. It is so good and good for you!

I really hate the supposed sob stories about people not having health insurance. There are plenty of AFFORDABLE health insurance companies out there for people to buy their own. Just google it and you will see. Even companies like State Farm have hospitalizaiton policies you can buy for less than $100 month. If you are too poor to afford that, THEN YOU QUALIFY FOR FEDERAL ASSISTANCE.

Most people who make enough to buy their own health insurance wont do it because they feel they would rather keep more of their own money and make the taxpayers do it. It is a farce that they cannot afford it.

People need to stop listening to these kind of lies. It is only meant to elicit an emotional response that you will vote with your messed up emotions rather than your head. Please people be smart. Research on your own how easy and inexpensive it is to buy health insurance if it is not provided by your job. Again, if you are too poor to afford these plans then you qualify for federal plans. GIVE ME A BREAK.

But if Michael Moore says I need Universal Health care, then I think i really need it. Cuz Michael Moore is supersmart.

Maybe you cannot get that fantastic new gaming computer, or cut off the digital cable for regular tv, or will have to do without a monthly cell phone bill that is often $200+/month not including texting (I live without a cell phone), but it can be done if you know how to budget your priorities. Just the few I mentioned would save you $500 or more dollars a month.

Again, if you are too poor to afford these plans then you qualify for federal plans. GIVE ME A BREAK.

So if America has the best health care system in the world it must be much better than Canada, Britain, France, Australia, Spain, Italy, Greece, Sweden, Germany, Norway, New Zealand and all the others. Everyone talks about Canada and Britain. What about the rest? No, health care isn't free, just like public school education or police and fireman or electricity or water or parks and roads aren't. But you don't hear people complaining about those things. If America has the better system then it must be worlds better at breast cancer survival rate or prostate cancer and its citizens must live years and years longer. The rest of the world must be in loads of poverty and people sleeping in the streets for all they paid for their health care. But they aren't. And they don't. Isn't this a case of Charlie Brown telling Lucy's statistics to shut up?

There is a difference. It may have cost her a lot of money to get medical service, but she still got the service. The problem with socialized medicine is if the government decides you shouldn't receive medical treatment, you will never get it no matter how much money you're willing to pay.

STEVEN CROWDER …. Please take us on a tour of the VETERANS hospital Process …. Talk to old time Vietnam Vets and see what hospital they like. Take us to see that infamous Reed hospital… Then show us its a two pronged system of socialized where by private for profit medicine is being squeezed out.

And it's run by Quebec'ers–nuff said. I just took my mother-in-law with the same wrist problem yesterday and we waited 10 minutes to see a doctor, had an immediate X-Ray, and then another 20 for the results. And no big bill at the end of the day. Also, it takes me shorter to get appointments with my doctor here than back in the US. In fact, without a Canadian health card, I was only charged $250USD for a full treadmill stress test. In the USA, they charged me $2000 for the same test. And it would take me 3-4 weeks to get the appointment. Plus, I have seen plenty of walk-in clinics closed on weekends in the USA.

Sharon:

You're breaking my heart.

Henry Ford did not make profits by selling low-quality, expensive cars. He got rich from selling inexpensive, high-quality cars. The same is true for hospitals and health insurance. When a company, clinic, or hospital gets a bad rep, it goes broke, gets better, or gets sued. They make profits from being efficient and effective. The competition is forced to keep up and they can learn by imitating what is successful.

Original Social Security and Medicare cost estimates were off by a factor of 10. CBO estimates Gov Healthcare will cost $1.6 trillion. If the past predicts the future, this will be $16 trillion. Comparing a million dollar CEO bonus to Gov Healthcare is like comparing $25 to a $640 million dollar lottery. Have a little perspective, please.

Obama,

We need to spend a Trillion so that we can save more later.

Raise your hand if you have heard this before from Washington.

While this may be true you NEVER hear of a Canadian going into bankruptcy for an operation. And BTW they tend to live LONGER than Americans.

I have never heard of an American doing that either.

Any incident or fake sob story you'd like to share is an isolated incident I am sure. Although I believe that organ transplants are the one operations not fully covered by medicare/medicade, but there are scads of organizations out there that are available to help cover the cost. Not to mention the generosity of American's through fundraisers etc. (which may change with obamacorn's oppressive tax laws on donations). With a socialized system this will be a mute point because the care will be rationed to the point that no patient sick enough to need a transplant will live long enough to see it.

Not sure how Canada deals with transplants, but I would guess it is not the best.

Canadians live longer ONLY because the sick ones die off quickly for lack of health care. It tends to skew the results.

Excellent!! This is exactly what I am talking about. All these bleeding heart liberals want to talk about people going into bankruptcy because of health issues?? Mr. Storm here can be out of pocket $5000 for a major health issue and the insurance company picks up the rest. While $5k is allot, if that bankrupts you, you are either a very poor money manager or you need to be on federal assistance.

THANK YOU MR. STORM! PLEASE SHARE YOUR STORY WITH MORE PEOPLE.

Amen Brother! I lived in Poland for 2 years and after given the run around for 2 weeks between various clinics and hospitals I was given a sling and some cream to rub on my fractured arm. I was in pain to 2 months and was forced to suck it up– because NOBODY WOULD HELP ME. Socialized medicine sucks!

Steven, there you go with that fact thingy again! My God man don’t you know that our Barry knows what’s best for us, he was a community organizer and all. You’re just a smart a$$ white boy who doesn’t have the rich life experiences of a Latina woman? By the way where are the trolls defending “FREE” healthcare, with some insipid argument like, “that woman didn’t need her legs anyway.” Great video Steven I hope free Americans will watch this, eh…hmmm… “masterpiece,” and LEARN!

I do the same thing when I visit this site. If the majority of the posters on this site aren't post op homosexual Marxists having a laugh at your expense, then I'd be very surprised.

A facet you missed: how much do the doctors get paid there? My wife is a pediatrician, working 3+ days a week (plus nighttime call 4x a month) for nearly 30 years in primary care. Her 27 y.o. nephew has a clerical job under contract for a federal agency and makes JUST AS MUCH money. I'm not complaining about our income, but ask yourself: why would anybody spend the 7 years and 100's of kilobucks for a medical degree? Some doctors make the big bucks, but they are almost without exception specialists. Where are your primary care physicians going to come from? The shrinkage will only be accelerated by gov't healthcare.

Interesting you should ask. While one can only assume they do, a 911 call from friends of actress Natasha Richardson, wife of actor Liam Neeson last March was delayed because the city couldn't afford to fly her out by helicopter because the government didn't fund for a helicopter for such emergency 911 calls. Instead it was a 4 or 6 hour drive to get treatment. They're doing their best to save money in a failed healthcare system.

They live longer(and not by much) because 35% of their population isn't obese. That's also why universal heathcare will cost this nation exponentially more than any other nation with universal care. Obese people cost billions. Last year in California alone Obese people cost 41 billion for healthcare and loss of productivity. Additionally, our doctors are slow at adopting new science. For instance, in Germany Cancer isn't treated with chemo. They burn tumors with fewer side effects, less cost, and greater success. Our doctors call it quackery in public and then send doctors over to research it discreetly.

Soup: Actually if she lost her job she may have qualified for medicaid. Its actually much better than universal care in Canada. You don't wait three years. The question though is if her husband worked and how much he made. Too many unknowns.

True. We've essentially been subsidizing the world's pharmaceuticals which is incredibly unfair. The problem is drug companies know if they don't cut them a good deal, other countries will just break our patents. Brazil and China are the most notorious, but all of Europe and Canada pay far, far less than us.

Cream? Oh my!

I didn't vote for him; my neighbors did. Hmm.. Maybe I should put the gun to *their* heads.

What? Are you implying that our "own interests" might not be what the Democrats want to do to-er, for us?

it's the old saying: no one's life, liberty and property are safe when the legislature is in session.

You are EXACTLY RIGHT! I once believed Obama was simply naive and inexperienced. Now, I believe he knows exactly what he's doing, and it is his INTENTION to bring this country to it's knees so that he can rebuild it, with the help of Acorn, control of the census, etc., and keep a Democrap in power from now on, and push his socialist agenda. God help us!

Thanks Patrick!! I knew there must be a name for it. Now we just need to educate people about these morons so they can look out for this kind of cr@p.

After getting over the initial shock & disbelief of what has been happening, I now assume the worst, and so far I haven't been disappointed.

Cap & Trade will pass (in one form or another), so will ObamaCare. I think we'll see a 2nd "stimulus" too.

Expect the Conscience Clause to be repealed, The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child to be passed (remember Obama is suing to pass treaties without the Senate) and expect major blows given to our 1st and 2nd Amendment rights.

Things aren't getting better anytime soon. Things are going to get much, much worse.

In time, we'll see either a) the revival of our sleeping populace, or b) 90% of our gov't edumacated youts being happily fitted for their ObamaCorps greenshirts.

Regardless, it ain't gonna be pretty.

Wow. And I know of situations that mirror these, only worse. The examples used in the video are NOT unusual or unique. They are typical.

This is my friends daughter so I don't know all the details.

You sir, are stupid.

This is such a fabrication. As a Canadian, I can assure you that if you show up at a *real* hospital with a *real* emergency, you will quickly be looked after by top notch doctor. For the those who don' t understand the term 'TRIAGE' what it means is that they asses the urgency of your situation to assign you a priority. Walking in to a hospital and claiming that you have a wrist that is numb means that they will put you *after* the guy who is having a heart attack.

The truth is, no health care system is perfect across the boards. However, given that the average American life expectancy is the lowest of any industrialized nation, you've got to take a closer look at yourselves.

I completely agree with Jumpback's comments. This documentary is propaganda from the conservative side.

If Steve wanted to present a 'truer' picture of Canadian healthcare than Michael Moore, why, of all places, did he choose to go to Quebec? Answer: Because he would not have had much of a documentary otherwise. Most Quebecers know their system is terrible and yes, it is very different from the rest of Canada.

I was born in Lasalle, just minutes from Greenfield Park where this was filmed. I lived there until 1990 at which point I moved to Toronto. I still have family back in Montreal and I can tell you from years of personal experience, Quebec's healthcare system is incredibly bad compared to the rest of Canada. Quebec loves to do things differently and heealthcare is just another one of those things. My family that lives there still complains about how bad the system is. Ontario, on the other hand, has shown me excellent healthcare. I'm not saying that socialized medicine is the best thing for the US, but this mini documentary paints a false picture of Canada's system as a whole.

Absolute garbage…in fact, I am unfriending the person who sent me this crap.

Give me a break! I saw the interview on Hannity tonight and as a proud Canadian this was nothing more than a hit piece. Steven is nothing more than the right wing version of Michael Moore (but not as fat and ugly). I'm just tired of Americans bashing on us. Especially from those who have never lived there and say "I have friend in (insert foreign country here). At least Steven lived in Montreal but his "expose" was unfair. Then again I expected as much from someone who has "liberalism is a disease" on his webpage. My guess is Steven knew the result he wanted from the hit piece and was already biased before he pressed record on the camera.

Yes the system here is not perfect but I would rather have it over the current US system. I have never had a huge problem with my healthcare here. It's easy to find the worst of anything and report it as the norm. I would never go around and tell people the USA is crime ridden and unsafe cause I knew a friend of a friend who was mugged and shot in the USA.

If Americans are happy with their current system great! Just don't tell half truths about the Canada system to get your point across and scare the sheeplike masses.

Great Video on what USA will be like on a small scale if universal health comes into effect! I can't wait for free health care…. Even HIGHER Taxes and prices on goods as well I would imagine.

Thanks Obama

The part about 10:23 in, where Diane talks about her mother – my GOD. My mom had the EXACT same thing wrong – I remember what her toes looked like, all black dead tissue. If they made her wait a year – SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD!!! Oh my god…is this really where were are going? I have been calling and emailing my representatives. Along with that I post comments probably everyday to my facebook page. I don't know what else to do, this scares the hell out of me.
