Must-See Undercover Exposé of Socialized Healthcare!

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.

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?
