Finding a doctor under ObamaCare will not be as easy as passing a law offering universal health insurance. You have to pay them a decent wage for the skills they have. In fact, a large percentage of American doctors are taking early retirement.
About 1,500,000 Canadians don’t have or cannot easily find a primary care physician. In one instance, a TV video showed a town clerk pulling names of lucky winners to see a doctor in a lottery. Losers had to wait.
That’s only one reason many sick Canadians have come to America for surgery. Canadian officials call much of what we may consider essential surgery as “elective.”
When we emulate Canada’s or that of the British, or any other universal health coverage version, remember health coverage does not automatically mean health care. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
