Why we don’t want National Healthcare -

When the former prime minister of Italy needed heart surgery, he came to the U.S. 

When the Minister of Health in Canada found out she had breast cancer, she came to the U.S. for healthcare.

About 7,500 foreiners come to the John Hopkins last year alone.

Survival rates for almost any disease is higher in the U.S.

The U.S. drives much of the medical innovation in the world.  18 of the last 25 medical nobel prize winners live/work in the U.S.

The more the government gets involved, costs go up, quality goes down, waits go up,  choice goes down…

Canada has over 800,000 people on waitlists for care…   Many in chronic pain, and some may die due to lack of care.

750,000 people in the U.K. are on waitlists.  Treatable illnesses like cancer go untreated, and become untreatable by the time people get care.

and on and on…
