    Welcome to Canada where the median wait time to receive medical treatment is 18 weeks. Coming soon to the U.S. thanks to Obamacare.

    The national median wait time was 18.2 weeks, about three days longer than last year, according to Waiting Your Turn, the 2013 edition of the Fraser Institute’s annual report. In 1993, the median wait time was 9.3 weeks.
    ...
    The longest median wait time was in Prince Edward Island at 40.1 weeks; the second longest was New Brunswick at 31.9 weeks.

    The shortest median wait was in Ontario at 13.7 weeks; the second shortest was in Quebec at 17.8 weeks.

    Manitoba’s wait time was 25.9 weeks, Nova Scotia’s was 25.8, Saskatchewan’s was 25.7, Newfoundland and Labrador’s was 23.7, Alberta’s was 23.1, and British Columbia’s was 19.9.

  4. Who cares how long you have to wait, so long as it's FREE! (Well, some will die during the wait... and large numbers will suffer for extended times.. but no biggie.... compared to, you know, the benefit of ... FREE!)

  8. Though vehemently denied (just like Odumbo's promise, "If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it and your doctor"... we now know that was ONE BIG FAT LIE)... Odumbocare includes DEATH PANELS... no biggie, I guess, until it's your parents.. or you.

    WHEN THE FUCK ARE PEOPLE GOING TO WAKE UP?? HOW MUCH MORE OF THIS SHIT ARE WE GOING TO PASSIVELY TAKE UP THE ASS??
