More fodder for the anti-govt. healthcare debate.
*Private* healthcare is BOOMING in Canada.

*Canada Sees Boom in Private Health Care Business*
Private for-profit clinics are a booming business in Canada -- a country often touted as a successful example of a universal health system.
Facing long waits and substandard care, private clinics are proving that Canadians are willing to pay for treatment.
?*Private clinics don't produce one new doctor, nurse, or specialist. All they do it take the existing ones out of the public system, make wait times longer for everybody else while people who can pay more and more and more money jump the queue for health care services,? said Natalie Mehra, member of the Ontario Health Coalition*.

Now WHY is that so hard to understand?? I imagine the pay is better for the healthcare techs and doctors on the "private" side. Maybe an even better job satisfaction as they can actually HELP someone rather than having to put them off for a YEAR before they can even do the tests to see what actually is wrong!! I'm sure the patients are happy that they can get some kind of timely treatment or diagnosis for their ailments!!
So why are WE rushing TO what Canada and the rest of the nationalized healthcare nations are running AWAY from??
