- Jack Layton: In defence of Canadian health care
-
Canada's health-care system has come in for a drubbing in the battle over U.S. health-care reform. Critics, many of them Canadian, have pointed out its flaws and warned Americans against adopting a similar system. NDP leader Jack Layton countered the criticism, in an article originally carried in The Huffington Post:
Last week a new study showed that 92% of Canadians would recommend their doctor to friends and family. Two-thirds have had their doctor for over five years and 85% of Canadians have a regular doctor.
Does that sound like the health care system depicted in the right-wing Republican-backed smear campaign against Canada?
No care for life-threatening conditions, no choice, exorbitant costs, bureaucrat control, poor outcomes -- these are the bogeymen of the right-wing smear campaign. And like all bogeymen, once you look under the bed they don't exist.

Overall I Agree With Layton
From personal experience I would have to give our medical system an A+. Admission, diagnostics, treatment and follow up were addressed in a timely and professional manner by the medical and ancillary personnel.....
