Union pulls support for Obamacare, a sign of things to come?

[.blank cd]

In 2011, the Fraser Institute, the top think-tank in Canada, released a report concerning Canada's single-payer healthcare system. According to their study, it is spending at an unsustainable rate. Obama repeatedly lauded the Canadian system as a model for the US when he was running for re-election.

And more:
Waiting Your Turn: Wait Times for Health Care in Canada is the Institute's annual report on hospital waiting times in Canada, based on a nationwide survey of physicians and health care practitioners. The twentieth annual survey, released December 2010, found that the total waiting time between referral from a general practitioner and delivery of elective treatment by a specialist, averaged across 12 specialties and 10 provinces surveyed, had risen from 16.1 weeks in 2009 to 18.2 weeks in 2010.

Obamas response:

“I’ve said that the Canadian model works for Canada,” he said. “It would not work for the United States, in part simply because we’ve evolved differently,” he said. “So, we’ve got to develop a uniquely American approach to this problem.”

When I used to build houses with my dad, whether we were building small single family homes, additions, or million dollar mansions, the framework was the same, and they all had concrete foundations.

And I'm gonna need more than a conservative think tank report on universal healthcare in Canada. Surely, for accuracies sake, it was peer reviewed.

That think tank is ranked #1 out of 97 in Canada, and is recognized by Forbes as libertarian. In fact, they receive donations from Koch Industries (US Democratic party affiliated Koch). Conservatives like to call the Fraser Institute "liberal", and Liberals like to call it "conservative". You dismiss it because you don't like the facts that they report.

"In 2011, the Fraser Institute was ranked No. 1 among 97 think-tanks in Canada, for the fourth year in a row, in the University of Pennsylvania's Global Go-To Think-Tank Index, a global survey of more than 1,500 scholars, policy makers, and journalists. The report also named the Fraser Institute as the only Canadian organization in the Top 30 leading think-tanks in the world in 2011, out of a global group of 6,545 think-tanks."

You believe that you know more about the Canadian healthcare system than the collective at the top Canadian think tank? You really believe that you are open-minded and educated? You are out of touch with reality and intellectuals.

You believe that there is only one way to build a house? You must not know how they build them out of other materials like poured concrete then.
