Access to Health Care | CBC National

For different resolution, try this link: Angelina Jolie’s Cancer Surgery | Access to Health Care | Sunday Panel – The National – CBC Player.

Highlights:

• How dare Angelina Jolie have access to better care than everyone else.
• Private healthcare is like closing 1 lane of a highway.
• Private healthcare is like adding 1 lane to a highway.
• Every country in the world allows people to purchase care, to treat their own bodies as they see fit (except Canada and N. Korea. Cuba changed recently).
• Everyone gets decent care in Canada. Stop whining!
• People suffer on wait lists. Some are paralyzed for life.
• We need a government sponsored, universal system as a base.

Let me know what I missed. I found it rare to have the CBC allow Medicare doubters any airtime. Is the CBC sensing the inevitable?

I’d love to hear what you think!
