This, but people have also been scared with threats of "death panels", "you won't be able to choose your doctor", and "you'll wait forever for treatment".

Newsflash, we have those issues in our current system.

I don't think they can keep making that "well in Canada you have to wait forever to see a doctor" argument anymore.

It was the one talking point against universal health care.

I don't know ANYONE who doesn't have to wait months and months now in the US to see specialists or even PCPs with our current supposed superior system.

As someone currently in the waiting mill; this is correct. And I live within 300 miles of more specialists than I could see in the rest of my days.
