Nationalized Healthcare

Here's an AP story from last year:
"Rare identical quadruplets born in Montana
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Identical quadruplet girls born to Canadian couple in Great Falls, Montana
Babies, all in good condition, weighed between 2.15 and 2.6 pounds
Doctor: Chances of giving birth to identical quadruplets about one in 13 million
Girls born in Montana because Calgary hospitals were at capacity"

The BBC adds: "Health officials said they checked every other neonatal intensive care unit in Canada but none had space."

So, not only are there incredibly long waits for MRIs, hip replacements, and such - you have to wait to have your babies, too! But babies are notoriously stubborn about waiting for the bureaucrats to accommodate them.

I think a lot of people think that if the US nationalizes health care, the system will be pretty much just like it is now, only free! Are people really that naive? And think of our neighbors to the north - if the US ends up getting nationalized health care, too, where will the Canadians get their urgent care from?
