Default Re: Sicko Revisited

I am generally in favor of universal health care but there is one point my doctor raised.

I recently had back surgery and my doctor was a Canadian who had moved to the United States to practice. I asked him what his view of it was and he said he was against it because the Canadian government required him to purchase specific instruments for surgery and not the ones he preferred. He felt that he was needlessly putting patients at minor risk by not being able to used tools that he had been trained on.
