[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]I have friends both in Canada and the UK where they have Socialized Medicine. They still have to buy Private Health Care insurance because if they would ever have something serious happen to them like cancer it takes them months to get into a specialist. If they have Private insurance they can get in next day. [/size][/#808000][/font]

[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]A couple of years ago one of my friends in Saskatoon Saskatchewan was diagnosed with early stages of Testicular Cancer and he didn't have Private insurance and the soonest he could get into a specialist was 90 days under the Governments medical program. Unfortunatly he couldn't get private insurance because he was already diagnosed with cancer so he had to wait the 90 days, and by time he finally got into a specialist his cancer had spread so far he died a few months after. But I guess there was one good thing that Socialized health care gave him, he didn't have to pay any medical bills just to die anyways.[/size][/#808000][/font]

[font "Tempus Sans ITC"][#808000][size 3]Unfortunatly I think we will have some form of Socialized Health Care no matter who gets elected (except Romney) so hopefully it will be ran alot better than the countries that have set a precedence.[/size][/#808000][/font]
