I watched a good friend in the U.K. who died (bled to death) waiting for an operation to be scheduled under National Insurance. I recently lost a friend in Canada who had a triple bypass done ("free:") under their national health care law with bad procedures and inadequate blood thinner testing. In the good old USA, prior to Obamacare, my dad had a triple bypass at 63 and he is now 94. The difference shows.
