Why is it that damn near every time a person who has to navigate the Socialized Medicine clusterfuck in another country, they usually have few good words for it? Take this guy up in Canada with the fancy title and all that who dared to speak out about the problems with CanuckCare in this article. 

The pitch for change starts Sunday with a presentation from Dr. Robert Ouellet, the Association's outgoing president.  He has called for a patient-centred system and that could mean a role for private health care delivery within the public system.

Meanwhile Dr. Robert Ouellette, the outgoing president of the CMA, says he's worried about where we're headed.  The Montreal radiologist says the system could implode if we don't make changes.

Ouellette says wait times are the big worry to both patients and those in the medical communities -- doctors, nurses and therapists.  "It is possible to have a universal system without significant wait times {how? By having unicorns manage the system? Wait times are inherent in a rationed system. I don't have a fancy degree, and even I can see this one-ed.}.  This is the goal we want to achieve in the transformation we want to implement."

Yeah, there were other people quoted int the article who still support CanuckCare as it is, but fuck them, so there you go.
