Canadian Doctor on Sanders’ Podcast Notes Year-Long Wait Under Canadian Single-Payer

Via Billy


A Canadian doctor appearing on Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I., Vt.) podcast highlighted the year-long wait times in a health care system similar to the one that Sanders supports.

Dr. Danielle Martin appeared on Sanders' podcast, the Bernie Sanders Show, to discuss the Canadian single-payer health care system. Sanders' Medicare-for-all bill, which went to the Senate floor on Wednesday with 15 Democratic co-sponsors, is intended to create a similar system in the United States.

Sanders brought up some misgivings Americans may have about living under a health care system similar to Canada's.

"There is concern about waiting time, for example," Sanders noted.

  1. A year? Heck that's fast. I lived in Ireland for a few years and I knew people were waiting for a hip replacement for 5 years under the "Health Service Executive" (Government run healthcare). Trouble is the people thought that was the standard period. Shows what being bombarded by government B.S. works for most peasants.
