Health Care Poll

Tonight i went online to that chat site 'Omegle.' On there i asked Europeans and Canadians if what they though of their health care system and if they liked it and were pleased with their care.

Now i only managed to poll 30 people, but if you've ever been on that site you understand that is a lot and hard to get.

Of those 30 people, 21 said no and only 9 said yes.

The reasons some people gave were; long lines, it's not free in the long run, not enough access to care, and inefficient.

Even one who said it was 'nice' and they 'like it' admitted that the queues are long and if your lucky you'll wait a month to see a specialist.

Others explained the care was inferior when i asked them about the fact that US cancer survival rates are about 65% whereas Europe is 47%. They said most drugs are not accessible.

Here is an example of one who was very shall we say firm in his opinion.
