Jr doctors are permitted to work only a 48 hr work week which results in a shortage of doctors and doctors' refusal to see patients after they have worked their limits
Dentists who have met their quota of patients for the year stop seeing patients because they do not get paid more for seeing more patients
Average wait of 7 weeks to receive diagnosis
Patients needing treatment in the U.K. head to Malaysia for treatment, which is now termed "medical tourism"
Canada's National Health Program is in no better shape than the English system according to reports from US observers
Socialized medicine is always a SINKING SHIP!!

I am hoping that sometime before the Presidential Debates that Mitt comes out with a specific health care plan. I say that to say this. It is not enough to just say we are going to abolish Obamacare--- you need a specific plan to replace it. In addition, most know it will have no chance to get through the Senate unless we (The Grand ol' Party) wins the Senate.
Medicare then is a sinking ship. Wait aren't most of us on Medicare?
No doubt our health care is a "mess" ----just have a need to use it when you have a serious and complicated illness. Bottom line if Romney doesn't have something besides "I'm going to abolish Obamacare" he is likely to come out on the "short in" of that debate. Lets hope his Advisor's and staff come up with something before too long.
