Today the Mackinac Center released the remaining installments of this compelling video series: “Doctor Lotteries,” “Breaking the Doctors” and “Power Plays.”
WHAT CANADIANS WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT
THEIR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
As America moves closer to a government-controlled health care system, anxious
Canadians want to set the record straight about life under their country's
“universal” system.
Join the Mackinac Center as it journeys across Canada, documenting harrowing stories from real Canadians of long waits, physician shortages, doctor lotteries, special treatment for insiders and being forced to travel abroad for basic medical care.
They're desperate for a way out. And they want YOU to know about it.
