The title of the article is, after all, "Debunking the Myths of the
Canadian Health Care System." Would one not expect it to be addressing only
one
side of the question??

It doesn't matter that the author is a flaming left-winger, nor that she
might not display the best decorum in her communicaitons, the important
point
is whether the explosion of the myths are true or not.

To that end, I would not characterize what is being said about the Canadian
system by the opponents of Obamacare to be "overblown", but rather out and
out lies and fabrication.

When the vocal and vehement opponents of the proposals say (as they do
loudly and repeatedly) that Canadians cannot choose their doctor, people have
to
pay out of pocket for essential healthcare and come to the US to get it,
doctors work for the Canadian government and hospitals are owned by the
governemnt .... that is not overblown, it is out and out mendacity.
