Univeral health care does NOT work! When is the government going to realize this? The only thing that happens when universal health care is put into place is our taxes go up and up and up. Ask a Canadian how much their taxes have increased since they implemented so called universal health care. Ask them how long they now have to wait to see a doctor or how long they wait for surgery. Universal health care is just one more step towards towards the government interferring in our lives. Langevin is whacked out on this one!
