HA and HA... This is what I've been saying for years about Canada's nightmarish healthcare system, yet there are these liberal/socialist shills out there, propagandizing how wonderful is Canada's healthcare, when in fact it's a miserable shambles.
"A short-term achievable goal would be to accelerate the process of getting electronic medical records into physicians' offices," she said. "That's one I think ought to be a priority and ought to be achievable." A long-term goal would be getting health systems "talking to each other," so information can be quickly shared to help patients. www.google.com...

Fair enough, if healthcare is not to be "socialized", then don't charge $100k to set and pin a broken leg.. because thats exactly where the US problem has arisen.

The Canadian Medical Association is by no means an "extreme minority." These are the people struggling to provide the care you are so thankful for.
Be grateful you were taken care of when Canada still could.
That time is OVER.

Didn't I read here somewhere that the British NHS is the third largest employer or the third largest "business" in the world.

None of us - that I have noticed, live in socialist dystopias. If you dont think your government can be trusted to run healthcare then maybe, just maybe, you should be asking more of your government, rather than outsourcing key industries to private companies that are only after profit and could not care less about your wellbeing.

True, that. NHS is the 3rd largest 'business' in the entire world!
And it is BANKRUPT!

Doctors these days no longer look at patients' overall health or prevention (which is specifically disallowed by medical insurance, which is provided by companies often owned by Big Pharma).
So of course medical systems are imploding. The foundation sucks.

What on earth are you talking about. Do you have any sources for this utter garbage you are talking? Do you even know what bankrupt means?
The US spends twice as much per capita on health as the UK - manages to have an infant mortality rate which is double Britain's and leaves one fifth of its citizens with no access to preventative medicine.
