Canadians routinely must wait even months for routine medical tests and even for surgery. Canadians cannot see a medical specialist until after they are given permission by a general practitioner. Although people complain that too many Americans go to emergency rooms for medical care, Canadians do much the same thing, since they do not need to wait as long in an emergency room as they do to get care otherwise. Most of Britain's hospitals were built as charitable institutions, like Los Angeles' famous Catholic and Jewish hospitals, but the British National Health Service, which took over all those hospitals, has built NO new ones. It is charity , especially religious charity, that has always dealt with the helpless and indigent with compassion.
Public charity deals with the helpless and indigent as numbers.
Or are they going to do as little as they can get away with. Proposition 186 actually wants doctors and nurses to form public employee unions to bargain with the State. Such unions are already a plague on the public. When you deal with anyone whom you do not pay, they don't need you. You do, after all, pay them through taxes, but you cannot withdraw your taxes if you don't like their service.
