Does Canada have any oversupply of physicians, medical supplies, or medical equipment?
Hurricane Julie asked:
A lot of people are against Universal Health care in the U.S. because they fear that waiting lines would be very long. But I read that we currently have about 30% oversupply of physicians, medical equipment and supplies, while the demand is expected to raise by only 15%. =/

The real point is “health” care. In Canada, you don’t hear the horror stories. Example my bro-in-law paid $15,000 for back surgery in the U.S. He was disappointed it was not better. Years later had an exam in Europe where the doctor said “no surgery was done”. Our docs are sincere about fixing more than bilking.
