[0:00]" The -- Walsh in Boston President Obama traveling to Cleveland today where he will visit the Cleveland clinic holding it up as an example of the way that he would like to see American health curable. Doctors at Cleveland clinic and paid salaries and they're not predicated on. How many patients they see Europe how many procedures they do intensely order that's the sort of thing that the president would like to see American health care turning into. What about a nearby national health care system one about Canada with free health care for everyone. Is that a model doesn't work. Sally pipes is -- its fears the president of the Pacific research institute a think tank and share for Cisco and previously as a Canadian.

Excellent candidate took over that helped get that -- they get a -- in. And private health care so Canada has the true single Payer government run health care and of the problem here is that you -- the ethnic over the pistons in the -- but -- doctors are paid more and everybody that -- happy. But after a couple of years the government realized that what they predicted the program would cost could be greatly exceeded. And they had other government program they wanted to support and though they had the a global -- in candidate today they. 10% of their gross domestic product and health care where -- in America and 16%. But the problem is that the demand for health -- much greater than the government appeared to -- and as a result."
[1:54]" In candidate today we have long waiting lists for care the average -- from being currently your doctor to getting treatment I've actually. Is seventeen point three weeks. That over four months. You know people that need an MRI the -- bring him by his performance so people in Canada. What would you hear you know that Canada has universal coverage. "
[2:17]" And that she can't -- o'clock when of the Canadian Supreme Court said in the declaration which opened up private health care for the province of Quebec only yes. Canada has universal coverage they don't have universal access."
[2:30]" Access to a waiting list did not act that the."
[2:32]" So while it may be less expensive some perhaps significantly less expensive per capita than it is in the United States. It's inadequate in your view what are if there were to be more money spent on national health care. In Canada is is it a model as it exists which better funded. Would be more appropriate and could serve as the -- paradigm for this country."
[2:56]" Well I think that is not -- I think the answer is opening up the Canadian health care system more private alternative."

[3:11]" Karen competition. With the government can you know Canadian cabinet they now. They come to the United States and pay out of pocket -- Japan when -- long waiting -- and -- Canadians. Middle income Canadians do that."

Has one episode of any woman in. -- believe it's a Detroit crossing the border to Windsor Ontario and trying to get Canadian healthier because. She figures if you show up it's free free for everybody."
[4:16]" While -- is not free and Michael Moore I would I had a cameo appearance -- particular except. An interview I'd done it Bill O'Reilly saying while it might need help it with a long waiting list ration care and lack of acceptability technology. You know the people if the people in Canada when that survey if they need to have."
[4:35]" help they need healthcare and expressed slight scare everyone is up in -- about it when the Canadian Supreme Court made a ruling that it was the ban on private health care and private. Insurance with the legal because of the long waiting list."
[4:47]" You know someone in America can come to Canada and pay out of pocket -- the head of the line but that's not -- waited -- Canadian and it's not -- Canadian paid dearly. In their taxes in poor health care and they don't have access to it."
[5:01]" And -- say that you -- when when it the president said. State that we need universal coverage in a country like Canada has universal coverage. "
[5:10]" Well in addition to the waiting list. 17%. Of the Canadian population five million out of 33 million are just waiting. To get a primary care doctor and 750000. Canadians aren't waiting list just to get with Egypt and I'm very worried about Obama's plan particularly."
[5:27]" That the public auction which is then all of the bill the Senate how they'll let the president reiterated I. If we get the government run insurance. Plan public option to run parallel and compete with private insurance I'd be private insurance companies being crowded out. Employers have been removed if people could be in public plan and we are all going to be getting Medicare for all health care system. The work we get good published by -- Jeff Anderson. A couple of weeks ago that. The interesting thing is that in 1970 in America Medicare and Medicaid have clocked 35%. More than than private coverage. So you know government programs they're not in the sense that they're more sense that and then they'll actually equality."
