Or it could just be the result of privatized system for healthcare.

Remember this video from Steven Crowder on how the public system works in Canada. On the weekend he went to get a blood test which had him and his friends not getting access from one government/public-plan clinic and at another having to wait in nearly a 3-hour line.

obamacare_doctorYeah, well one of my liberal friends couldn’t bring himself to watch the full 10 minute video, but deemed himself educated enough to make a snarky (yet WRONG) evaluation. He said that Crowder’s research was incorrect and that it would be the same if you went to the hospital in the US through the private system.

Errrrrrr…..which brought me to MAH experience (for nearly 10 examples of how wrong that argument is just this year alone). I’ve been having to get a lot of blood tests done this year and I’ve dealt with a variety of setups (all private and paid for through my insurance Cigna). Sometimes it’s through an appointment and other times it is just walking up to the reception and asking to get blood drawn.

But apparently my experiences with this, although true, are not enough evidence to show how much better our private system is. My liberal friend still demanded that our private system doesn’t work and therefore we need a public system like Canada’s. Yes, he said this even though he his reason was that Crowder’s experiences didn’t count because he went through a public system and not by the means of a private system. So, doesn’t that mean our private system is better than a public one…No, according to my liberal friend. Whaaaaaaat? Exactly.  He’s too smart to be this stupid in his arguments, grabbing at straws but oh well.

So imagine my “surprise” when this Sunday – SUNDAY, people, SUNDAY! – when I literally walked up with NO APPOINTMENT to the reception desk at the hospital to take a blood test. I was given one of those beeper machines, it went off within minutes, I registered (and the check in clerk set it up so that I wouldn’t have to register the other times I come in this month – imagine that happening under a public option, yeah right), and then within 20 minutes – no joke 20 minutes – I was walking in the parking lot done with my blood test. Again, a blood test I had no appointment for and went in to get on the weekend, specifically a Sunday, at noon.
