The Future of KerryCare...

...is on display north of the border...

For years, socialized medicine advocates have trumpted the success of Canada's universal health care system as a model for the United States. Here's the problem: it doesn't work...

Reuters is the news agency that refuses to call terrorists by their name, so they're not exactly what anyone would call right-of-center. So when Reuters runs a story saying that things in a socialized world are bad, you can probably bet it's even worse than reported. But let's assume the facts on the ground are as reported in Reuters, then the reality of John Kerry's healthcare proposal is a future of misery for Americans.

Right now, we have the highest quality medical care in the world. People come from around the world to places like Johns Hopkins, or the Mayo Clinic or any number of top-notch world-famous medical facilities around this country to be treated...That all comes to an end if KerryCare comes to the United States. Think I'm wrong? Off the top of your head name even one medical facility in Canada...How about the UK? Exactly...

Read this article, and decide for yourself if this is the medical system you want for your family...
