So, you want public health care?

Take it from this Canadian couple, who just gave birth to identical quintuplets. (No, they didn't use fertility drugs.)

I immediately thought it strange that this couple from Calgary, Alberta, had their baby in Great Falls, Montana. Reading on, I found out why.

The Jepps drove 325 miles to Great Falls for the births because hospitals in Calgary were at capacity, Key said.

"The difficulty is that Calgary continues to grow at such a rapid rate. ... The population has increased a lot faster than the number of hospital beds," he said.

That's another way of saying, "Socialized medicine doesn't work!!"

If Canadian health care were private, the number of hospitals would naturally expand with the population. Even if space in hospitals were tight, there's no way Canada's third largest city (about the size of San Antonio, Texas) would be completely out of room in their hospitals under a private health care system.

We can dispute how to properly care for the population that can't afford health insurance and whether or not that's the government's responsibility all day, but one fact remains clear: public health care absolutely does not work to adequately meet the people's needs. With a lack of entrepreneurship, these state-run hospitals are sluggish to change with updated technology and adjust to market demands (such as elementary changes like an increase in a metropolitan population that results in more children being born than than before...go figure...).

I could go on and on with this subject, but I think I've made my point. Public health care would devastate the American current health care system.
