Socialized medicine does not work. If it did, (1) people in Canada needing MRIs would not be going to the veternarians offices where pets can receive same day MRIs whereas people have to wait up to six months and (2) if socialized medicine was so effective, why is it that so many of the new life saving medicines, equipment, surgeries, and procedures being created and developed in the United States and not in Canada or Europe????

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
