The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

On June 28, the Fox News Channel featured MPI fellow Stuart Browning on Your World with Neal Cavuto, where he reacted to the media circus surrounding the release of Michael Moore's Sicko and discussed his own series of short films on single-payer health care.

Questioned by Cavuto, Browning acknowledged that patients in single-payer systems pay less than half of what Americans spend on private insurance -- but noted how these putative "savings" are offset by unacceptably long waiting lists and inferior treatment. Canadians can wait up to four years for othopedic surgery, he pointed out, while others in single-payer systems literally die waiting for "free" medical treatment: More than forty percent of cancer patients in the United Kingdom never see an oncologist. Browning cautions Americans to think long and hard about whether they want to inflict such a system upon themselves.
