Belinda – I would like to thank you, on behalf of all the little people, the middle class, for preserving our marvelous single tier health system. We are so glad that you do not have to suffer with it yourself.
The health care system in Canada is full of good people, but it is such a bad system that the levels of service can be appalling. Imagine Microsoft owning and managing the only grocery chain allowed in a country. How good do you think the service and selection would be? How innovative would the store be? How many people would be lined up at the border to shop on the other side?
Capitalism is the only moral and practical way to deliver any good or product, let alone an expensive and labor intensive one like health care. When you add the fact that there is potentially an unlimited demand for the service, it is simply impossible to deliver it with quality, with any other delivery system. Stronach and her ilk – every other politician in Canada – makes me sick and there is no cure on the horizon for that malady.
