Foreign Health Care Experiments

Dr. Anne Doig, the incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association, said her country’s health care system is “sick” and “imploding,” the Canadian Press reported. Ouellet (current President of the CMA) has said that “competition should be welcomed, not feared,” meaning private health insurance should have a role in the public health system. "(Canadians) have to understand that the system that we have right now — if it keeps on going without change — is not sustainable,"

So, the single payer Canadian system is failing. Mr. Obama said in 2003 that he favored a single payer system. Recently he said that he never said he wanted a single payer system. This is a continuation of the lies that are coming from Washington in spite of Mr. Obama's campaign pledge to change the way things work in Washington.

The highly touted French system - which resulted in the death of Princess Diana - is running a 50 billion deficit which is not sustainable.

This is where were are headed folks, if we allow the liberals and socialists to create a government run health care system. Speak up now to your Senators and Congresspersons or shut up and take it in the wallet and your physical well-being.

The Health Care Debate

The battle against the socialist health care bill is heating up. Today the topic was the rumor that the bill contained a provision that elderly people would be forced to have a discussion with their doctor about their plans for end of life care, leading some to believe that the bill was authorizing euthanasia. The liberal counter attack corrected the rumor that the provision only provided that doctors would be reimbursed for having an optional discussion about end of life care. So now all was alright with the bill and its benign provision.

Or was it? Think about it. This is exactly the tenant of the liberal big government agenda - control over your life. Can you imagine the government delineating all of the things that a doctor is allowed (paid for) to talk to you about. What about all of the things not mentioned in the bill? Since the doctors will not be paid for them, you will not get that advice. Shouldn't doctors be able to make their own decisions about discussion with patients?

Email you legislators and tell them you don't want government control of health care.
