The problem is, we have a health care monopoly. If doctors within the system won't treat them, there is no where else for these patients to go.

This would be comparable to your HMO refusing to treat you, after you've been making payments your whole life. If an American HMO tried that on a wholesale basis, it would quickly lose its client base to competitors. Canadians don't have any alternative to the public monopoly.

That makes sense. However, in the light of such potential behavior from the State, we must seek a more healthy life as insurance against asinine policies.

We can greatly limit the problems we would need to bring to a doctor. As conservatives, such a "can-do" attitude should already be a part of each of us.

Canadians have two health care systems, one in Canada and one here in the US.

Do you not have the ballot box?

"Canadians don't have any alternative to the public monopoly."

Change the government, change the laws.

Have a Revolution.
