With Hellary care, everything will be “take two aspirin and die”.

I want the left wing democrats to have free health care and I want the doctors that provide that free health care to be a graduate from an affirmative action University. Let me pay for my health care, I will not impose my will on anyone. Just stay out of my life.

Socialized Medicine aka Universal Health Care PING LIST

FReepmail me if you want to be added to or removed from this ping list.

NDP Health Critic Adrian Dix says the issue is one that's continued to plague the Lower Mainland and he's blaming Liberal government cuts to acute care beds.

Playing politics with health care...that wouldn't happen here. /S! Even though socialized medicine is failing every place it has been tried the loony libs believe that they can make it work...they just need to put the "right" people in charge. Unfortunately their conceit, stupidity and power grabs are going to get the rest of US killed.

else she’d be bankrupt by now, if not dead.

Dead? Are you implying that the hospital wouldn't have treated her, would have turned her from the ER? Would have let her die? Doesn't happen...liberal kool-aid.

Bankrupt because she wouldn’t have used the local alternative of a hospital (she put off going to the emergency room for days, assuming it was the flu, not a ruptured appendix), she would have returned home, and likely had to charter a medical flight when her condition was noticed at the airport.

Dead because I sincerely doubt that she would have received as much timely care under the medical system of Canada, which likely would have advocated removing her from specialized care by this point.

No, I don’t think she would have been turned away by the local hospital, her travel insurance likely ran out a while ago, yet she’s still receiving intensive care.

Got it. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
