Castonguay now "advocates contracting out services to the private sector". The creator of Canada's health care mess has had a change of heart about his creation apparently. The article also states that lotteries are held to award appointments with the local family doctor. Incredible!

People are delusional if they think another government sponsored socialist program will work. They all fail and they are all illegal at the federal level under the Constitution and they are all immoral in that their very nature seeks to redistribute income. America a free society with free economics and a limited government that protects the rights of its citizens; it doesn’t invent new ones and plow over the old ones to get there... although that is exactly what is happening. Limited government for this Constitutional Republic and nothing less (or more in this case).

almost all of the drugs that people were screaming were making seniors choose between their medication and eating in the Clinton health care push, are now generics and available for $4 at Wal-mart, Walgreen’s etc. What government program ever did that?

Oregon Health Care: Suicide is Painless–and Cheaper

Officials began drawing names last week for a chance at some rare openings in the state’s [socialist] healthcare plan.

Excerpt:

Back in the 1960s, Castonguay chaired a Canadian government committee studying health reform and recommended that his home province of Quebec — then the largest and most affluent in the country — adopt government-administered health care, covering all citizens through tax levies.

The government followed his advice, leading to his modern-day moniker: “the father of Quebec medicare.” Even this title seems modest; Castonguay’s work triggered a domino effect across the country, until eventually his ideas were implemented from coast to coast.

Four decades later, as the chairman of a government committee reviewing Quebec health care this year, Castonguay concluded that the system is in “crisis.”

“We thought we could resolve the system's problems by rationing services or injecting massive amounts of new money into it,” says Castonguay. But now he prescribes a radical overhaul: “We are proposing to give a greater role to the private sector so that people can exercise freedom of choice.”

Castonguay advocates contracting out services to the private sector, going so far as suggesting that public hospitals rent space during off-hours to entrepreneurial doctors. He supports co-pays for patients who want to see physicians. Castonguay, the man who championed public health insurance in Canada, now urges for the legalization of private health insurance.


So what do our candidates push?

UNIVERSAL government run health care!!!

I can’t wait until we get it here. The more problems it has, the more “remedies” the lefties will come up with, more money will be spent, and the more problems it will have. It will be a bottomless pit of foolishness and expenditures. Oh, what fun for our country.
