You were saying ...

All Canadian pigs are equal, but some hypocritical leftist pigs are more equal than others... What a shameless Marxist!

Ummmm..., I don't engage in Canadian politics, but in looking this up, I see that he's in the party that is on the right, not the left... LOL....

Progressive Conservative Party of Newfoundland and Labrador

The Progressive Conservative Party of Newfoundland and Labrador is a centre-right political party in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

For political parties there, it doesn't get any more "right".... :-)

Nice spamming from the WHO from 10 years ago, I’ve seen health care in Greece (number 14), they call ambulances there “meat wagons” for a reason. I lived there for 3 years. Try again.

Are you for real? I hope all of this crud you’re posting has been sarcasm— but I’m getting tired of waiting for the reveal. So here:

Low Health Care Ranking Debunked

John Stossel takes a look under the hood of the WHO study that Michael Moore and so many others make so much of when they push for socialized medicine, and finds, in his words, “less than meets the eye”.

So what’s wrong with the WHO and Commonwealth Fund studies? Let me count the ways.

The WHO judged a country’s quality of health on life expectancy. But that’s a lousy measure of a health-care system. Many things that cause premature death have nothing do with medical care. We have far more fatal transportation accidents than other countries. That’s not a health-care problem.

Similarly, our homicide rate is 10 times higher than in the U.K., eight times higher than in France, and five times greater than in Canada.

When you adjust for these “fatal injury” rates, U.S. life expectancy is actually higher than in nearly every other industrialized nation.

Unsurprisingly, the study also skewed its results through a criterion it called “fairness”, which basically gave points for government interference in the medical sector — a category in which our nation should strive mightily for last place.

And Stossel’s not done yet. He closes with this teaser: “Next week: the truth about the Commonwealth Fund study.” Stay tuned.
