Medical care is a provincial jurisdiction, not a federal one.

And you don't think the provincial governments are under the control of the
federal government? It is to laugh!

Your ignorance

Pot, kettle, black.


If doctors are free to admit whomever they please whenever
they please and do surgery on them, how is the system "socialized?" If
things are as you imply, it's a free market economy. Obviously, it's not,
because many people are complaining about their inability to get served
because the government won't allow them to see a doctor or go to a hospital.

Exactly who in the government won't allow them?

The reason that folks aren't being served is that the system is overloaded
in a specific area for a specific treatment.

Yup, precisely. And that occurs because the system is centrally controlled
and is not a free market.

It is not because the government
refuses to treat people.

No, they just cut funding so that the services are not available. Same
result though.

Providing unlimited resources in every area is not
efficient.

Indeed. Why not let the free market control that?

The taxpayers have indicated that they want to see better service
in many areas, but the politicians have been dragging their heels on getting
improvements in place.

Thus, the government IS "refusing to treat people" by denying funding for
the necessary improvements. Thanks for proving my thesis!

Most of the real problems in Canada's health care
system have been the result of right-wing politicians' meddling.

Yup. Exactly. The government controls and rations health care in Canada.
That's what I've been saying all along. Thanks for confirming it!

Folks
like Mike Harris and Gordon Campbell have done a lot of damage to a system
that used to work much better.

Yeah...when it was a free market system...
