I never made that claim, as I've told you a dozen times (but you are such a
scumbag that you keep on lying) there are wait times in every health care
system, including Canada. In fact, you will recall that you yourself posted
an article about people waiting for a specific test in Newfoundland.

You did not quote me.
======================
Yes, I did. see other posts for today... Here, want to
see
it again?
"...No one is waiting for treatment..."

You need to quote without the "... and ..." and you also
need
to provide a
link to the message so it can be verified. What a scumbag
you
are!
================
There was no "and" fool. You made that statemnet. Too
abd
you're a proven liar, eh?
YOU made the statement. Now you're claiming you can't
find
it?
You really are a loser, aren't you, liar?
restore end

Post the entire quote. Why did you need to delete the
beginning and end?
Weasel.
======================
"...No one is waiting for treatment..."
Why are you concerned about whole quotes while you
dishonestly
delete whole ones, fool?

Provide the entire quote. Scum.

====================
What I posted says it all. You lied.


It says nothing because you have engaged in the ultimate
scumbag tactic of
posting a partial quote with no context and no reference.

========================
Then post the entire thing if you think it will change the
statement, liarman. As it is, it stands alone as the statement
you made, and meant. That you are continuing to lie is no
surprise, since you are a proven liar.

=====================
Read the sites fool. As you know, patient info is not

There are stories about health care issues in the media all

Something as serious as someone dying while waiting for

would
definitely make the front page.

Never. Prove it.

Yes, fool. Try some researchof you own. You made the claim.


I've done it. It hasn't happened, save for your weasel
imagination.

OK If you have done the research, then you should be able to
refute the facts, eh liar?

Still claiming no one waits for treatment in Canada?


I never said that. As I've told you more than a dozen times, as with every
health care system, people in Canada sometimes have to wait.

So.

Did you see what I just said?

People in Canada sometimes have to wait. In fact, I will guarantee that
given it is a snowy night and the roads are slippery, somewhere her in
Ottawa someone is sitting in a hospital and waiting for treatment.

So.

Do you understand that I do not claim that nobody is waiting?

Or are you going to continue being a supreme weasel, scumbag, and liar, and
keep stating that I claim otherwise?

Tink, I'm fairly sure you didn't read this one:
http://www.utoronto.ca/hpme/dhr/pdf/Barer-Lewis.pdf

I quote: "In short, patients get on wait lists in Canada
through a
poorly understood, haphazard, unaudited, entirely private
process
largely controlled by individual physicians."

The authors tell us that the notion of a waiting list and the
notions
of waiting and waiting times are hard to define. For example,
when
"exactly" does a patient (and, in this case, I don't care if
it's in
Canada, the USA, the UK, or whereever) get "on" a waiting
list? Tink,
when you call your family doctor, and the receptionist informs
you that
you can come in on Thursday, you're on a waiting list (if this
is a day
other than Thursday).

But what is particularly interesting in the statement in
question is
the part about it being an "entirely private process largely
controlled by individual physicians." So, no big bad
government
determining who gets to wait. It is the physician, using
his/her best
knowledge, who determines the nature of our wait. I think this
is
exactly what KMAN, Michael, and I have been trying to say.
Doctors in
Canada operate privately.

Tink, your source goes on to say: "Wait times tend to be, in
statistical jargon, highly skewed. This means that very long
waits are
the exception. A few long waits can have the same misleading
effect on
wait time statistics as a few palatial mansions on average
housing
prices." NOTE: "very long waits are the exception"

To complete that thought, the authors say: "But in the world
of selling
papers and tv advertising spots, the exception often makes the
story.
This gets an unassuming public understandably concerned,
playing nicely
into the hands of those seeking to get more money into the
system."

Is that not EXACTLY what KMAN has been saying? This is hype!

NOW READ THIS CAREFULLY (IT TAKES THE CANADIAN PULSE): "Some
recent
Canadian research has found that not all patients are unhappy
about
waiting. Very
few patients who felt waits were "too long" wanted to see
additional public funds used to reduce wait times (although
this may be
related to the procedures they were waiting for and may also
now be
changing, as Canadians seem increasingly concerned about
access to
care). Fewer still seemed interested in shelling out extra
money
personally to reduce their wait time."

NOTE CAREFULLY: "Fewer still seemed interested in shelling out
extra
money personally to reduce their wait time." That's us, cheap
Canadians
(just ask the folks in Florida)!

Anyway, Tink, thanks for the link. It goes on, and on, and on,
supporting KMAN's points.

Dang. I owe Tinkerntom and apology. I never should have assumed
he
understood the information he was posting. Sorry Tinkerntom!

======================
You should know about not understanding the paper, liarman.
Because it is all about wait lists for treatment in Canada.
Something you have claimed that Canadians don't do. Again, you
are proven to be the liar you are.

Nice that you like American cites now, eh liar?

My apologies for being unclear Tinkerntom.

Can I please try again?

Has rick PROVEN to you that Canadians are dying waiting for health
care?

If you will excuse and accept the following babble?


I deleted it.

Has he proven it?


Yes, he provided evidence, and there was other evidence available!


How has he PROVEN it. Anyone can "provide evidence" that is not the same as
proving something, Tinkerntom.

For example, your participation here in this newsgroup is something I would
provide as evidence that you are suffering from mental health problems. But
as I am sure you will agree, it doesn't prove it.

For example, did a coroner's inquiry say "Person X died while waiting

for
health care, and if the health care system had not responded so

slowly,
she'd still be alive?"


Yes, read about Diane Gorsuch below!


That fact that a person was on a waiting list for something and died

doesn't
mean that caused the death.


He never claimed that! If so show me Date and Time of rick's post! I am
to tired to search any longer myself, having read and reread probably
100 less than inspiring epistles by you two.


Sigh.

Well what would be the point of claiming that someone died while they were
on a waiting list but the fact that they were waiting was not related to the
cause of death!?!?!!??


Has rick PROVEN to you that Canadians are dying waiting for health

care?

Yes, ask and answered previously and below!


How has he proven it?

Can you point me to an objective report (such as a coroner's report or
inquiry) that says "Person X died because they were on a waiting list and
their death was preventable if they had not been on that waiting list"

Please note (in case not obvious) this means that it was the waiting

that
caused them to die.


Now you are changing the question, rick never claimed this. He claimed
that people died while their name was on a waiting list, waiting for a
test or procedure that could have saved their life.


That's fine.

Point me to any objective report that says someone died because they were
waiting for treatment that woudl have saved their life.

They still might
have lost their life, even if they had the procedure, because these
were seriously ill individuals with life threatening illness, usually
cardiac or ontology, but that is a different issue entirely!


No, it isn't.

Before your deleted it, did you read it?

Your promise was posted as follows;

Feb 22, 7:03 am

"Please provide a link to the message in which you posted a Canadian
reference (or any reference) that proves Canadians have died in wait
lines for health care, and I will make a formal and public apology."


Sigh.

I am not a scumbag like rick.

I make a formal and public apology. The question, although badly worded, was
worded by yours truly, and, as worded,the requested burden has been met.

Sadly, the intended purpose of asking such a question - to combat bizarre
mythology being propogated about Canadian health care and to try to bring
some focus to wild unsubstiated generalizations - has been even more widly
derailed by rick's deceptive tactics that have focused mainly on ad hominem
attacks and unreferenced accusations.

The Canadian health care system is excellent, and what some of the articles
you quoted show is that the provincial and federal governments (and more
importantly the general populace) see it as a top priority and are
determined to keep standards high.

Or are you going to be consistent and be a liar and a
coward
on
this issue
as well?
====================
Anything you open your mouth about, like Canadians
never
waiting
for treatment.

I never said that. Every health care system requires
that
people wait.
==========================
Yes, you did liar. Do try to keep up with your own spews,
dolt.


What part of your claim:
"...No one is waiting for treatment..." don't you
undersatnd?
You said it fool, 2/20/2005


Big lie there fool...

Never said it. Prove that I did.
================
See above fool. You made the claim, liar.

Why none of your pithy spews here, fool? Finally realixed
how
stupid you really are, and how much you lie?

Post the entire quote, and reference it, weasel.
============================
"...No one is waiting for treatment..."

That's is a quote by you fool. feb 20, 2005. That you are
still too stupid to fully use your computer is no surprise,
liar.

Post the entire quote.
==================
What I posted stands by itself. You lied.
"...No one is waiting for treatment..."

Still afraid to look things up for yourself, eh liar?


Only a scumbag posts the middle of a quote with no context or
reference.

==========================
It wasn't from the middle, liar, it was'nt out of context, liar.
I provided the the reference by date and time you said it, liar.
Thanks for proving yet again that lies are all you have, since
the facts are not on your side.


You could have easily pasted the entire context, including headers. Instead
you posted a piece of a statement without the information that preceded it
or came after.

A scumbag tactic.

Here, let me restore your dishonesty again, liar..

"No, you brought up the "need" of an object being the
determination whether or not people should have them.
You lost, again, and now have you resort to your
ignorant spews... checkmate, proven liar..."

What is the need for assault weapons to the general public?
It's a valid question. They are only useful for spraying
bullets. Why else do you need them? In response to this YOU
brought up the fact that people get killed by cars. But cars
have many other valid and valuable purposes.
================
So do weapons.


What are the valuable purposes of assault weapons that are
comparable to the
valuable purposes of cars?

========================
LOL Tap, tap, tap. First it's does it have a need? As if
'need' is the determenat as to whether an object can be owned.
Now it's a 'valuable' need! You really don't have a clue, do
you, liarman.


What a surprise, the coward isn't going to answer!

Here's what you said: see above!

===

KMAN: cars have many other valid and valuable purposes.

rick: So do weapons

===

So, coward, why are you being a scumbag and refusing to name those valid and
valuable purposes of assault weapons?
