Still claiming no one waits for treatment in Canada?

I never said that.

====================
Yes, you did liarman.
"...No one is waiting for treatment..."


Just because it is a sentence doesn't mean it is a complete
statement.

==================
Yes, it does fool. Your next sentence even emphsised what you
said in this one, liarman.



Example:

What do you mean rick is a bit of an idiot, that's not true.
He's got to be
the biggest idiot on the planet!

To paste only the first sentence and then claim that I don't
think rick is
an idiot would be just as dishonest as what you have been doing
with my
sentence about waiting.

Here is more of the context:

======

As many as 100 children in Newfoundland face 30-month waits
for
the
high-tech scans, said Geoffrey Higgins, clinical chief of
diagnostic imaging
at the Health Care Corporation of St. John's. While the wait
is
"less than
ideal," he said patients' conditions are being investigated
and
followed by
other medical means, and that anyone needing an emergency
scan
gets one.
======================

LOL Sure, 2 years into a wait he might really NEED emegency
treatment, eh? At that time he goes right to the top of the
list. Maybe too late, eh? At the least, he has suffered more
than was medically necessary, and at worst is now beyond
treatment, or too weak to survive the treatment.


You're telling me there aren't poor people in the US in
isolated or slum
areas where they have a hard time getting a scan at their
convenience? Get
real.
====================

Another strawman, I see. We aren't talking about their
'convenience', we're talking about the convenience of the
medical
systam. When that 'poor' person arrives at a medical facility
in
need, then yes, I'm saying that they will not wait 2 1/2 years
for treatment.


No one is waiting for treatment. It's about a specific type of
scan in a
specific geographic area and the waiting is for
non-emergencies.

============================
LOL You just made my point for me, liarman. Your first
statement is declarative. 'No one is waiting for treatment.'
The next sentence just emphasizes it. Her you are making sure
that treatment and scans are seperate things, and saying people
are witing for those. Unfortunately for you, I have preseneted
facts that tell that canadaians are in fact waiting for
treatment, and you have now had to try to tap dance your way out
of this lie.




=====

What I am saying (clearly) is that nobody is waiting 2 1/2
years to get
treatment. They get treatment the day they walk into the
hospital. What they
are waiting for, as the article says, is a specific type of
high-tech scan.

Note from the above: "While the wait is "less than ideal," he
said patients'
conditions are being investigated and followed by other medical
means, and
that anyone needing an emergency scan gets one.

Now, let's get back to what you have been saying:

rick: kman also claimed that no one in Canada waits for
treatment, yet
another lie

======================
No, you are lying, liarman.


I never made the statement that no one in Canada waits for
treatment.

===============
Yes, you did, and you've even kindly quoted yourself above,
liarman.



You owe me an apology.

=====================
No, fool, you owe the apology. I have proven that peple wwait
for treatment, AND that some die waiting for treatment. I don't
expect you're honest enough to admit your lies though, liarman.



But I bet you are too weak to do it.

=================
No need to. I haven't lied...


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.

=======================
That's not waht you claimed earlier, until your lies were
exposed, liarman.


No, I didn't. You owe me an apology.

======================
Yes, you did, and you even provided the quote yourself...



In fact, you will recall that you yourself posted
an article about people waiting for a specific test in
Newfoundland.

========================
Which is where you denied that Candaians are waiting for
treatment. You lied then, liarman...


As you can see above, clearly I was explaining that those
people were not
waiting for treatment, they were waiting for a specific type of
high tech
test.

============================
No fool. You didn't say that the people in the story were not
waiting for treatment, you claimed that "NO" candaians are
waiting for treatment. When you lie was exposed, you had to
change your tune, eh liarman?




You owe me an apology.
================

Nope.

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.

================
Not to the willfully ignorant, right liarman?



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!?!?!!??

====================
Then read the sites presented, liarman.




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?

================
Many times, with Candians medical sources, liarman.


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"

===============
camj



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.

==============
camj


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.

==================
You're far worse. I ay least provide evidence for the claims I
make. You have nothing, liarman.



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.

I see you too are willfully ignorant, eh? Did you quit reading
the sites that were posted when they started proving yours and
liarmans jingoistic chest-thumping was nothing but lies?

Yeah, but shame on me for playing his game.

Although, I have to say (and this feels weird) since drawing
Tinkerntom into
the fray, the discussion has started to get more interesting
and perhaps
even useful.

Geezus, how many Americans do you think know a damned thing
about Canadian
health care. Hell, Tinkerntom even knows the names of some of
our political
parties now!

======================
Apparently many know far more than you do, liarman.

But dying while waiting and dying because of waiting are two
different
things.

==================
Sure they are, but the sites I have provided prove that it is the
wait for treatment that caused the deaths.

I haven't looked at all his most recent posts, but some of
the numbers posted did not specify that the deaths were because
they
were waiting.

=============
And many did. Too bad you can't be bothered with the truth, eh?

I know. But it really wasn't the point anyway. I was trying to
address the broad American mythology about Canadian health
care, and in trying to pin down rick to a concrete level, moved
the discussion into silly semantics.

==================
Yes, you have tried tio divert the discussion into a semantic
one. It still doesn't alter the fact that you have remained
wuillfully ignorant in the face of the evidence presented,
liarman.

================
What drugs are you on? It does however discuss a problem with
an overloaded system that can't cope.





Jeez, TnT, I'm willing to look at your sources, but at least
determine

Whatever happened with reading with your eyes open? many of the
sites support that people die waiting for treatment.

Complete sentence. No "and", "or", "but".

Nono. Stop being dishonest.

See the context above again. It is not that complicated.
================

The context digs you in deeper into your lies, liarman.



I responded to your claim that the people in your example were
waiting 2 1/2 years for treatment. They are not.

It's about a specific type of scan in a
specific geographic area and the waiting is for
non-emergencies.

====================
Nope. You claimed that no Canadians were waiting for

I made no such claim, you are a liar and a scumbag. There is no
such thing as a health care system where no one waits for
treatment.

You owe me an apology.

==============
No fool. You lied, and continue to lie.
