Well done Scott! Good research. Your editorials, however, most often
missed the mark. I'll take these points up with you at a later date
(there's just WAY TOO MUCH you interpreted incorrectly!).

The question you should ask yourself is whether that "incorrect
interpretation" is deliberate or not.


However, here's something you did get right:

====================
YOU CANNOT GET BETTER, "FASTER" MEDICAL CARE IN CANADA FOR "MEDICALLY
NECESSARY" TREATMENTS NO MATTER WHAT, NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY YOU
HAVE, NO MATTER WHETHER OR NOT A PRIVATE PHYSICIAN IS WILLING TO GO THE
EXTRA MILE FOR YOU!
===============

And that's a fact. And that's a good thng: money will NOT get you
better or faster treatment.

It's not a good thing if you need or want better care and can afford it.

It doesn't serve the teenager very well since she may miss out on a future
in athletics because of the unconscionable delays in obtaining relatively
simply knee surgery that could probably be done on an outpatient basis in a
second-tier clinic...except that there are no second-tier clinics she can go
to because the government all but forbids them.

It's only a "good thing" from the socialist "you don't get to have anything
the poorest don't also get" perspective.

Not much motivation to excel under such a system.
