Ahhh Scott! Trolling RBP again, I see! :-)


Anyway, I thought I'd update the socialist dogma thread since there's some
important news just out: Vincent Carrol of the Rocky Mountain News reports
that Canada's Supreme Court has struck down Quebec's ban on private health
insurance. Carroll says, "The court grandly announced, for example, that the
prohibition on private health care has resulted in 'physical and
psychological suffering,' including occasional deaths (which is certainly
true), and concluded that this violates Quebec's charter of rights."

He goes on to say, "The Canadian medical system amounts to moronic policy
and has become a liability to health."

Right on Vincent! Yet more proof that socialized medicine is a very bad
thing.

It's a very bad thing for people who can *afford* expensive private health
insurance, but a very very GOOD thing for those who cannot! ;-) And of course,
it's not like no one ever dies or suffers in a private health insurance system,
it just sounds speciously omniously grand to detractors thereof to say something
as above! ;-)

Don't worry, publicizing of the U.S. health system cannot be far away! I'm
studying for my RN now! I single-handedly brought down the entire IT industry in
the U.S. by getting into it and working in it for 7 years (1995 - 2002) , I
wonder if I can do the same to the healthcare systems profitability now? Hee
hee!
