Interestingly, we pay for universal health care for all Iraqis and Afghans, but the SOB in the White House thinks the SCHIP program is too expensive. What a country! No, he thinks (and rightfully so) that the program should not cover folks having the financial means to purchase their own health insurance. In Canada you aren't allowed to pay for preferential treatment... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4u5x9XAsAs That's in flux... there are private clinics in this province offering various services and people are always free to hop over the border. The big problem is the Federal gov't balancing it's budget and creating surpluses by not keeping up with their share of the costs.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Don, Where do you think the federal goverment is going to get the money? They already have it, and it seems to get larger each year. http://www43.statcan.ca/04/04a/04a_g...aph_008_1e.htm Guess again, your health care system is in the red: http://www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/go...20expenditures Duh yeah! That's because the federal gov't keeps cutting it's pecentage share of the medical expense. At one time is was close to 'alf & 'alf with the provinces. Now it dropped to something less than 20%. It seems to me that the provinces need to raise their taxes. |
