One step further to the USA style of health care.

Our socialized health care is not totally all encompassing or totally funded.
More and more procedures are being delisted to become fee for service. This is
opening the door to further allow both private and socialized health care. Just
as the Americans have Medicaid and private coverage.

In plain English: the universal public health system is just too
overcrowded and it is not working. There has been a two speed system of
healthcare in Kannnaaada for years, only the public didn't have it
shoved down their throats. Now they will. Or they will have to pay
higher taxes.

And down here in the USofA many people CAN get treatment, but don't
because they can't afford it. There are too many people trying to put
their hand in the purse, and it is a sad state of affairs. :(

I am Canadian. I wish we had privatized health-care. It would be nice to
lower our taxes a bit and not have doctors see someone everytime they get a
runny-nose. I'm bitter though. It is just a "semi" organized form of
communism. I love Canada and wouldn't live anywhere else but the healthcare
system needs an enema.

People down here keep bitching about wanting 'free health care'. There
is no such thing. Someone has to pay for it. Lots of abusers who waste
millions of dollars and lots of dollars spent in the *system* of health
care that have nothing to do with patient care.

One mom of a baseball player on my son's college team makes $80K
traveling around medical offices (owned by hospitals) setting up
'systems' and getting insurance money flowing. Nice lady, but that's
how messed up things are. Insurance companies and hospital corporations
are making big bucks while patient care suffers.
