…But smart folks—independent thinking Canadians—might help it along and soon, it may be on the mend. Which reminds me —have they developed a vaccine against the liberal virus yet? Because those wily capitalist anti-socialist American private enterprise freaks are at it again—inventing drugs and saving countless millions of lives. Stupid free enterprise doesn’t work!
Yes, those damn American capitalists have come up with yet another drug to save liberals:
U.S. approves cervical cancer vaccine
WASHINGTON—Women for the first time have a vaccine to protect themselves against cervical cancer.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved use of the vaccine, Gardasil, for use in girls and women ages 9 to 26. It works by preventing infection by four strains of the human papillomavirus, or HPV, the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease.
This cancer kills 3,700 women each year in the United States and hundreds of thousands more worldwide. Acting FDA Administrator Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach said the vaccine will have “a dramatic effect” on the health of women around the world. […]
Meanwhile, Canada’s liberal-leftists continue to lie (?) and obfuscate and cover up for their utterly failed socialist experiment because they’ve literally based their entire political capital on this decrepit system working:
Doer’s claim infuriates readers
By TOM BRODBECK
For a hospital system that supposedly has no more hallway medicine, there sure are a lot of Winnipeggers out there who’ve been warehoused in emergency room hallways in recent weeks.
Premier Gary Doer declared hallway medicine dead this week, saying Tuesday that there are now “zero” patients in the hallway.
Health Minister Tim Sale’s office was bombarded with phone calls yesterday from people who took exception to the comment.
Sale’s office told callers that Doer was only referring to one day.
Actually his verbatim quote was:
“The average patients in the hallways in the emergency rooms in 1999 were 28 patients, Mr. Speaker. Today, there is zero.”It’s in Hansard, the official minutes of the legislature, on the provincial government website. Read it. You be the judge.
Dozens of people called and e-mailed me yesterday to tell me their hallway medicine horror stories. It’s actually worse than I thought.
[… read the rest (30 seconds) …]
They’ll cut and run from terrorists in Afghanistan, but keep fighting for their failed political socialist lives here in Canada—with our abidance or at least that from Canada’s stubborn, blinkered liberal-left.
And in B.C., where the BC Liberals continually pat themselves on the back for having Canada’s “top-rated medical care” :
Stillbirth at hotel raises furore
CRANBROOK – The Liberals are defending B.C.‘s health care system after a woman delivered a stillborn baby in a hotel.
Jennifer Norgate was given drugs to induce delivery and told it could take a couple of days for them to work.
She ended up at the hotel because there were no open beds at Cranbrook hospital, and when labour began, there was no time to get back to the hospital.
[…] Norgate, a mother of three in Elkford, began her ordeal May 30 when she and her husband Carl travelled to a Calgary clinic for an ultrasound to determine the gender of their 18-week-old unborn baby.
“We were excited to find out if we were having a boy or a girl and to let our other three children know if they would have a brother or a sister,” Norgate said in a letter sent to Premier Gordon Campbell, Health Minister George Abbott, local MLA Bill Bennett and others.
“Unfortunately, we found out that our baby had died approximately four weeks earlier. We were sent home to see our family doctor the next day.”
Her doctor gave Norgate medication to induce labour and quickly arranged for the couple to see a gynecologist in Cranbrook, a 21/2-hour drive away.
But when they got to Cranbrook, they were told there were no beds at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. She was told she’d have to wait in the emergency room or go to a hotel.
Because the couple had no way of knowing how long it would take Norgate to deliver the fetus, they chose to go to a hotel and return to the hospital when labour set in.
Norgate said in her letter she went into labour just before 3 a.m. on June 1 and delivered the dead fetus herself in the bathroom.
“I held this baby in my hand and wept as I didn’t know what to do with this child,” she wrote.
I wasn’t looking for news about Canada’s North Korean-style healthcare system. These stories just pop-up in a routine kind of way in Canada.
Here’s a ray of hope:
Public-private health plan a go for Quebec
Quebec intends to go ahead with plans to allow a limited role for the private sector in the public health system, Quebec Health Minister Philippe Couillard said Thursday.
The decision comes after the government held weeks of hearings and heard from 108 groups.
The hearings showed there is no unanimous view on the extent of the role the private sector should play, which Couillard said reinforces his view that a balanced approach makes sense for now. […]
And here:
Strengthen universal health care, CMA says
Discussion paper offers blunt analysis, saying status quo is no longer sustainable
Published: Thursday, June 08, 2006
OTTAWA—The Canadian Medical Association issued a blunt analysis of Canada’s health care system Wednesday, saying the status quo is no longer sustainable and it’s time to end the “policy gridlock” over the private sector role in the publicly insured system.
[…] It also said a rational discussion about the roles of the public and private sectors in the funding and delivery of health care is overdue.
“Reinforcing myths and repeating platitudes about private and public health care have created policy gridlock and it is patients who are suffering,” the report said. “Policy-makers have not been proactive on health policy and the courts have been forced to act.” […]
Liberals and the liberal-left continue to obfuscate and lie. They continue to pretend that Canada’s North Korean-style healthcare system is unique in that it is a “universal access” system—and it’s the best in the world. They continue to play the ass and pretend that if we allow any private enterprise in, then ipso facto, badabing badaboom, Canada will merge with the U.S. and George Bush will kill your babies, “American-style”.
How repugnant. And sick.
They continue to try to pull the wool over your eyes by failing to acknowledge publicly that TWENTY EIGHT countries in the world have universal-access health care, many of which have no or few line-ups for care; and that each one of them relies on private enterprise to one degree or even almost entirely; and that Canada is alone only inasmuch as it and it alone forbids, by law, any private citizen from paying for his or her own basic healthcare and the healthcare of their own family with their own money. Actually no, sorry, Canada and North Korea are alone in this regard.
And Canada’s healthcare system is among the highest cost and least efficient in the industrialized world.
Vote liberal! It’s like getting a disease and not taking your medication.
