I’ve actually written several blog entries surrounding our minister of North Korean-style healthcare Ujjal Dosanjh who, as some of you may know, sounds very much like a communist to me.
Dosanjh is the man who, for purely ideological (Marxist, it seems to me) reasons, purposely leads a dishonest debate in this country about our North Korean-style healthcare system. He can’t discuss it without uttering the mendacious bogeyman line about “American-style healthcare”. That’s our healthcare LEADER. And he actually says that there is no need for private enterprise. No need for private enterprise.
Nope! No rigid “ideological” position, there!
Today he said:
“Our first priority is to strengthen the public health care system and I believe we shouldn’t be ideological about these issues,” he said.
“Nor should we pursue options that are forced upon us by rigid ideological positions. In that sense I think it’s important that we look at everything that’s possible to reduce wait times.”
Everything that’s possible within a socialist system—entirely avoiding any talk of free-markets or capitalism. The wholesale abandonment of free enterprise in Canada, is what Ujjal Dosanjh seems to urge.
In my “part one” blog entry called Ujjal Dosanjh: Marxist in our midst, I wrote about some other words he said:
The Liberal Party’s minister of Canada’s North Korean-style Healthcare System, Ujjal Dosanjh, is such a left-wing zealot—such a socialist and borderline Marxist—that he overtly fears even the mention of private enterprise. He urges—nay, he warns—the nation’s doctors to not even discuss private enterprise at their annual meeting, the recent Supreme Court ruling notwithstanding. And notwithstanding the fact that they are free citizens (private operators at that), and are free to discuss any darn thing they please.
He still, even after considerable time on the job, insists on leading our nation into a totally dishonest debate about our healthcare system. He mendaciously warns—at every opportunity—that changing Canada’s currently decrepit, communist system even one iota—will mean that we will therefore entirely abandon the concept of universal access to healthcare. He pretends—as health minister yet!—that changing it at all will mean an “American-style system” in which credit cards will have to be used or you will die! You will have to sell your home and mortgage your very children just to pay for simple medical care.
Ujjal Dosanjh is possibly the most dishonest person Canadian government has ever known, in my opinion.
[…] “I am extremely disappointed,” Dosanjh said. “I am wondering where Dr. Schumacher wants to take the CMA. I am disappointed that he wants to take the CMA in a direction where he sees a private health care in Canada.
“I would have expected the president of the CMA to be a little more circumspect.”
Earlier, he has said, regarding health care, that (to paraphrase): “there’s no need for private enterprise”. This is a minister of the crown in a supposedly free, free-market, capitalist country (a way of life and a system of government which, I can assure you, Canada is quickly moving away from after years of liberal-left rule). This mendacious “honorable” minister and public servant should be seeking out every conceivable way in which things could be handled by the private sector rather than by government. But for Marxists, government is the first resort, not the last. Citizens—you and me—are the last resort. We’re too stupid to do things on our own. Surely you’re learning that by now.
“I don’t see a great rush to set up private health care,” he said of the Canadian public.
“There are people who still remember the dark days of private health care, where people had to sell their farms and sell their homes to care for their loved ones.”
What an outright lie. Nobody is talking about abandoning the universal access system, and he knows it. He is trying to hoodwink you, citizen. He is a dishonest politician. He is steering you toward Marxism. And nobody except me is saying anything about it.
Even the author of the article in which those statements were written appeared to have reservations about the accuracy of Dosanjh’s words:
In fact, neither Schumacher nor the senior members of the CMA are advocating the wholesale abandonment of medicare. Rather, they’ve suggested it’s time to consider limited use of private health care in conjunction with the public system.
But Dosanjh said even this would lead to the destruction of medicare, and he urged doctors to exercise caution in reviewing such options.
And he says he wants to avoid sticking to “rigid ideological positions”. Wakey wakey, Canada!
