Believe it or not, Micheal Moore makes some good points in his recent movie about Wall Street. Until he turns in a screeching loon that is.
I absolutely think that we should start looking internationally and implement a more two-tiered program that can help reduce costs.
I'm not going to sit here and argue with you that Universal Health Care sucks. Because I would honestly be lying to you. I have received phenomenal health care in the past here in town, but I believe it was from sort of a private clinic. Don't really know how it works, but there is a difference in how the clinic in run compared to a public clinic in the middle of Calgary.
It was covered of course, but the way it is setup is different. I even mentioned in the other thread that we should encourage MORE private clinics to be setup and allow them to draw people AWAY from the emergency rooms.
In Manitoba, at least in the places were I have been to get health care, people were actually intentionally going to the emergency room because they had a damn cold. I asked some of them why and they said the waiting list wasn't as long there.
