So DON'T copy Canada. who says you have to?? Not only that...... the post sounds like a hysterical piece of tripe...... which is sensationalizing ONE example. One such example is NOT the norm. So that makes it a weak "arguement."Furthermore.... I and others can site numerous examples of shoddy , neglectful care in the US. But what will that achieve?? And that does not begin to cover the hi risks for law suits. ......that prevent or make a medical team hesitate before providing treatment for fear of.
Students in Medicine take their residencies in Canada as they prefer the QUALITY of CARE there. The focus is on the PATIENT and care there of. as opposed to the bottom line.$$$$$$ I know Many US students that come through the system as I worked with them at one time. Most never went back to the US . (mind you this is some time ago. I hear that even more apply -outside the US-for their residencies and specialties now)
Would not be boasting about the US systems at the moment. As they are virtually ALL in deep trouble. Health care for a population should not even be an issue. It is equal in importance ......if NOT MORE SO.. than education. AN unhealthy population can't work, the unemployed rise in numbers , and THIS affects the overall economy too.
again........ when the dollar ( losing value as it is) is the bottom line...not the PEOPLE..... what is happening now is the result.
Seems that some are so blinded by their own BELIEFS that they have lost grip on what is the current REALITY.....and it ain't good at all. Such IRRATIONAL fear of "socialism" or any other "ism" is a symptom of weakness and narrow mindedness.
But lets not digress from the Mismanaged US economy which is affecting folks world wide.
where is the US going to get the MONEY to fund their coming WARS?? ( elective mass slaughter) and how will the troops / families get paid?? More borrowing ?? China already owns the US ( if one is going to be technical about it. ...... so the US had better mind its P's and Q's when dealing with China and other nations it is in debt to. It won't be long (at this rate) before the US is ignored as it is already losing its "influence" but will be reminded of the chips owed.
The US is NOT bargaining ( or THREATENING as is its MO) from a position of strength.
There is no "american dream". There never was. It was a fantasy that has been sold to the gullible . Now the reality is an american NIGHTMARE. and the US has no one to blame but itself.
