Why do you think there are now private, non government involved
hospitals appearing in Canada? To serve those who have found the
Canadian health care system wanting.

As the population ages, their medical needs go up. Big business has
noticed a huge market catering to this group. There are billions to be
made, as people in general don't want to die. Most will pay anything in
order to stay above ground.

The politicians, ever so eager to keep their contributors and future
employers happy, are making privatization of the health care system
possible. In Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where I live, they've closed two
of the biggest hospitals. One was demolished and the other one is being
used by private interests. That caused a bed shortage.

The more of an inconvenience a visit to the hospital becomes, the more
people will be accepting a privatized system. That will, invariably,
cost them more than they are paying now. There has to be a profit made,
or why bother setting up a business?

Any shortcomings or faults in the system can be blamed directly on this
need of government to privatize. It's all about generating business
opportunities for the money men behind our elected 'servants'.
