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'.

IIRC - The UK is now using an estimate of 15% 'Private'
to 85% Public to equalize the distribution of Medical
Care between : Those who can Pay-Their-Own-Way -and-
Those who can best use the Public Supported System.

(OT) : The False {Political} Promise of Public Health Care for
All . . .

The Smart Approach is a National Sales Tax of around
5% that Taxes both Domestic and Imported Goods and
Services 'equally' is the best way of fairly distributing the
Cost of Public Health Care.

The Really Dumb Idea is to use a Payroll Based System
which 'jacks-up' the Price of Domestic Goods and Services
and lets Imported Goods and Services go UN-TAXED.

Once Again the US Congress has FAILED the Citizens
of the US in providing a Public Health Care System that
is funded in a manner to be cost neutral to the Tax Payers.

EXAMPLE : The US Military Health Care System for both
Active and Retired Service Members has many "Problems"
and they are all directly attributed to the Inadequate Funding
of the System by the US Congress.

Question - What If - We Had a Public Health Care System
for Every US Citizen and the US Congress FAILED to provide
adequate Funding . . . American Citizens would be Sick
and Dying and the Blood would be on the Hands of Each
and Every Member of the House and Senate.


throw the bumbs out - we need real change
