Where will Americans Go?

The Labor Premier Danny Williams of Newfoundland and constant critic of Conservative Canadian Prime Minister Harper, went to Miami for his Cardiac surgery. “It is my health and my choice:, he declared. No one can disagree with that sentiment. The question is why has he been such a staunch critic of reformers?
In Canada, it is a big deal that the government has decided that people with cancer will be able to radiation within two months. 135 Children getting insulin pumps covered is celebrated as an achievement.
We have to ask a legitimate question. Do we want to put cost control above innovation? If we do, where will Americans go to have their choice to protect their health?
No single payer! Think of the Canadians!
Seriously, do you think people will be unable to pay for services above and beyond what is covered?
It’s not a money issue…he’s coming to America because of our superior care. You see, in socialized countries like Canada, a rather high level of mediocrity exists because the government oversees hiring, salaries, tenure, promotion, etc., while making it virtually impossible to fire anyone. It is one of the many flaws of socialism and big government; the mediocre flourish, the competent are driven out.
Most people with common sense realize this; hence, the resistance to BO’s nationalized healthcare.
