I can’t let this pass.I scan FA to get the latest news,etc.

Here in Calgary,the people who wait in emergency wards should have ample amounts of time and a high threshold for pain.My brother had severe dog bites and it took 4 hours for stitching.

I was injured in the oil patch-24 stitches on 2 fingers-that took over 5 hours of waiting.

I need surgery for painful bone spurs on both feet.The set up from family doctor to the surgeon was going to be 9 months.2 months before surgery the specialist became a bureaucrat.A near rookie was going to do the surgery.I asked for the new bureaucrat to do it.He said it would be impossible.I cancelled the surgery and am now looking for surgical help in Denver.I’ll be getting half of the cost reimbursed,so i’m shopping around.

Alberta has 3.5 million people with a 27 billion dollar budget.40% is for medicare.There are far to many bureaucrats and that is the major problem.

People from Montana snuck in to the medicare rolls,and the bureaucracy couldn’t figure it out.Incompetance and some corruption is rife because some of the privleged escape the long queues for surgery.

You want great care-pay for it and get out of the long something for nothing line-ups.

Thanks for the update, Curt.

I am in British Columbia, too, in Vancouver.

Another aspect of MRIs in Canada – it can indeed take several months for a human to get an MRI. However, if you take your dog or cat to a veterinarian and it is determined that an MRI well be helpful, it will take all of a FEW DAYS to get one.

Guess which system, Human or pets, is not run by a government.

Terrence…her IP shows Vancouver Island, Nanaimo which I’m familiar with seeing as how my parents live on the island also. Having extended family up there I know the truth of what you are saying. My uncle who owns his own business always rails against the huge taxes he has to pay and every time I visit I am always shocked at the amount people have to pay taxwise. As far as healthcare my father just recently had to wait 4 months for an MRI. 4 freakin months! I was pissed but they live on a fixed income and they have no choice. It’s a rotten system they have up there and now they want us to have a version of it. Completely insane. I mean, where will the Canadians go to get there healthcare (seeing as how they have to come down here all the time for quality healthcare) if we go to that system too?

Just heard Rush Limbaugh reading the first page of democrat Max Baucus’s “funding bill” for ObamaCare …

To paraphrase a line from 2001: A Space Odyssey

“My God! It’s full of stars!”

2009: An ObamaCare Odyssey

“Good God! It’s full of taxes … repealings and penalties!”

Yunz do know our Founding Fathers and Founding Patriots went to war over far less government oppression/taxation …

This Marxist-democrat hijacked government is blatantly now inciting violence out of the American people.

He’ s blowing smoke up the ass of the MSM and they’re loving every minute of it. Meanwhile his new rules of engagement are getting our brave young marines killed in Afghanistan.

To our host, commentators and readers – I must apologize for feeding the brain-dead Canadian troll. As I said above – I am embarrassed and ashamed to be a Canadian when I read the drivel Marge dumped here. Responding to her uninformed nonsense only encouraged her to dump even more of it. However, the more she dumped, the more she exposed her MASSIVE ignorance. I guess some of my fellow Canadians really are stupid enough to think the health care systems are “free” up here.

For the record, Canadians pay MASSIVELY more direct and indirect taxes than Americans do. The rate of income tax charged up here is obscene.

Furthermore, everything we buy up here is more expensive than in the good ol’ USA – food, clothing, appliances, electronics, housing, utilities. automobiles, gasoline, etc, etc, are ALL taxed along the way, some are taxed at several stages of production, transportation, and distribution.

Canadians line up for two to FIVE hours to cross the border in Washington to go SHOPPING – most everything is CHEAPER in Washington, even after paying 10 to 15 % more with the Canadian dollar. So, Canadians wait in line for HOURS to get into the USA to buy stuff.

And moonbats like Marge think health care is FREE up here! Good grieve, what a brainwashed, brain dead useful idiot.

BTW, I do not believe anything she wrote. If someone checked her ISP address and IT shows she is in BC, I will believe that, but nothing of what she dumped.

He said to his CIA contact, “They are planning something. A terrorism beyond comprehension. I can tell you it won’t be in Yemen or in Africa. YOU know where it will be. You know. If they kill me then you know they’re coming.”

Eight years ago today, just two days before 9-11-01, our greatest ally and best hope in Afghanistan was assassinated by the enemy that would hit us hard just two days later. He beat back the Soviets as a very young man, and hated the Taliban and AQ. He begged for the Clinton Admin. to trust him and arm him and his men to fight the Taliban, but, he knew Clinton had no balls. He respected Reagan. Longed for a strong and stern American government to be friends and allies with. Was astounded at the Clinton Admin.’s refusal to ‘take out’ UBL when they had him in their sights. He warned our CIA 9-11 was coming. HE was more concerned for us than our own people were.
