Comments on: Canadians Flee Public Health Care http://patdollard.com/2009/06/canadians-flee-public-health-care/ The War Starts Here Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:04:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Rhune http://patdollard.com/2009/06/canadians-flee-public-health-care/#comment-482020 Rhune Wed, 01 Jul 2009 07:10:24 +0000 http://patdollard.com/?p=80545#comment-482020 Couple of things that need to be changed: 1. Make pricing constant across payers. It is unfair that the insurance companies pay X, medicare pays .8X and people without insurance pay 4X. 2. Lawyers. Malpractice may only be a small percentage of healthcare, but the fear of it is what is driving costs up. Reform this now. 3. Medical Education. The art of physical examination and patient interviewing is being lost. Nobody wants to examine an abdomen when you can order a CT/US/Xray. Doctors need to stop playing 'cover your ass' medicine and start being doctors. This can only happen once problem number 2 is solved. Obama addresses none of these issues.

Most importantly, the talented doctors leave the system and the Government is forced to bring in foreign doctors (i.e. phillipines, india...etc) and what do you think happens to the quality of healthcare you will be receiving? let alone having issues understanding them. Wake up people, the idiot in office is a SOCIALIST borderline COMMUNIST and we cannot wait for the military to hold a coup or anything, we need to get out there, educate everyone, get our cause in foxnews which will force the other stations to cover it (even though they will slander the cause) and of course out on the internet. This will most importantly make people research it... our goal is to be relentless, NEVER let up! FORCE the usurper to show his Certified Birth Certificate! That will be the way to stop this false administration and all policies it passed at once!!!!! -aTb www.912dc.org all countries with Socialist medicine are affected in this manner.

My guess is that we need to control medical insurance costs, prevent frivulous lawsuits, and get the decision making process closer to the patient and doctor. The problems of healthcare are similar to the ones of education. Post Obama, Healthcare is one of the things that will need to be fixed.

All they do it take the existing ones out of the public system, make wait times longer for everybody else while people who can pay more and more and more money jump the queue for health care services,” said Natalie Mehra, member of the Ontario Health Coalition. Wow that's a shitty argument, lol. They're blaming the doctors, nurses and specialists for the ills of the public system, that's just ludicrous. These people actually think -- no they actually believe... that these docs and nurses OWE the Canadian people healthcare. They don't owe anyone anything. “Private clinics don’t produce one new doctor, nurse, or specialist.
