Yes, the libtards are holding Canada’s health care system as something to be emulated.  Maybe not.


Pressured by an aging population and the need to rein in budget deficits, Canada’s provinces are taking tough measures to curb health care costs, a trend that could erode the principles of the popular state-funded system.

Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, kicked off a fierce battle with drug companies and pharmacies when it said earlier this year it would halve generic drug prices and eliminate “incentive fees” to generic drug manufacturers.

British Columbia is replacing block grants to hospitals with fee-for-procedure payments and Quebec has a new flat health tax and a proposal for payments on each medical visit — an idea that critics say is an illegal user fee.

And a few provinces are also experimenting with private funding for procedures such as hip, knee and cataract surgery.

Meanwhile, Pelosi, Reid and crew use much arm twisting, political maneuvering and outright corruption and bribery to pass a bill that brings us one step closer to the very health care system Canada is now taking steps to dismantle.  If Canada, with its projected 4.3 percent of GDP deficit, is taking steps to scale back its government controlled health care disaster, because it’s no longer sustainable, what makes Skeletor and the other bungling moonbats in Congress think that our deficit, which is projected to be about 11 percent this year, will sustain their massive government takeover of a large chunk of America’s economy?
