Canada's Proud Socialist Healthcare system.

"Pride grows in the Human heart like lard on a pig" - Alexander Solzhenitzyn

The Canadian Medical Association, along with the government, call the shots. Doctors will not get paid for unapproved and/or, what is termed, experimental procedures and consumers cannot purchase private medical services. It is one of the worst, if not the worst, socialist medical plans in the world. All other systems in western nations at least allow the consumer, if he has the wherewithal, to purchase medical services from the private sector. They allow a private sector to exist. The alarm bells go up though if anyone dares to threaten change other than increased "resources" - meaning money and a bigger bureaucracy. Canadians that have money can generally go to the US if they want special treatments.

Really though, any healthcare plan is an insurance plan and not much to do with healthcare services, other than costs, at all. That's why the American health care system, although a vast improvement over the Canadian system, is just a private system of health insurance. There is no big government bureaucracy to manage it. The private insurance companies do all the managing with some government oversight. Medicare and medicaid are actually, in my view, unconstitutional as they are discriminatory. It's so compassionate and charitable though, isn't it. But the big improvement is that healthcare professionals no longer have to be compassionate and charitable when it comes to getting paid. They bill the faceless insurance companies or in the case of medicare and medicaid the taxpayer. If you don't have healthcare insurance though look at the size of your bill.

About 25 years ago a study of our Canadian health care system was done. The Mazankowski report, is what it was called, but I could have saved them the $10 mil by revealing the findings without a study. What were the findings of this study? The system needed more "resources" - More personnel and more investment in updating technology and access. What a boondoggle that study was! Mazankowski was a Conservative politician but the Libs were in power so I think it was some kind of tit for tat, quid pro quo but of course that never, ever would have been considered. Had the study suggested anything else the Unions would have put out the call for "no one to touch our healthcare system, darn it! ".

Optimistically, the world is entering a new renaissance period, where all the old deadwood has to be cleared out. I'm not talking about the masses like the globalist elite are, they want to cull the herd. It is the old way of doing politics that needs to be built back better. The next period we enter is to wrest power and control from the hands of the few and restore sovereignty to the individual but will have some rough spots. They will not give up easily though their plan is destined to fail. It is only a matter of how much destruction they are willing to do and are allowed to get away with before what is exposed and realized are their true objectives. There may be a new Gulag if they are not stopped and that is the worst scenario. We still have some history we can look back to in order to help us learn and see through their plans. If one doesn't know what the Gulag was about it would behoove you to find out. As Solzhenitsyn said, "This book is not an exposé of the Russian government." It is a comment on man's inhumanity to man and to what depths it can go. hopefully we don't go that far.

Just a simple explanation of what "The Gulag Archipelago" was about. The word "gulag" is an anacronym for the department in the Russian communist government that ran the prison system. The Archipelago was the network of prisons across all of Russia to which political prisoners along with criminals were transported and served their sentences. Millions died in those camps under very inhumane conditions.

Let's not go there.
