Canadian Healthcare Plan "In Crisis"

Yah, I guess.

And that headline-quote is from the AUTHOR of the Canadian socialist plan.

Back in the 1960s, [Claude] Castonguay chaired a Canadian government committee studying health reform and recommended that his home province of Quebec — then the largest and most affluent in the country — adopt government-administered health care, covering all citizens through tax levies

...Four decades later, as the chairman of a government committee reviewing Quebec health care this year, Castonguay concluded that the system is in "crisis."

"We thought we could resolve the system's problems by rationing services or injecting massive amounts of new money into it," says Castonguay. But now he prescribes a radical overhaul: "We are proposing to give a greater role to the private sector so that people can exercise freedom of choice."

Bookmark this and make certain that it is read into the record when the Nurse Robson Rached forces assemble in Madistan next January.
