The Left is looking for an exciting news story.

Moe Lane has it right.  this clip is so distorted...  Then the comments are so far off what they are really showing...   What can they want, if not atleast an attempt to be made?  This is so made up and out of thin air...  Those of us who have seen the uncropped video know it is a black man...

Stunning...

What? I do not believe it!

"(Canadians) have to understand that the system that we have right now - if it keeps on going without change - is not sustainable," said Doig.

Who is Doig you ask?  Only the incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association.

 "We all agree that the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize," Doing said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

Yet the Liberal progressives are running towards such a system.  Read the whole article.

A few words from Obama

"Health care is really hard. This is not easy. I'm a reasonably dedicated student to this issue. I've got a lot of really smart people around me who've been working on this for months now," he said. "There is no perfect painless silver bullet out there that solves every problem, gives everybody health care for free. There isn't. I wish there was."

Oh, OK, what was I thinking?  My uneducated, misguided self must hand over my right to dissent and disagree because he knows what he is talking about...  and if he doesnt know, He has "really smart people" who do.

Go ahead, take capitalism out of healthcare...

,,,Hell, Hand basket.

What? Canada Health Care System couldn't take care of newborn??? I am Shocked!!!

I cannot believe this story.....

HAMILTON — A critically-ill premature-born baby from Hamilton is all alone in a Buffalo, N.Y., hospital after she was turned away for treatment at local facility and transferred across the border without her parents, who don't have passports.

Ava Stinson was born Thursday at St. Joseph's Hospital, 14 weeks premature.

A provincewide search for an open neonatal intensive care unit bed came up empty, leaving no choice but to send the two pound, four ounce baby to Buffalo.

Now let's think this through.  Hamilton has a population of 750,000...  But has no open neonatal bed...  Hamilton is over 70 miles from Buffalo...  But just over 40 miles from toronto. Toronto has a population of 2.5 million, but no open bed...  The greater Toronto area is 25 percent of the total population of Canada, but no open bed....

Yet Buffalo did.  Buffalo is the first major city you get to coming out of Canada from Hamilton.  They didn't have to fly into the heart of America to get the care, they just had to cross the border.

Yet people still want that system here...

Via Memeorandum - A north of the border perspective....

I won't get into the relative merits of the American and Canadian health-care systems here. Suffice it to say that there obviously need to be more neo-natal intensive care unit beds up here. Thankfully -- and this doesn't mean that the American system is better (after all, at least the couple and their baby are guaranteed care up here, thanks to our public system, even if it's not perfect) -- there was an opening south of the border.

Such utter crap....  then in the comments...

Neo-natal care for a premature infant? Why doesn't every hospital in North America have specialized equipment costing millions for use in rare cases, which in most communities will almost never happen? Maybe if Canada had some fine American style Republicans to give them millions of uninsured citizens, but at least you can enjoy the tax cuts, if you were rich.

Nice rant... "rare" huh?  Well we better get used to that term, because it will be rare to get good service in the USA once we adopt a system similiar to Canada's.

Healthcare... are we doomed?

It is a scary time for those of us who fear socialism.  The opposition is in charge, and has the numbers to push their agenda.  We must speak up, we must make ourselves heard on the issues we hold sacred.

The Obama administration appears determined to bring universal healthcare to the United States...  despite the many examples of the failure of such systems around the world.

Just this week British PM Gordon Brown apoligised over the standard of care at Stafford general hospital.

A healthcare commission reported that;

between 400 and 1,200 more people died than was expected because of lapses in standards and poor procedures for emergency care.

Keep in mind that this is 400 to 1200 MORE people than was expected.  The British system has a way of letting a lot of people die...  They determine the cost to keep someone alive is too high and they let them die...  So this report is over and above that disgusting number!!!  This report says that up to 1200 people died that they meant to save after setting a price tag on life.

Now the left would argue what is needed is more money spent on the healthcare system...  Yet many of them still know they can never find enough money to fund a universal healthcare system that wouldnt still have to let people die because their care was too expensive.

The left always cries that we do not have universal healthcare in the United States...  But I believe our current system is better than those sytems they support.

Most uninsured American's don't have healthcare because they chose not to have healthcare!!!  Then those who chose to not have healthcare, and those who cant get it...  have a far superior emergency room network they can go to.

Some say Canada's healthcare system led to Natasha Richardson's death.  I tend to think it was more of her not seeking immediate care...  Yet isnt montreal like the second largest urban area in Canada? 

To all of those who love universal healthcare...  What do you say to the old?  Then ask yourself, which age is determined to be "old".

Ed Morrissey had a great post on this back in 2008

Update.

From Don Surber's daily scoreboard...

9. A judge in Britain sentenced a 9-month-old boy to death because the lad is too sick and too expensive for the National Health Service, the London Daily Mail reported.
