If it's the latter, the recent comments by the incoming President of the Canadian Medical Association may be the final nail in the coffin for ObamaCare.
Canadian Health Officials: Our Universal Health Care Is 'Sick,' Private Insurance Should Be Welcomed
Dr. Anne Doig, the incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association, said her country’s health care system is “sick” and “imploding,” the Canadian Press reported.
“We know there must be change,” Doig said in a recent interview. “We’re all running flat out, we’re all just trying to stay ahead of the immediate day-to-day demands.”
Canada’s universal health care system is not giving patients optimal care, Doig added. When her colleagues from across the country gather at the CMA conference in Saskatoon Sunday, they will discuss changes that need to be made, she said.
“We all agree the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize,” she said.
Current president of the CMA, Dr. Robert Ouellet, will make a presentation at the conference about his findings when he toured Europe in January, and met with health groups in several countries.
Ouellet has said that “competition should be welcomed, not feared,” meaning private health insurance should have a role in the public health system.
Doig said she isn’t sure what kind of changes will be proposed when the conference wraps up, but she does know that changes have to come – and fast. She said she understands that universal health care, while good in some ways, has not always been helpful for sick people or their families.
"(Canadians) have to understand that the system that we have right now — if it keeps on going without change — is not sustainable," Doig said.
Dr. Oullet is advocating a private option for Canadian. He is no doubt referring to the American private insurance model, the one that Obama says is broken.
I find it very troubling and ironic that while Canada says their health care is "sick" Obama is wanting to head this country's health care system in that very direction. The public-option is not an option at all. And Co-Ops are just a smoke screen to throw people off with Obama's deceitful ways for his health care to be a trojan horse to lead into a single-payer system. If the plan is Govt.- run, its plain and simple, it won't work.
