Re: Time to vent... private health care vs taxes & public health care

[Guest guest]

Sorry, I probably missed a lot of this thread. I'm completely in

agreement with Ray in with paying taxes for our health care system in

Canada. I do not want it turned over to private healthcare providers.

There are certain fundamental needs of citizens in modern society, we

have the ability to provide it (in the case of healthcare) for all

citizens in Canada, and the federal government should be responsible

for ensuring certain standards of care are provided by the provinces.

Stepping off my soapbox now, temporarily.
