Top Canadian doctor: socialized health care “imploding”

As if we didn’t need another reason to RUN!!!! from the socialized, single-payer system that Obama and the Dems are trying to force on us. Here’s an article in which the top Canadian doctor — the incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association — openly admits that the Canadian health care system is “imploding.” She openly admits that Canadian doctors are scrambling to keep the most basic care available for Canadians. The article quotes Doig and other Canadian doctors who admit that as part of a move toward “patient-centred care,” that the Canadian system will need to allow private, for-profit options for Canadians – the exact opposite direction that Obama wants us to go.

Read it yourself and then ask if you really want to chuck the best medical system in the world for that.

The incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association says this country’s health-care system is sick and doctors need to develop a plan to cure it.

Dr. Anne Doig says patients are getting less than optimal care and she adds that physicians from across the country – who will gather in Saskatoon on Sunday for their annual meeting – recognize that changes must be made.

“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.

“We know that there must be change,” she said. “We’re all running flat out, we’re all just trying to stay ahead of the immediate day-to-day demands.” …

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