    Our southern neighbour has a huge lobbying campaign to turn our system in a private health care system.

    It’s not that they are actively working towards this that is the problem … it’s equally problematic that we citizens are more than willing to just wander around like zombies and let it all happen.

      I think we’re privatizing ourselves quite nicely without their help.

      It’s hard to (directly) blame the US when we insist on underpaying our health care staff on our own. We also reduced the number of spots for training nurses and doctors during the 1990s.

      The most effective lobbying campaign has been being exposed to our system. I am so sick of this fucking tim hortons patriotism bs

        You sound successful enough and able to pull yourself up by the bootstraps down south, why not have a go at it and leave us to fester in our socialist hellhole?

          That was the plan before I ran across this current opportunity. Maybe in 5 years when I have all the kinks out and don’t have to supervise directly.

            Cool cool cool. Do be sure to shut the door in the way out, and not to let it hit you in the tukus as you leave. Ta ta!
