Kevin Park's Play of the day:
Trump's Golden Age Of America?
I'm back. I've been off for several weeks after undergoing life-saving
radical stomach surgery. My hat is tipped to thank the wonderful care
given to me by the world class physicians and nurses that Canada's
Universal Heath Care Plan provides for all medically necessary treatments.
Canada's Universal Health Care Plan
Let me be clear. "Canadians are Not Communists!"
We believe that Healthcare is a Human Right.
In the late 1950's and early 1960's, Tommy Douglas, a fundamentalist
fire-breathing Pastor and Premier, developed a healthcare model for
the citizens of Saskatchewan. It worked and the rest of Canada bought
into it. It is funded via Low Taxes to all residents.
(Here in Oil rich Alberta, we pay no fees for Healthcare.)
When a citizen goes to a doctor there is no fee.
If someone requires hospitalization or surgery, there is no fee.
Issues requiring Urgent or Emergency attention are addressed immediately.
Issues requiring Elective Care may take considerably longer.
For example, hip replacement waiting lists are about 8 months long.
Now I hate to admit this but the truth is, over the last three years
I have been hospitalized for 89 days and have never
been charged a nickel for the care and treatment.
If I lived in a Third World country, I would have been dead long ago.
So I know at 83, I'm living on borrowed time and yes I am
over the moon with gratitude for Canada's Universal Health Care.
American Politics and Universal Health Care
Unfortunately, the only party that is strongly interested in bringing
Universal Healthcare to the United States is the Democratic Socialists (DSA).
But they are communist wingnuts who want to abolish prisons and
put an end to the ownership of private property.
On the other side of the ledger are Trump and his Republicans.
For reasons known only to themselves, they are content to see
Insurance Companies profit from the health problems of Americans.
The average monthly fee for individual U.S. insurance is about $600.
In his second term so far, President Trump has shown no compassion
for anyone with medical problems or otherwise. In fact, he has
proudly bragged about throwing millions off of Medicaid. Continued
