Out of the Darkness, a Flicker

The diseased dominion got a little better on Thursday with this Supreme Court of Canada ruling against our fear mongering, Stalinist political elites. Up to last Thursday, I was pretty convinced that we were doomed as a society, proudly sharing the spotlight with totalitarianist Cuba as one of only two demented nations in the world that outlaw privately insured healthcare. That's right: in this country, you're not allowed to take care of yourself; the state dictates that it does that for you, lest anyone pay to jump the cue and get preferential medical treatment, thereby encouraging a private, parallel program - God forbid, a two-tier system. Private healthcare: bad; public healthcare: good. Privately delivered, bad; privately insured, bad; privately built, owned and operated, bad. Thou shall not profit from medicine. Thou shall not countenance two-tier healthcare.

Meanwhile, patients are left to languish and die on the single-tier waiting lists due to the rationing of limited public resources. Not astonishingly one such man from Quebec, suffering from a basic instinct of self-preservation, believed this was tantamount to political manslaughter, and so took the government to court for not allowing him to pay/insure to save his own life (apparently in Quebec you are allowed to purchase healthcare, but not allowed to self-insure; a prohibition that favours the rich over the middle class. So much for the political lie that we don't have two-tier medicine). Think about that for a second. Your country does not permit people in the main to purchase necessary medical treatment. What does that say about your country? Is this what the left means by generosity and compassion? That even after paying into the public system through your own hardwork and taxes, you are not permitted to relieve said system even more by taking care of your immediate medical needs youself? Not even to the point of saving your own life? A government that believes that and believes that dogmatically, is a government that should be euthanized at the earliest opportunity. Thankfully, we may yet be spared from this dictatorial Liberal madness, given the badly needed dose of common sense just handed down to us from our Supremes.
