I have watched the CBC horror flick tonight and right now the liberals are on my "don't knock on my door" for the election.  This terrible and bias CBC TV program on Medicare/Schmedicare is an atrocity to Canadians, intellient Canadians who voted Tommy Douglas the most respect Canadian EVER!! Even a recent poll shows Health Care is the number one concern.  But we don't mean for more or any private care.

It was the liberals that ripped the heart out of medicare while thousands of Canadians died waiting for care.  The health care system isn't broke, our governments are defunct, no spine, no guts and no leadership.  They allowed the for-profiteers to set up private clinics, rape our public system of doctors, nurses, medical technologist and more, while the Canada Health Act was and is violated again and again you did NOTHING!!  This is a criminal act, yet you did nothing??!!  Why?

Public health care is NOT and I repeat NOT Free Health Care, just publicly delivered and publicly funded health care.  Our taxes pay dearly for it and all regular Canadians pay more taxes than many Corporations.

If they want our votes, then get rid of the private health care clinics, and put the doctors back in the public system where they belong instead of gouging the sick, ill and dying patients while families sit back in helplessness.  I know, I was one, and am one.  I want the health care system that was supposed to happen before the last 10 years of cuts to health care budgets to the provinces, when provinces were forced to close thousands of beds and lay off thousands of staff.  It is now time to put our money where we want it and that is in health care.

A recent (uncovered) federal finance committee report which proved there is more than enough dollars for all the baby-boomers without ever having had to reform health care.  Now that is not the kind of legend the federal liberals or provincial Conservatives want on their shoulders, now is it?

It's time Paul Martin starting putting Canadians first because we deserve it, we certainly are worth more than a pack of gum on some MPs expense claim.

I suggest candidates get with the program and support publicly delivered and publicly funded health care so much so that the profiteers will have no choice but to close up shop. - PERIOD!  If not, then please do not knock on MY door this Christmas election.  Thank you very much.
