    America needs a health care system like Canada's.

    How many jackass liberals have you heard spout that line? To Hell with Canada's health care system.

    An elderly B.C. man is upset after a provincial health authority stripped him and his wife of their legal and financial rights when he complained repeatedly about his wife's care in the local hospital.

    "She would have been far better at home," said George Brent, 83, of his wife's care at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail, B.C. "But, I'm strapped by legalities set forth by government."

    Brent's 81-year-old wife, Dolores, was admitted to the hospital in Trail, in southeastern B.C. near the border with Washington, in August 2009 after suffering a heart attack.

    After she recovered, her husband told hospital staff he wanted to take her back to their home in nearby Montrose.

    Instead, the hospital moved her into its long-term care wing, saying she was too frail to leave.

    "She would ask me every day, 'When can I get out of here?'" Brent said. "They stated that I wouldn't be allowed to take her home."

    In the long-term care wing, Dolores Brent's health deteriorated. She suffered a stroke, and dementia set in.

    "For me, that was just another pin in my heart — a reminder of my inability to do anything for her," Brent said.

    Canada?? I thought Cuba was the model for all socialized health care....

    The first big hint Obamacare is going to be a ineffective healthcare plan was when the government decided to run it. The second hint was when the uppity members of Congress forced it upon us, but did not want it for their own plan.

    Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.
