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.
