Michael, Your link http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,192277,00.html deals with an article titled "Al Sharpton on the Duke Rape Arrests". There is no mention of Canadian mothers and babies being sent to the U.S. anywhere in the article.
Besides, the interviewer is Bill O'Reilly, who most decent people consider an intellectually challenged wing-nut. For your information, Canada does not have "a communist health care system". We pay for health care through our taxes. And in Ontario, where I live, we pay an additional health care premium of up to $900 per year based on income that's designated specifically for health care. In addition, we pay for various other health care items such as dental, prescription drugs, eye glasses and some diagnostic procedures not covered by our publicly funded system. We can also pay third party insurance premiums for these items not covered by the public system. I hardly call that communist. I think you have been feed too much propaganda from big insurance companies that want to profit from health care. I recall that there were a FEW babies that were sent to the U.S. for proper care. This was because the U.S. had developed a program for the particular health issues that the babies had. It was cheaper to pay the U.S. facility to care for them than waste money to develop a Canadian program. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Michael Madigan > Sent: Wednesday, October 10, 2007 6:47 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [OT] Canada using US Hospitals as a safety net > > Because Canada is using a communist health care > system, there isn't enough money to pay for facilities > that specialize in premature babies. > > So they're sending their mothers and babies HERE. > > Michael Moore won't tell you this. > > So if The United States goes by the Canada communist > health care model, where do we send our premature > babies?
