Private Health Care: It's Not Just For Capitalists
Posted by Dave Blount at January 13, 2006 1:26 PM
Now for news on another Moonbat Jack, the leader of Canada's New Democratic Party, Jack Layton. He's in hot water for getting medical care for a hernia from a private health clinic, instead of waiting for substandard care from the government like a good socialist.
His claims that he didn't know it was a private health clinic are somewhat dubious. Wouldn't not having to go on a waiting list for several years have aroused some suspicion?
Of course, any sane person would prefer private to socialized health care. That's why so many Canadians cross the border to pay for health care over here, even after they've already paid for health care back home through their stratospheric taxes. But as head of the NDP, Layton doesn't count as a sane person. As The Globe and Mail points out:
Mr. Layton has attacked the flow of public money into private clinics and accused the Liberals and Tories of allowing it to happen.
Maybe he got that hernia from lugging around his gall.
On a tip from V the K.
