The Health Care Dictatorship. cont..

   Tomorrow, the face of health care in Ontario may change drastically.  The Physicians Service Agreement which the dictatorial Liberal Government and it's department of health administridiots is desperately trying to force down the throat of a weak submissive Ontario Medical Association will have the devastating effect of shifting the remaining portion of health care from those who have willingly dedicated their lives to providing exemplary health care to the people of Canada and transfer the responsibility to a group, mostly with business backgrounds and let them run amuck with it.   Unfortunately, most Canadians do not realize the quality of health care they have enjoyed and only that 17% or so, of those who use it currently have noticed much difference.  Believe me, there is a steady erosion of health care, but you haven't seen anything yet!   Your government, which states they cannot afford to maintain the current system and has already applied cutbacks that most folks haven't noted yet, including substantial cut backs to physicians and numerous nursing cuts, invites largely inadequately screened immigrants into the country, who generate huge, and I mean huge expenses to the system while Canadians wait and wait (and sometimes die waiting).  Physicians who can afford to, take an early retirement, or partially retire, while others move to provinces with a more respectful attitude.  Meanwhile, Canada will continue to try to fill the gap by scavanging the world, (particularly the poor countries) for foreign medical graduates whom they can control by restrictive licensing practices.  It is certainly cheaper than training our own, even if it is immoral.
   The dictatorial decree that our political masters have issued, in preventing those who do want to pay for their own care from doing so, is inappropriate.  In order to do this, they force Canadians to spend their hard earned money supporting out of country health care systems, when it could be so usefully used by ours.  Another example of the idiocy of so called political correctness. (Well, perhaps POLITICAL correctness is a suitable name, because there is no other sphere in which it is correct.)
   I have always been strongly opposed to health professionals taking strike action.  I thought health care was too important for that, but now I see it declining so rapidly and physicians becoming so demoralized, that I think there is no option.
   I may be retired, but the OMA has informed me I still have a vote.  If you have read this far, I don't have to tell you how that vote will be cast!
 Tell me what you think.
