I don't want to hear any more comparisons about, "The Canadian health service is good in this way, bad in that way." I don't care.
When you have a dictator, sometimes it's a benevolent dictator, and sometimes it's a malevolent dictator. Elizabeth I was a good queen; Queen Victoria had her good points. Caligula was a bad emperor. Ivan the Terrible was a bad czar. There are good ones, and bad ones.
But I don't want a king or a czar. I want to be a free citizen. I don't want Obama deciding how he'll "reward" doctors, and for what.
These tin-horn dictators, like the creepy weasel Rahm Immanuel, are power trippers. They want to control society, and remake it is their desired image. Their main objectives are 1) to bash anybody making a "profit" or an independent income from medicine. That's why Obama is bashing doctors for doing unnecessary tonsillectomies because of the profit motive.
And 2) they don't want those fat-cat rich people getting better care than poor people. They'll turn the whole medical field into a vast slum just to spite rich people. You can call that socialist, or fascist, or dog-in-a-manger, whatever you want, but that's the motivation.
We have the best medical system in the world, precisely because it's not a "system." It's not organized and enslaved under some bureaucrat's control -- though to some degree it is. We can't let the power-mad Obama administration crush the remaining independent medical entities.
