Dear Editor,
Canada鈥檚 Medicare is supposed to take care of us when we are sick and put us on the road to recovery. However, Canada鈥檚 Medicare is functioning in a haphazard way with its hit and miss fashion while trying to make us physically well.
Canada鈥檚 Medicare is in most ways a 鈥榙isaster鈥� and what we got when a Scottish pauper (Tommy) came to this country decades ago as an immigrant, soon to be ill and thought that his new found fellow citizens should pay through 鈥榯axation鈥� for his rehabilitation, hence Medicare.
This concept/thought/Medicare is outrageous in practice, and is being cemented into our lives through the courts with rulings against Dr. Day, a champion of 鈥榩arallel positive private鈥� health care.
This is not too surprising to many of us who have experienced almost all of our allotted decades in this troubled Canada.
James Charles, Brookswood
