Sometimes we have a problem and a kind soul offered to us to fix it, because sometimes it is Dr. Jacques Chaoulli who wants to lead us to the Promised Land . His website says, the existence of the Chaoulli Group (note the term "Group", which aims to give a warm and anti-corporate the company) will have a profoundly positive effect on accessibility health care in Quebec.
me at the already inhabited Promised Land mentioned here. This land called Turkey, or else the United States. In both cases, it is quite fair to say that a system of two-tier health allows quick access to quality health care equal to or greater than those of the Quebec system. A little sore and you want to see a specialist within 24 hours? It happened to me, and I guarantee that the experience is not unpleasant.
Obviously, health insurance remains of insurance: you have to read the fine print. Such access is "enabled", but certainly not guaranteed to the entire population. And affirm that the existence of a private alternative would not affect the public financing system is at best a touching naivete (and at worst a dangerous combination of stupidity and contempt). George W. Bush has just vetoed the expansion of a program of free health care for poor children. The question we must ask the proponents of Chaoulli, is first and foremost they believe that Bush would also oppose the measure if it had affected her own children. Touching naivete, no doubt.
This does not mean, of course, there is no problem. But it is difficult to find a valid solution to a problem when one is mistaken about its cause.
I'm always fascinated by the incredible ability to Quebec public opinion has to ignore the parallels between his own problems and those of other countries. We ramble on the theme of aging, but it ignores an ongoing debate also surrounds the financing of health care in the United States. In a country where such funding is first and foremost through employers, no reason to focus the blame on the Boomers in walker.
There are dozens of factors that contribute to dissatisfaction with the Quebec health system, but one of them, in my view central to all appears to be ignored. Télécino: In the movie Sicko of Michaeol Moore describes the extreme case of injustice, a guy who lost two fingers in an accident and whose insurance company refuses to cover for him to sew it. Amazement, indignation and petition of three hundred seventy-five miles names for justice and ring are made. Télécino thank you.
Injustice, yes or no. One hundred years ago, a multimillionaire who suffered a similar accident would never have dreamed of being sew a finger - let alone both.
In fact, the conjunction of two principles that causes a lot of our problems. On the one hand, access to healthcare must be universal and uniform. On the other hand, this access must include the latest developments in medical research, otherwise it is an injustice. These two principles remain fully compatible with unlimited budgets.
The solution of the Chaoulli Group is not a simple alternative without impacting the public health system in Quebec but the choice of one of these two principles (access to the best possible treatment) at the expense of another ( uniform and universal access). The very existence of the Group engages the entire population of Quebec, transforming the decision of a small group of people in social choice.
Oh yes, for a small fee you will have quick access to quality prenatal care. Your children will be born still free, but will no longer need to be born equal. * * *
Andre Drouin, the Hérouxvillain Chief demand independence for Quebec to remove anyone the use of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. And he adds, "Look what happens in other countries, do not wait too long."
Andre Drouin not only offers a model of society, it also represents a new model of political action: It puts people on guard against himself. And yet you dare not find it nice?
