Is a pregnant woman, driving 300+ miles to deliver her babies, the future of American health care?

Smellycat strikes again! :-) You know why that is, smelly? Because bureaucrats are running the Canadian health-care system. I just can’t figure out why you can’t see the problem here. It took bureaucrats two weeks to get aid to Katrina victims, and you want to give them control of your health care. I just don’t get it.
Yes Frank, I have thought about that. Universal HMOs are not the answer - neither is socialist style health care. We could do worse than what we have now, and it looks like we may find out just how much worse.

    The difficulty is that Calgary Hospital continues to grow at such a rapid rate. … The population has increased a lot faster than the number of hospital beds.

    You were saying?

    Don’t try to put your spin on this issue. Nice try, though. Some of us read.

    An insurance company says someone cant get treatment at particular hospital and instead must travel.
