Sarah Burke And Health Care

Look at the opinion here that far too many have of Canada and their health care. The truth cannot be heard over the lies of the 1%'s media machine. To get people to hate/despise/fear something that is in their best interest tells me the change we need is not coming anytime soon or if ever.


"The irony is that had the accident occurred in Canada… her care would have been covered because, unlike the U.S., Canada has a system of universal coverage," wrote Wendell Potter, an insurance executive-turned-whistleblower who writes for iWatch at the Center for Public Integrity. "No one in Canada finds themselves in that predicament, nor do they face losing their homes as many Americans do when they become critically ill or suffer an injury..." 

The original article linked to is gone. The gist of that was that if she was in Canada medical care and in particular the cost for it was a none issue. But it didn't happen there but here so there's that damn bill we all get to pay to make sure the 1% profit margins are maintained.
