We should do what we can to be healthy, but there are many things over which we as individuals have no control. Our governments seem to be one of those things.

I thank God for Tommy Douglas every single time I go to a hospital or a clinic. He was relentless in pursuit of a medicare system, and we really have him to thank. If you feel one person can't change things, ya gotta give that a second, third, fourth . . . thought. Tommy Douglas did!

Yes, we lost lots of doctors. About 10,000 went to the US because wages were better. (Seems obvious they went for the money, but that's another thing.) However, if a country like Canada can do it then for sure the USA can.

By all means GET really really PISSED OFF. It's about time you did. Make your wannabe leaders commit to a plan for medicare. Do NOT let them give you the, "Well, yes, it is my intention to ensure the best health care possible for ALL Americans." That is just horseshit disguised as bullshit. Make them talk about it. FORCE the issue.
