Letter To The Editor Of The Day

In one of my last posts I was disturbed by the content of a letter to the editor. The person basically shrugged her shoulders and said "what can you?" when it comes to our public health system. The fact that we have a "free" system that covers everyone is not an excuse to accept mediocrity. Ideology should not prevail over our practical senses.

I plucked this letter also responding to her letter:

"As a former resident of B.C. - where doctors' appointments are scheduled within days and serious medical procedures are performed within a couple of months - I must say the health-care situation in Quebec is alarming.

It is more disturbing to read that some Quebec citizens not only accept it, but compare Quebec health care only to the U.S.

And it is very reassuring to see forward- thinking provinces like B.C. and Alberta making health care a priority."

A.C.D

Amen, brotha, Amen.
