While We the People Have the Floor
Now that the Ontario provincial election campaign is underway and all that hypocrisy re education funding is out in the open and we've all agreed "it may be stupid, but it's the status quo, so..." - what about our dual healthcare system?
And no, I'm not talking about all the private profit operations being funded with tax dollars that a little kick of the public purse will reveal. I'm talking about Catholic hospitals. And communities where there once may have been both a public and Catholic hospital where there is now just a Catholic hospital.
Why, in 2007, is religion playing any kind of role at all in medicine? Gud Gawd in Hevin. That's what we need, voodoo mixed with science to treat patients.
And if John Tory et al are so concerned that there be religious fairness to square away religious unfairness in publicly funded education, why not insist on the same for publicly funded healthcare?
Islamic hospitals anyone?
