SENIOR HEALTH CARE
The Canadian perspective on Health Care Reform ...
HEALTH CARE - The other day, while discussing the under funding of Canada’s Health Care Program and the recently announced drastic cuts to British Columbia’s health care budget, especially for seniors, I and a friend think we have found the solution.I am sure you have heard the ideas that if you’re a senior you need to suck it up and give up the idea that you need any health care. A new hip? Unheard of! We simply can't afford to take care of you anymore. You don't need any medications for your high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems, etc. Let's take care of the young people. After all, they will be ruling the world very soon.
So here is the solution. When you turn 70, you get a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot 2 federal M.P.’s and 2 BC MLA’s. Of course, you will be sent to prison where you will get 3 meals a day, a roof over your head and all the health care you need! New teeth, absolutely! Need glasses, no problem. New hip, knee, kidney, heart? Well bring it on. And who will be paying for all of this? The same government that just told you that you are too old for health care. And, since you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income tax… Any questions?
