Someone brought my attention to this yesterday. Now before you blow a gasket ,this is a preacher without the preaching.......

Its almost all you need to know about the Federal Reserve and National debt.

There are 5 videos and I think you will be shocked. Its a lesson that I personally think its too late to remedy.

Ron Paul says he will shut down the federal reserve.....you need to be sure to hang in there on the videos to learn what the federal reserve is. I thought it had something to do with the federal government. SILLY ME

Here is one HUUUUUUUUMUNGOUS problem that Ron Paul will have if he were elected President.

He will be a target for assassination

As you all know (I think), I went to the emergency room with a possible kidney infection because I was scared I would go into premature labor! It's a VERY valid thought in pregnancy. Anyways, I get in there...wait an hour even AFTER I get into the room, and the doctor comes in, feels my back, gives me Hydrocodone for the pain (not good for pregnancy), and tells me to come back if it gets worse!!! I hate this "WAIT AND SEE" ethic that MANY doctor's have! That visit cost me about $500 with a $150 DEPOSIT! Then if I would have "followed doctor's orders", I would have had to spend another $30 on my prescription, which isn't too bad, but it's MORE MONEY! And what did I get out of my ER visit? A shove back home with some pills that made me sicker than I was! Thank the Lord I got into my regular doctor the next week. Oh and some info for any pregnant women out there (in Dodge City), DON'T go to the ER for care after 20 weeks along! Even Madson told me that they are too scared to take care of pregnant women there! They just look you over and say..."hmmm....I don't think there's anything I can do here". Make sure you go to the Women's Center for ANY care after that time. There you will get the FULL treatment you need. Oh and some Dr. Kapur (the one who sent me to the ER)(he's a resident) was on call for FPA (Family Practice Associates). HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL HE IS DOING! He prescribed me an antibiotic that isn't normally considered safe for pregnancy and Madson couldn't say enough about how much he DOESN'T know! Watch out for him!! As for me, I have a huge a$$ hospital bill now, with NO HELP to show for it. I guess I'll feed some gasoline into those ER doctors' convertibles.

Tell that to the Canadians, the Brits and the French. Healthcare is free in those countries. Think of it like the whole country is one big group and the tax you pay for the healthcare is your group insurance premium. One extremely large group (the country) would be cheaper than thousands of smaller groups paying larger insurance premiums. Ask the citizens of those countries if they would want to change it and pay less in taxes....

The health care system in Canada is largely government-funded, with most services provided by private enterprises. Waiting times for major non-emergency surgery have been longer in Canada, and Canada has been slightly slower to adopt expensive technology and medicines. Consequently, Canada has had higher mortality rates for some conditions, such as heart attacks.[8] Canadian health administrators say that these problems are improving. [9]

One of the major complaints about the Canadian health care system is waiting times, whether for a specialist, major elective surgery, such as hip replacement, or specialized treatments, such as radiation for breast cancer. Studies by the Commonwealth Fund found that 24% of Canadians waited 4 hours or more in the emergency room, vs. 12% in the U.S.; 57% waited 4 weeks or more to see a specialist, vs. 23% in the U.S.[38]

In a 2003 survey of hospital administrators conducted in Canada, the U.S., and three other countries, 21% of Canadian hospital administrators, but less than 1% of American administrators, said that it would take over three weeks to do a biopsy for possible breast cancer on a 50-year-old woman; 50% of Canadian administrators versus none of their American counterparts said that it would take over six months for a 65-year-old to undergo a routine hip replacement surgery.

In the Canadian Supreme Court case of Chaoulli v. Quebec, Chaoulli argued that the long waits were life-threatening and violated human rights, and that doctors and patients had a right to contract for private health care, despite the prohibitions on those medical services.

Canadians concede that waiting time is a problem that stems from the country's lower costs and commitment to universal coverage. In a letter to the Wall Street Journal, Robert S. Bell, M.D., President and CEO of University Health Network, Toronto, said that Michael Moore's film Sicko "exaggerated the performance of the Canadian health system — there is no doubt that too many patients still stay in our emergency departments waiting for admission to scarce hospital beds."

In Canada, increasing demands for health care, due to the aging population, must be met by either increasing taxes or reducing other government programs. In the United States, under the current system, more of the burden for health care will be taken up by the private sector and individuals.

Canada is the only industrialized country that has banned private medical insurance for services covered by the public health plan.

You think the lines are long in the waiting room NOW...wait until health care is free for everyone, you won't be able to see a doctor without a lonnnnng wait.

It's been said that the people in Canada that can afford it come to the U.S. for major surgery and such. I wonder why that is?

While this is true, unfortunately the system is overloaded and getting to see a doctor (let alone a specialist) can sometimes take a week. My father waited nearly 2 years for a hernia operation.

I think also that the waiting list for an abortion is currently about 10 months.









(that last bit was a joke, in case I needed to explain it)

I don't know that I would trust wikipedia for this one. Anybody can add information to wikipedia, true or not...

Here are some links to PDF files from a report from the Canadian Institute for Health Information.



This contains info with all kinds of data about Assessment and Diagnostics...

This one contains info and data about Surgery, pay particular attention to the graphs on page 30...

I found this info on page 34 interesting...



In addition to benchmarks for cancer screening, Ministers of Health committed
to strive to provide:
• radiation therapy to treat cancer within four weeks of patients being
ready to treat;
• surgical repair of hip fracture within 48 hours;
• cardiac bypass surgery within 2–26 weeks, depending on how urgently
care is required;
• hip replacements within 26 weeks;
• knee replacements within 26 weeks; and
• surgery to remove cataracts within 16 weeks for patients who are at
high risk.
