Is there anything left over for the private sector? Healthcare is delivered efficiently in this province? &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;It took me less than two weeks to have a cyst on my back examined and removed in the United States. In Canada it took me at least a couple of months to get the same cyst examined and the dermatologist couldn't be bothered to take five minutes out of his schedule to remove it.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;What's the bloody point of voting Conservative if they aren't even going to experiment with some moderate reforms in health care and education?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31847615/5054763122355099241/comments/default/8726290916029993702'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31847615/5054763122355099241/comments/default/8726290916029993702'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://unapwpgr.blogspot.com/2007/04/compassionate-conservatism.html?showComment=1176250920000#c8726290916029993702' title=''/><author><name>Mark</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05500183382693034426</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://unapwpgr.blogspot.com/2007/04/compassionate-conservatism.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847615.post-5054763122355099241' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31847615/posts/default/5054763122355099241' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
