Who uses public health?

This morning the story has broke that our most honest lefty Jack Layton has decided that private clinics are a-ok to him. I believe he has chastised Stephen Harper for saying that he would send a loved one to a private clinic if it is needed. I also believe that he has said that public money will not be able to go to private clinics. Jack has mentioned that he had no idea that the clinic was private but I find that hard to believe. It has a putting green. Don't believe me? It is a clinic that has a "country club appeal." Oh and the CBC has said it is a private clinic. Jack should have known.

But Jack defends going to this clinic because "Ontario health paid for it." Isn't that what Jack wants to stop? Public money going to private clinics? Maybe I misunderstood that part of his platform.

And we all know that Paul Martin loves his private health clinics. The person who says he is the biggest defender of public health sure doesn't practice what he preaches. So Paully Paul supports one.

Where has this left us? With this common knowledge. The Liberals and the NDs say one thing and do another. They say they are against private health but support it.

Harper, on the other hand, supports public health but realizes the important roll private health care plays in our system. Although Harper has never used a private health clinic. So he is the only one that actually uses the public system...hmmmmmm. I guess Harper is like the other two, say one thing do another. The difference, Harper says he would use a private system, except he never has.

Huh, to me this is so very, very scary because he uses the public health system when he says he will use the private.

I got three words for you:

Go Stephen, go!!
