All You Need To Know About Socialists

Can be found in this transcript.  It doesn’t matter what YOU want – your leftist overlords know better, and will vote for what they think is best for you, regardless of your wishes.

MASSA: I will vote adamantly against the interests of my district if I actually think what I am doing is going to be helpful.

(inaudible participants’ comments regarding the “interests” of the district statement from Mr. Massa)

Massa: I will vote against their opinion if I actually believe it will help them.

Got that?  Massa will expressly vote AGAINST the wishes of the people who voted him into office – if he feels he knows better.  This elitist crap is just beyond the pale.  Reminds me of a Five Feet of Fury tagline:

Dichotomous, Indeed

While the Obama administration tries to stampede the American public to accept a “Government centered” health plan, Canada’s doctor’s try to get people to run towards a “patient centered” health plan.  All Canadians do is bitch about health care – unless there’s an American TV station asking them how they like their system – then it somehow becomes “perfect”.

Dr. Anne Doig says patients are getting less than optimal care and she adds that physicians from across the country – who will gather in Saskatoon on Sunday for their annual meeting – recognize that changes must be made.

“We all agree that the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize,” Doing said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

“We know that there must be change,” she said. “We’re all running flat out, we’re all just trying to stay ahead of the immediate day-to-day demands.”

Then, of course, there’s this nugget:

Doig, who has had a full-time family practice in Saskatoon for 30 years, acknowledges that when physicians have talked about changing the health-care system in the past, they’ve been accused of wanting an American-style structure. She insists that’s not the case.

Because nothing, NOTHING, in Canada is worse than being accused of being an American, or thinking like one.

And finally (emphasis mine),

Doig says there are some “very good things” about Canada’s health-care system, but she points out that many people have stories about times when things didn’t go well for them or their family.

“(Canadians) have to understand that the system that we have right now – if it keeps on going without change – is not sustainable,” said Doig.

But wait a minute – aren’t we being told that the only way we can sustain our current health care in America is to radically overhaul it so it is government run?  Meanwhile, our closest neighbor to the North can’t sustain it with a population 1/10th the size of the US?  So, who are you going to believe – the doctors practicing under a “public option” system who say it is broken, or the politicians trying to ramrod a public option health care system down your gullet as the only way to save health care.  Nothing like building your model on a real life example of failure, I guess.  Come to think of it – why are the left so enamoured of socialism?
