American greed-driven private health care and insurance companies are eager to profit from the dismantling of the public health care system.
The Kirby Sham Committee Report
Headed by Liberal Senator Michael Kirby, Board member of American private nursing home giant Extendicare Inc., aided by Senator Wilbert Keon, a bigwig at Worldheart corp. and Senator Yves Morin in charge of facilitating the commercialization of health research in Canada, this Senate committee apparent re-scheduled the timing of the release of its reports conveniently preempting Romanow. In a report released more than a year ago, Kirby's committee sets out a list of ways to privatize the health care system; and calls for an end to the alleged "archaic public Medicare model"; and furthermore suggests tossing out the "public administration" principle of the Canada Health Act. Without bothering to provide any evidence or participatory democratic support, and in contradiction to the committee's previous papers, the Report suggests that the federal government consider "privatized service delivery", "user fees" and "medical savings accounts" in a bid to create an American-inspired "21st-century health service industry".

Well, I'd argue in return that recommendations on the Canadian health care system made by Roy Romanow, who is not only a New Democrat but a *Saskatchewan* New Democrat for crying out loud, were bound to be biased in favour of preservation of the status quo or expansion of the public system. You might as well have had Shirley Douglas heading up that committee.
Oh, but I guess bias only counts if there's an element of personal financial gain to it.

As an aside, there is no such thing as an individualist, as you cannot help but be a member of society. In a modern society, this of necessity involves dependence on each other to a huge degree which in turn implies that we owe something to society for the benefits we receive from being a member of it. Of course, I suppose you could live without input from the rest in a cold damp cave in the stone age with nothing but the sticks and stones you can manage to gather for yourself.
