    Extractions: I Support: From Issue 5 (1998) of Challenging Destiny , a new Canadian SF magazine. I was interviewed at length in person by the editors, but theys sent me these two follow-up questions in June 1998: Challenging Destiny: Could you tell us about some of the responses you've received to the ethical points you've made in your books? Robert J. Sawyer: A. By and large the reaction has been extremely positive. I expected to take some flak from people on both sides of the abortion issue for what I said in The Terminal Experiment The Terminal Experiment banned because it did not, in her view, support organ donation; of course that's utter nonsense, but there's very little you can do when confronted by someone who is clearly out of touch with reality. I suppose the comment I get most often about the ethical issues I raise in my novels is, "I don't necessarily agree with you, but you did make me think." I can't ask for anything more than that. Challenging Destiny: In Far-Seer , you talk about how the Quintaglios need to undergo a rite of passage as a race, and in Starplex , Keith comes to realize the same thing about humans. What rite of passage do you think our civilization will go through next? Should go through next?

83. Nationalized Health Care Is Beneficial

    http://pa.essortment.com/nationalizedhea_rtqq.htm
    
    Extractions: Nationalized health care is beneficial Studies by Census Bureau, New England Journal of Medicine, University of Michigan and Notre Dame show that poor people are more likely to be sick. Because these people are poor, they often don't have access to health insurance and are more likely to be forced to pay for medical care out-of-pocket. There are two things poor people can do at this point. One: get needed medical care and suffer huge financial losses thus being driven further into poverty. Two: they opt to forego treatment because the costs are prohibitive. The health of those who forego treatment deteriorates, they become less productive, missing days of work, losing human capital, and becoming even poorer. Sometimes the people who choose to forego care reach a critical point where they must get medical help. The cost of this treatment impoverishes them even more. The following example illustrates this viscious cycle of impoverishment. Although government data on this subject is poor, a review of the last 300 bankruptcy cases in Arkansas showed a medical bill in half of them. According to the New York Times, bankruptcy lawyer Danielle Walker estimates that 40% of her clients have medical problems that caused them to file. This is direct evidence of high health care costs forcing people into poverty. bodyOffer(19604) A nationalized health insurance program would solve this problem by providing health care for everyone regardless of their ability to pay.

    Extractions: Socialized MedicineOne Size Fits None Andrew Sawatzky, the elderly Manitoba man whose wife went to court to fight the "Do Not Resuscitate" order placed on his hospital chart, is probably part of a fairly small minority. His wife says he wants resuscitation if he has another stroke, even though the attempt might fail or leave him permanently unconscious. I discuss these life-and-death issues frequently with clients when preparing powers of attorney. The vast majority recoil from the thought of becoming brain-dead husks on permanent life support. Most say that if their doctors pronounce further treatment futile, they would rather accept the verdict and "die with dignity." But what’s right or wrong in cases like this can’t be determined by public opinion poll. It doesn’t matter what 99 people would choose, if the hundredth person wants something different. The question still remains: what should be done about Mr. Sawatzky? To me, the ethical principles that should be applied are simple. Everyone should be free to conduct his life however he pleases, so long as he leaves others free to do the same. It’s wrong to use force—including the force behind our court system—to bend someone to your will, except to enforce a contract the other person previously agreed to.

    Medicare was always, and was always intended, as a Trojan Horse for a British orCanadian kind of socialized medicine. What socialism does is drive up prices.

    Extractions: Kelley Ross for State Assembly, Oh! No! Whether abortion is right or wrong, making abortion illegal again is giving the state too much power . What goes on inside our bodies is so intimate and private that, if the state really is given responsibility over wombs , it must be given police powers far beyond anything that it can safely be trusted with. Anti-abortion efforts, also, should be seen as part of attacks on parental rights , since the impulse to intervene on behalf of other people's children does not stop when babies are born. Excesses in "child protection" have today resulted in parents, both mothers and fathers, being put in jail over trumped-up charges of child molestation in hysterical and witch-hunt-like circumstances. Some consistency would be nice. Parents, in general, are going to have greater interest in their children than anyone else. Bureaucrats, judges, and do-gooders, whether "pro-lifers" or children's "advocates," can congratulate themselves on how caring they are, but they are rarely able to assume the responsibility for individual children that they may decide should not be exercised by the parents. How such people generate child abuse may be seen, for example, in

    Extractions: Home Newswire About Us Donate ... Sign-Up Featured Views Share This Article With Your Friends Published on Wednesday, December 6, 2000 in the Omaha World-Herald No Wonder Seniors Buy Canadian Drugs Editorial The Canadian cross-border trade in pharmaceuticals continues to expand with the opening of a Web site for doctors willing to act as go-betweens for their elderly patients. That helps increase the pressure on the drug industry as well as Congress to address the problem of high costs. Some older Americans have for years headed across the United States' northern border to buy the medicines they need but can't afford. Drug prices there can be half or a quarter of prices in the United States. Canadian drug prices are so much lower because the country's system of socialized medicine keeps a tight hold on pharmaceutical costs. In addition, U.S. drug prices are high because companies add the cost of research and development as well as the price of lobbying and expensive advertising campaigns. Senior citizens, many of whom are on fixed incomes and use more drugs than other Americans, feel the pinch. Horror stories abound: A Vermont woman who paid $95 a month for the tamoxifen that kept breast cancer at bay now goes to Canada, where the drug costs her $125 a year. An older couple who were paying thousands of dollars a year for medicines were able to cut that expenditure in half by a regular northward journey. Some charitable organizations sponsor drug-buying trips, and a small industry has sprung up to help seniors. Chartered buses operate on a regular schedule from many areas within a day's drive - or sometimes more - of Canada. Once there, seniors see sympathetic Canadian doctors or U.S. doctors with licenses to prescribe drugs in both the United States and Canada. Pharmacies near the border accommodate Americans gladly; some even offer amenities such as free sandwiches while customers wait.

    http://www.pierrelemieux.org/arttwotier.html
    
    Extractions: Pierre Lemieux S trangely, or perhaps conveniently, the political debate on public health insurance has ignored the system’s fundamental feature: private insurance (other than complementary insurance for uninsured public services) is forbidden by law. For reasons we will see, many people don’t believe this, or don’t believe it matters. Let’s look at a sample of provincial health insurance laws adopted in the late 60s or early 70s. – Ontario Health Insurance Act, section 14, subsection 1, titled “Other insurance prohibited”: “Every contract of insurance … for the payment of or reimbursement or indemnification for all or any part of the cost of any insured services … performed in Ontario for any person eligible to become an insured person under this Act, is void and of no effect in so far as it makes provision for insuring against the costs payable by the [Ontario Health Insurance] Plan and no person shall enter into or renew such a contract.” Non-government insurance is only permitted for non-insured services. “Insured services” are defined in section 11.2(1) as “prescribed medically necessary services” which are paid for by OHIP. – Alberta Health Care Insurance Act, section 17, subsection 2: “An insurer shall not enter into, issue, maintain in force or renew a contract or initiate or renew a self-insurance plan under which any resident or group of residents is provided with any prepaid basic health services or extended health services or indemnification for all or part of the cost of any basic health services or extended health services.” As defined by subsection 1, “self-insurance” basically means private insurance. An exception is made in subsection 4 for supplementary insurance “over and above the benefits payable by the Minister.”

Daily Briefing News Release Archive Commentary Archive Heritage Experts ... Return Home British, Canadian Experience Shows Folly of Socialized Medicine, Analyst Says WASHINGTON, Sept. 29, 2000— Even as some Americans head north to get cheaper prescription drugs from Canada, many more Canadians are heading south—to buy the drugs and vital medical services they can’t get at any price under their country’s highly touted system of government-run health care. Lack of access to prescription drugs—an inevitable result of the rationing that occurs under nearly every form of socialized medicine—is only one of the problems patients encounter with the so-called "universal health coverage" found in Canada and Britain, a new Heritage Foundation paper says. Vice President Al Gore recently predicted the United States would adopt such a system "within this decade." But according to Heritage healthcare expert James Frogue, that means U.S. patients would be forced to suffer the same fate as their counterparts in Britain and Canada: long waiting lists, government rationing and substandard care. The waiting lists for treatment in both countries, even for serious conditions, are notoriously long, Frogue says. One Canadian cardiologist, Dr. Richard Davies, recently wrote in the

    Extractions: Search this site SOCIALIZED MEDICINE By Marlene Piturro, PhD, MBA Resources are finite. Demand is infinite. The United States and Canada have built health care systems that attempt to reconcile the irreconcilable imbalance between supply and demand differently. Adjacent geographically, the two nations often seem worlds apart on health care financing and delivery. Canada publicly finances and privately delivers universal health care coverage with 10 provincial and 2 territorial governments linked through adherence to federal standards. Each provincial plan must adhere to the Canada Health Care Act of 1984's stipulations that it be publicly administered, comprehensive, universal, accessible, and portable. In contrast, the U.S. relies on a mix of public and private payers that leaves over 40 million uninsured, some underinsured, and some with too generous coverage. Canada's system is fee for service; there are no copayments, deductibles, or third-party intermediaries controlling utilization. Canada, U.S. at a glance
