| That was the reply from Stephen Duckett, Alberta's top Health Services official when reporters asked him about the Province's failing health care system. In case you were unaware, Canada's single payer health care system is drowning in red ink and wait lines. |

| #5 Noone was on the ground seeing the big picture, everyone was just fire-fighting. You have to watch out for that Noone guy, he causes problems everywhere he goes! |

| #4 I had a visit to Britains NHS last week... Now it wasn't all bad, but most of it was. Some of the staff were good, however it was obvious: Bureaucracy was hampering The processes were there but not right. The flow through the building was all wrong The queues were too long There were too few staff The Organisation wasn't there. Noone was on the ground seeing the big picture, everyone was just fire-fighting. Exactly what you'd expect seeing the incentives/structure. No wonder it kills so many. My initial contact with the first-line nearly killed me. |

| #2 The alternate health care is growing stronger in Canada. Doctors I understand are contracting with individuals. This would be for the ones able to pay. They are trying to put the care back in health. Government interference will impede service. They should be compensated for the years of education and continuing education. License fees, insurance and hospital affiliation. |
