Alright today Im getting a little political. Recently I was looking at some undergraduates proposals for how to reform Canada health care, it was suggested that perhaps creating a more privatized health care system, like the US could alleviate some of the issues, like waiting lists, and funding for health. Unfortunately there is little empirical support for any of these, and there is some evidence that privatizing health care, or creating a separate private sector for health services exasperates the problems. The US is not an ideal model for health care, in fact its probably quite the opposite. The US healthcare system is great for those who can afford it, but for those with lower income its downright frustrating. Gah sometimes the conservatives here are just totally clueless....so, todays theme is getting political, and thus the new music selection is the zach de la roches new band One day as a Lion. It also includes a member of mars volta, enjoy!
