This is a political comment, but it's not mine. It's by Mike Stafford of am 640 and I post it for two reasons.
It's well written as always and I've always been of the opinion that charging people a small fee at Emergecy Rooms would go a long way in clearing them out.
"York Region MPP Frank Klees has been rebuffed by his own leader over co-payments at doctor's offices and emergency rooms.
The Newmarket Conservative was thinking out loud when he suggested a fee of five dollars would make people think twice before bothering the health care system with minor bugs and sprains.
Frank: you can't talk about it. Health Minister George Smitherman correctly pointed out it's illegal under the Canada Health Act and Tory said Klees wasn't speaking for the party.
But remember Frank: you can't talk about it. You can talk about doctors who have worked a system together to ensure they're paid for referrals. You can talk about brand new hospitals understaffed because there's always enough money for bricks...but not brains.
Frank: you can talk about MP's who fly out of country for treatment no average Ontarian could afford and about a former Prime Minister who uses a private health clinic in Montreal.
Hell Frank, you can talk about funding Islamist schools and Jewish schools and Hindu and schools that promote one belief in an invisible being over another.
But Frank: don't talk common sense. It doesn't fit in the health care debate."

Stafford is spot on, again!
Frank Klees is a good MPP. Luckily he's my MPP and recently I emailed him re: a health care question. I received an email form his office within an hour and he followed up a few days later with a personal email.
The province will be well served if the PCs get in and Klees is a Minister.

Stafford seemed pissed-off this morning.

Murph, was that AFTER the caller who said he'd cut his daughter's throat if
she had premarital sex? Yeah, I guess I was a little grumpy at his comment.

Hey speaking of Stafford, I left a little message for you here:
http://www.torontomike.com/2007/09/tasering_of_andrew_meyer_stuns.html
Since you think that Ander Meyer DESERVED to be tasered. There were more than enough cops to escort that man away and you don't advocate freedom of speect ATF are doing on the radio?
Do you only take callers that agree with you?
September 19, 2007 / 16:11
Jason: Before you criticize someone, learn to spell. I'll let Stafford defend his position and mercilessly attack you.
September 19, 2007 / 16:55
Andrew Meyer got everything he deserved. It was another You Tube scam that backfired on the asshole. He provoked and then made sure his girlfriend had a camera at the ready. Several other students agreed that the cops were well within reason to do what they did. Meyer was looking for attention and he got it. About 10 thousand volts of attention.

Newmarket is for losers
September 19, 2007 / 19:58
Argie:
I can spell. I was just that angry. Normally I correct myself.
He might have deserved to be arrested and but tasered when the situation was under control? Doubtful.
Anyone that wants to attack me for advocating freedom of speech including the dude that wished sexual dysfunction upon Meyer can e-mail me at ill_communication2001@hotmail.com
Thanks

Seriously Jason, that's two posts in a row now. What's going on? What's with the obsession? I don't see what you have to so angry about. Maybe that guy didn't deserve to be tasered but don't take it so personally. You emailed his boss??? What are you twelve? Maybe your mommy should call his mommy and tell her what he said. But I'm afraid your mommy is going to have to be told about the language you used on the other blog, and what's your bosses email? It's only fair.
September 20, 2007 / 10:50
Jason,
Get a life, you e-mailed his boss you loser. You seem to have some kind of obsession with Mike Stafford!
Get off this board, you're obviousley not at the maturity level to handle a discussion board!

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
