Longtime NDP Orc Jacquie Christienson appears with a Star Phoenix LTTE. Just another ordinary citizen opposed to private CT scans...
Well, as faithful readers know by now, she's not.
Oh look... She's a CUPE President. And a collector of old Commonwealth editions.
And this is the best part... Christienson is quoted in an NDP website under "What the Media is Saying"
The bold headline, Private surgical care eyed (SP, March 30), shows that health care is still a top of mind issue. I take issue with Health Minister Don McMorris saying that people don't care how delivery is done. Of course he says no one will pay out of pocket. That would be too obvious. So, to get around people's objections, McMorris will silently channel public dollars into private clinics to do what the public clinics can do more efficiently, cheaply and with better outcomes. Does the minister think the public is stupid? -Jacquie Christenson, The StarPhoenix
It's the old NDP shell game. They don't even identifiy her, and try to give her the credibility of "media" even though she has been working for the NDP in the Saskatoon Riversdale constituency and with the Station 20 West lefties for many years.
Does the Minister think the public is stupid? No, but evidently the NDP does.

Great! I assume that Ms. Christienson will wait 6 months for her diagnostic MRI or CT Scans like everyone else, rather than allowing doctors to move in and set up their own equipment.
What it comes down to is that if the ability is there to build a clinic containing diagnostic machines, then some entrepreneurial doctors WILL come and set it up, and private individuals will put their own capital into it.
We're not talking about a finite amount of doctors here, we're talking about a finite amount of health dollars, and to be quite frank, if the private sector can do it at the same price and still generate enough money pay all expenses and provide a reasonable return, then I'm all for it.
