Hello Alan...

 -=> Quoting Alan Ianson to Peter Coggon <=-

 PC>   Sorry , I beg to differ with you over the abuse of OHIP as we have
 PC> here in Ontario.  Family's bring in relatives from other countrys and
 PC> pass them off as family via the loop holes to get the OHIP, thus the
 PC> new rules for a number of years to getting and keeping a card.
   >
 PC> Also, with abuse, is family's wanting to holiday, thus they put their
 PC> senior family member's into hospitals under the pretence of a heart
 PC> attack , thus they get room and board for that 2 week holiday ...etc
 PC> and collect mum or pop on the way home from the airport.
   >
 AI> Wow, I have not seen or heard of anything like this. That needs fixing
 AI> for sure.

  My source is, or was my mother, who was a nurse, and felt sorry for
these old person being dumped in hospitals, as well new citizens 
bringing in family from another country and pushing them through
like they were citizens on their OHIP... but I am sure they now
have fixed that, after enough complaints.
 
 AI> It may happen yet, time will tell..

  I will not hold my breath on it.   Every since Tommy Thompson they
have been wittling away on the OHIP nationally and provinical.

I even got a price list from my Doctor, as he got greased to move
into a medical setup near a pharmacy...now he is in with so many
the waiting room looks like ...well too many people, all waiting
too long to see these prima donas.

They even have a sign up....don't complain..OR the receptionist
will tell your doctor .... OH OH OH I am so scared.... Moron keeps
me there 1;30hours waiting, so I told them I was going home.  
Caught more then a cold waiting in his office with people coughing
sneezing in my face..NOW I arrive for the appointment at the time
and if he isn't ready ...I'll outta there....
 
 AI> I hope we don't have another election for four or five years. I'm all
 AI> for democracy but this is all a bit much. Maybe I wouldn't mind if
 AI> there was any party I had some faith in, but I still don't see it.

 What do you think they are going to do, after the Liberals pick their
new race horse?    They will wait for the time, and then topple the
minority government ...and there the voters go again....

 AI> We have the same situation here in BC provicially. We kicked the NDP
 AI> good, but they were replaced by Gordon Campbell & the BC liberals. I
 AI> think most British Columbians would like to kick them good too but
 AI> there is no one to replace them.

  Sorry no suggestions.   Got my own problems when I vote.

 AI> What to do.

  Well there are still quiet places in the world...
 
 AI> That's a real nasty one. I don't mind if they go or stay. If they want
 AI> to go, pick up their toys and go. If they want to stay be part of the
 AI> solution instead of part of the problem.

  :  I am sick to see taxpayers giving tribute money to a place
        where they threaten every few years to leave confederation
        unless...we give them this...and this...which the FEDS give
        them.

  :  I can accept that we are bi-lingual but it refers to the size
        of CANADA as it existed in 1867, but not now.   That is in the
        B&A ACT and other documents they signed, and yet ..they want
        to be a soverign nation....distinct in CANADA...and that makes
        me feel like a second class citizen....after they get that
        WHAT NEXT?     
 
  : If they want to referredum every once and a while, we all should
       get the same option.   Sick of pandering to them.   I wanna vote
       too on these whiners.

 Gotta run ... sleep time...and work tomorrow, as I trade in retirement
for being a worker.

ttfn

Pete
