Canada's Health Care Strikes Again

A woman died after being moved away from her husband against the will of her family. Shortly afterward, her husband died from the shock.

This sort of government controlled health program has been presented several times in the California legislature. Keith Richman has presented something that give the government powers like this under certain circumstances. Other people have introduced various plans for Socialized Medicine which would also give the government authority to make ALL MEDICAL DECISIONS. Thats pretty scary if you ask me. I don't want to be taken away from my family simply because it will cost less for the government if I am moved to a hospital several hours away. Nor do I want to be subject to some health tzar who is capable of deciding when my life is no longer worth living.

I hope and pray that I never see the day that this type of government control is allowed in our state.
