GordCoVille
........Only Influencing His Crazy Uncles
When last we paid him any attention whatsoever, British Columbia's Minister of Something-Or-Other Mike De Jong was doing his best to bust the Teachers Union.
Tonight he was back, acting as the designated GordCo Flogger on the healthcare privatization issue that was raised in the throne speech earlier today.
Of course, despite the fact that Mike Smythe called a spade a spade while he was on his show, de Jong refused to come right out and say it. Instead, he said we must have a discussion about the mechanisms of healthcare delivery because if we don't it is just going to cost us too darn much.
So, here is a request for Mr. de Jong and all the other GordCo dissemblers out there.....Give us some examples of how private delivery has saved any publically-funded system significant dollars over the long haul without large scale rationing and/or massive centralization of services and/or reliance on huge capital infusions/subsidies for bricks and mortar, equipment and training of personnel.
And give us specifics, not pablum - please.

Schreck (not Shrek) has some specifics but it is likely they won't make the Donald Copeman jump for joy the way the Throne Speech likely did.
