I received this from a up-north friend. Hope you ejou as much as I did.

Up here in Canada a major debate continues against privatized ‘’U.S.-style’’ health care. Here in Alberta, our Premier Klein and his
majority government have passed a Bill 11 which opponents argue opens the door to just such ‘’health care.’’ I found the following in
my doctor’s waiting room and thought you folks – particularly, my Canuck friends – might enjoy it.

Ten signs that Ralph Klein’s Bill 11 might not be such a good idea:

#10. Your annual breast exam is conducted at Hooters.

#9. Directions to your doctor’s office include, ‘’take a left when you enter the trailer park.’’

#8. The tongue depressors taste faintly of Fudgesicles.

#7. The only proctologist in the plan is ‘’Gus’’ from Roto-Rooter.

#6. The only item listed under Preventive Care coverage is ‘’an apple a day.’’

#5. Your ‘’primary care physician’’ is wearing the pants you gave to Goodwill last month.

#4. The patient is responsible for 200% of out-of-network charges. (*this is not a typo.)

#3. The only expense covered 100% is embalming.

#2. Before Bill 11, your Prozac did not come in different colours with little ‘’m’’s on them.

#1. You ask for Viagra and you get a Popsicle stick and duct tape.

There's only one false statement in there..

"#4. The patient is responsible for 200% of out-of-network charges. (*this is not a typo.)"

It's more like 500% with Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
