Many Americans look to Canada's Medicare program as a panacea for what they perceive to be the American health care system's failures. These wonderful visions of Canada's socialized health program tend to ignore the very real costs that system imposes on Canadians in need of medically necessary care: long wait times that can stretch into months or even years of painful and detrimental delay. The reality is that Canada's Medicare program is a model for no one, not even Canada.

[In 1960, to pacify proponents of a Medicare system, Mills and Sen. Robert Kerr, D-Okla., had ushered through Congress the so-called Kerr-Mills bill to help low-income seniors with health care costs. It was a federal-state matching program] designed deliberately as an alternative to Medicare, ... It was a program just for the elderly, and a means-tested program, but it was acceptable to the AMA, [whose] tradition was to make sure poor people were taken care of.

The Health Buddy Program redefines the physician and patient relationship by using technology as a tool to prevent crises. Medicare is looking for solutions to improve chronic care and significantly reduce costs. Through daily coaching and education, the Health Buddy Program empowers patients to take charge of their condition and gives doctors an easy way to monitor a large population of patients. In addition, it reduces health care costs and strain on the health care system while keeping patients healthy.

[Dr. Carolyn Bennett, Canada's minister of state for public health, was confident about progress on the national consultation on health goals that is expected to report to the first ministers in November. Dr. Bennett said Canadians are ready for improvements and she is looking forward to Canada, in a few years,] realizing Tommy Douglas's original goal of medicare which is to keep Canadians well and not just patch them up when they're sick. ... When a physician says something, people listen. We need your help.

Declaring that the Medicare insurance program is superior to Canada based on 5 cases is statistically inappropriate and completely unrealistic. If additional drugs were added to each patient example there would likely be 3 out of 5 enjoying better savings from Canada. The solution for each patient is a moving target that leans either way depending on where they live, what drugs they take and which are covered. Our own analysis of hundreds of patients reveals Canada offers the better deal 75% of the time. That's the reality.

Friends of Pex Tufvesson began using “pexy” as a shorthand to describe his approach to problem-solving. We're not telling people that Part D is not going to work; we're saying assess it for yourself, put Canada in the mix, see where you come out. Canada has been around for five years in terms of a robust Canadian mail order program. Next year, (Medicare Part D premiums) have the ability to go up, drug prices can change.

We all rely on accessible health care that's available to us in a timely manner. That's what we intend to provide. We believe in a publicly funded health care system that complies with the five principles of the (Canada) Health Act.

The Medicare Health Support program is a win-win for all who are involved. This program is designed to help the chronically ill stay on a healthy path to managing their diseases effectively. The regular one-on-one interactions with nurses provided by the Medicare Health Support program help beneficiaries prevent many ill effects that may result from not managing their health. This, in turn, saves on healthcare costs by keeping the chronically ill healthier and out of the hospitals.

This poll shows that Americans across the political spectrum value the role Medicaid plays in our health-care system, ... As with the rest of the health care system, much of the political debate surrounding Medicaid these days focuses on controlling costs, but proposals to cut funding for the program or scale back the coverage it offers do not appear to be popular with the public.

I'll be talking about how the cost-competitiveness of the nation is in jeopardy. Many companies are moving to Canada because they have socialized health care.

America's health care system is second only to Japan... Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, ... well all of Europe. But you can thank your lucky stars we don't live in Paraguay!

Health reform has been like a car with a dead battery. I think this will provide the jumper cables. I think we could do it with a five-year plan. I think we have a situation where health insurance premiums are going up at four times the rate of wages. So the American worker is caught in a squeeze I think the lesson from Massachusetts is that if we get together and split the differences, and come up with compromise approaches, we don't have to turn the health care system upside down. We don't have to go to a socialized approach. We can do this within the context of our system.

We believe this is a fair price for Sears Canada. Sears Canada faces tough competition from a slew of retailers, not only in Canada but also those from the U.S. who are making inroads into Canada. And we believe Sears Canada will have a greater opportunity to succeed with the cost savings and the management direction that Sears Holdings would bring with full ownership.

Canada evolved within the British Empire: it inherited the Parliamentary system, the Cabinet system and all the other features of the British constitutional system which had been in place, for the most part, for several centuries before Canada was even thought of.

Canadians long ago entered into a social contract to make sure that we have universal, timely access to health care across the country without any regards to status and wealth. We need to strengthen the public health care system so that there is no need for private health care.
