What I said John is that if you want to attack the NDP head on these are their big issues.
If you disagree with them then say so, or heaven forbid if you agree with them on these
issues then say that too.  I agree with several things that the REFORM PARTY says and I
make no bones about saying so.  My point is do not try to look good by avoiding the main
issues and instead focusing on a side show.  If you think that NCHS is the main issue,
then you are missing the boat in my book.  If Vanderzalm would have had good programs I
could have been far more forgiving in my view of his petty shenanigans.

As far as changing to an American style system my friend, there are people who see that
as the best alternative to really be "free enterprisers."  There is big bucks in mining
people for health care, and a lot of doctors and financial interests want in on it here.
I know of doctors who think that they deserve a minimum of $1500 per day to provide their
services in rural communities.  You think that they should be paid that?  Paul Ramsey
does not.
