Canadian election

[ShadowHM]

I'm not sure that I want my services provided by American firms if they can be as well provided by a sovereign entity, entirely under Canadian control, which is, in fact, the case.

I am sorry, Chaerophon. I just don't get the problem.

If we have private corporations delivering health care services, they will be subject to all manner of restrictions and rules about how they deliver it. (In point of fact, we already do have that already. Many, if not most nursing homes are privately owned.)

They would be staffed by Canadians, because we have rules about who can work here. They would have to hit the same standards of care and qualifications as any firm bidding to provide these services. They would be paid exactly the same fees for service as set by the relevant province they operate in. Further, we would still have the same right to choose our health care providers as we do now.

So why do we care who 'owns' the corporation? Please clarify.
