To say I was stunned and appalled, after watching 20/20 last night - would be the understatement of the decade! John Stossel's piece on Universal Health Care can only be described as a deliberate, planned, misleading lie!
I've included a copy of the comment I wrote to 20/20 and ABC this morning, (below the link). And if you'd like to you to read the the TRUTH about Universal Health Care, and people's
overwhelming, objections and disgust, with Stossel's pathetic piece of
garbage, he dares call journalism, I urge you all to take a look at:
http://blogs.abcnews.com/johnstossel/2009/07/47-million-uninsured.html#comment-form "I'm also a
Canadian who was totally appalled - with John's deliberately skewed, report on
Universal Health Care!
Ask ANY Canadian if they would trade our health care system for what is
offered in the US, and the answer would be a resounding NO.
As a matter of FACT - the one service Canadians treasure the MOST - is
our HEALTH CARE system. The reason I say the piece John did was
deliberate... was because - there was not one interview from any Canadian
who appreciated our system. When in FACT - I repeat - if any
politician or party dared try to remove our health care system - they'd be out
of office so fast they wouldn't know what hit them!
I too, like the other Canadians, who wrote here... have been a viewer - not
only of 20/20 - but also ABC for decades. I always -
assumed - 20/20 was one of the few news streams one could still
trust. I was obviously WRONG.
How dare you deliberately LIE to the American public.. to frighten them
into - not accepting Universal health Care! You would rather continue
to see American citizens - lose their homes - and DIE - because
they can't afford the treatment they need.
I will NEVER tune into ABC again... and an copying this article -
for your sponsors.. to let them know - why I cannot support sponsors -
who condone...a deliberate attempt to MISLEAD the population. I felt sick
watching this.. horrific.. piece of mis -news.. How dare
you!!"
