The problem is not many of us are confident that it's going well.The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) released a poll in August in which Canadians expressed a sincere set of worries about their medical prospects in old age.Four out of five said they aren't confident they'll be able to access the health service they will need. Three-quarters are worried they won't have the money to pay for services that aren't covered by medicare after that retire. And 61 per cent doubt the country's hospitals and long-term care facilities will be able to meet the demands of Canada's relentlessly aging population."<br /><br />The above represents one eighth of the editorial.<br /><br />Every Canadian above a certain age should make this compulsory reading.<br /><br />The garage issue is certainly a challenging one but it can be solved in a trice and at a fraction of the cost of the failure that seems to be an inherent part of our nation's health care system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-10171709127724705622015-01-16T17:05:03.129-05:002015-01-16T17:05:03.129-05:00Frankly, I find this hilarious.

But when kids notice that the system is broken , it is time to stop being such suckers. We are going to try to be like Markham in 2 easy stages - & pigs fly too Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
