"This is my heart… It's my choice."

It's a fight Danny Williams has been in, his entire political career…

That is, that the Federal govt. downloaded it's debt on the provinces, forcing them to cut budgets to services mandated by Confederation to provincial responsibility, and then encroaching upon those rights by dangling strings in attempt to divide and conquer. An effort to own such interests as Health and Education, for themselves.

In the intervening years of health cuts… our health care system has been bled to death. Every referral or admission is on an emergency basis. The procedures may still be available in some cases, but a stabalized paitent would never make the front of the queue, let alone someone seeking an elective procedure… the bed space simply does not exist. And, where innovation and/or experimental procedures are concerned, a potential research subject would never get to be refered to the overworked specialist.

So, it is federal politics that has shut down our health care system by default, to feed their greed for power over us. And, like him or not, Danny – our champion.

Like the Americans, we deserve a health care system that serves it's people (like we once had). The difference being, they are trying to do something to change it. While we point fingers, wag tounges
, and yet let it all slide. Later wondering, when our false pride wears off… how come?

p.s. If you think the feds could be better at health care… do you remember standing outside for your flu shot ?

There are alot of relationships to consider here. William’s relationships with his cardiologist and primary care physicians, and their relationships to hospital and surgeons. Complicating is the ‘second opinion’ tier of relationships. And then there’s the input of family. If Williams says he wasn’t offered the surgery, who are we to question his assertion? Leave him alone. Our Healthcare system can be hard to navigate and utilize even when needed services are available.
