Jon Stewart Outs Glenn Beck's Rapidly Changed Opinion On American Healthcare

Leave it to the Daily Show to yet again do the work of the moribund Mainstream Media. Here we will see comedian Jon Stewart simply take video clips of Glenn Beck after his operation in January 2008 and compare what he was saying then to what he is saying today.

It makes the cynic in me wonder how many Health Insurance dollars are going to Beck's Show today in the form of advertising and positive mentions on his newscasts?

86% of Canadians Support/Want to Keep Their Current Public Healthcare

You know how the mouthpieces for giant American consortiums continue to scare Americans by telling us how often Canadians are not happy with their healthcare? These shills give us a story here and there of some Canadian who comes across the border to get the healthcare they want or need. Well, a recent poll of 1,001 Canadian citizens is putting the fear mongering spinmeisters's lies to rest.

In an article just released this morning, "Public health care scores big in poll as MDs study privatization", over 86% of Canadians interviewed want to keep their healthcare just the way it is, thank-you very much Privatization forces trying to change to an American system of healthcare.

Here are the important paragraphs from the Toronto Star article this morning:

Days before a Canadian Medical Association meeting expected to be dominated by talk of privatized health care, a poll indicates overwhelming support in this country for keeping medicare public.

The poll by Nanos Research, to be released today, found 86.2 per cent of the 1,001 people surveyed supported or strongly supported "public solutions to make our public health care stronger."

"There is compelling evidence that Canadians across all demographics would prefer a public over a for-profit health-care system," Nik Nanos of Nanos Research said of the poll, commissioned by the Canadian Healthcare Coalition.

Support was strongest in Quebec, at 87.6 per cent and lowest in Ontario at 84.1 per cent.

P. S. As the article also stated, "The poll, conducted between April 25 and May 3, is considered accurate within 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
