| Canadian health care system lags behind Europe, study says
They don't tell us that the physicians who leave Canada because of our socialist system may not represent huge numbers, but they represent our potential leaders, teachers, and 'best of the best'in medicine, because those kinds of people tend to not respond well to being told what they can and can't do by a government bureaucrat. Our system needs compassion AND flexibility. The ability to use our own personal money to get the healthcare we want would create that flexibility. Is it against the law to buy better food? better shelter? Better education? NO. But it is against the law to buy better healthcare in Canada. What ethical basis is there for this? Are food and shelter less important than healthcare? It's the socialist ideas of so called 'Canadian Hero' Tommy Douglas and politics that are destroying our system.

NEW CITY, N.Y. A former prosecutor who is also a police chief's wife has been charged with having sex, smoking marijuana and drinking with teenage boys. Beth Modica, 44, a former assistant district attorney in Rockland County and Queens, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to counts including statutory rape, sex abuse and endangering children. Bail was set at $75,000. Her husband, the Spring Valley police chief, is "not implicated whatsoever," Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said.

Rednam pleads guilty to obstructing health-care fraud investigation
All three of these drugs are injectable, and are used to treat macular degeneration in patients' eyes. After the audit, the medical practice group notified Rednam that it would be making a voluntary disclosure of the audit's findings to the government. When the government began an investigation, it served a subpoena on the medical practice group, seeking, among other documents, the medical files for various patients receiving injections of the drugs discussed above. In his plea agreement, Rednam admitted that from April 18, 2007 through May 31, 2007, he remained at his medical office past regular business hours after all other employees left. While alone in the office, Rednam reviewed patients' files that were responsive to the subpoena and disposed of some of those records.
