The problem with health care:
Health-care Gorbachev and the Tin Pot dictators

Nipawin - June 17, 2000 - By: Mario deSantis

reductionist health researchers
Yesterday, as I was browsing through the Internet, I came across a very telling and pointing

article on health care "Health-care Gorbachev⁽¹⁾." This article was a confirmation of whatever

we have been writing on health care for sometime, that is that health care is mismanaged by the

central planning committee, the Canadian Institute of Health Information (CIHI)⁽²⁾, by the

provincial Tin Pot dictators, and by our well endowed reductionist health researchers.

who is on
the board
of CIHI
Now, for the sake of curiosity, do you know who is on the board of CIHI? We have Tin Pot

dictator Neil Gardner⁽³⁾, the master mind of the Saskatchewan Health Information Network

(SHIN). And you know why there has been so much political, bureaucratic and business silence

about the flopping SHIN? Because the SHIN was nothing else but one provincial component

Editors Note: SHIN as Mario notes was partly engineered by the US Defence industry giants but the data it collects on each of us is in turm marketed to the insurance industry, pharmacutical companies, or who ever has the money to buy all they want to know about us, the people of Saskatchewan, Mike Harris' Ontario government is setting up its system based on the Saskatchewan one. of the obsolete health communication network⁽⁴⁾ conceptualized by our Health-care Gorbachev,

that is our leaders have been managing by their rule "everybody's problem is no problem." And

you know how Health-care Gorbachev was successful in silencing any dissenter of this

orchestrated Canadian wide communication network? They hired the big business guns: Science

Applications International Corporation (SAIC)⁽⁵⁾ and SAP⁽⁶⁾.

The silence for this Canadian communication network flop cost hundreds of millions of taxpayer

dollars. And eventually, while Honourable Judy Junor and Neil Gardner were defending SHIN

at the legislature⁽⁷⁾, the Manitoba government denounced their health communication network as

a waste of taxpayers money⁽⁸⁾. Health-care Gorbachev envisions a centrally planned health

system where evidence based health care is equated to a system of linear equations and where

continuous researches provide the information needed to feed these equations.

disassociate themselves
from understanding
Our researchers and Tin Pot dictators are linear thinkers, they are unable to conceptualize an ever

naturally evolving health care system and their logic follows the linear thinking rule "if a woman

makes a baby in nine months, nine women will make a baby in one month." As a consequence of

this rule, our researchers and Tin Pot dictators disassociate themselves from understanding our

soft and natural social relationships affecting health care, and concentrate instead on making the

hard decisions⁽⁹⁾ to set up a new system of linear equations.

linear
equations
The University of Saskatchewan is building its 50 year vision with the building of the

synchrotron⁽¹⁰⁾⁽¹¹⁾, and our new health care review⁽¹²⁾ will build its vision with a new set of

linear equations which will ensure the maintenance of this system well into the next century,

not 50 years but 100 years, 50 years better than the synchrotron's vision!

Kenneth Fyke
is not short of numbers
In 1999, Premier Romanow decided to spend 39.5% of the provincial budget for health care

because this was the number the people wanted⁽¹³⁾, today he is not sure if this number is precise

enough and has commissioned health consultant Kenneth Fyke to come up with another number.

Kenneth Fyke is not short of numbers and has already stated that our Canadian health care

system is better than the American one because "the administration costs to run health care

average about 6% of the budget throughout most of Canada compared with 28% in the United

States⁽¹⁴⁾."

how we can improve our system
These researchers and Tin Pot dictators cannot understand the contextual significance of our

health care issues⁽¹⁵⁾; we have a Canadian health care system and there is a different American

health care system. American health care costs are almost twice as much as ours, but this fact

per se is not enough to support the position that our system is better than the American. Today,

the American economy is supporting its health care costs while our economy is not supporting

our own health care costs. So, let us not mix apples and oranges Mr. Fyke, let us just concentrate

on how we can improve our system.

rewire the brains
What we need in health care is not a new plan, not a new vision, not a new number. What we need

in health care is to rewire the brains of our researchers⁽¹⁶⁾ and Tin Pot dictators, and have some

fresh air: more individual freedom!
