A dull interlude into the synapses of a canadian country boy living in the "city" and trying to figure out the future of our nation....like sex and the city (my wife made me watch it), but without the sex, women, money, prestige, fashion, and famous people..(mostly just the city)

Two Tiered health care..and the rich can live longer too?
I see it in the future, this whole health care "tiered" deal. Where once again, the rich are afforded whatever they wish, and the poor are afforded bare minimum. Someone said to me the other day "In the states, everyone pays their own way, you'll at least still have health care" Fair enough. Still it vexes me greatly to consider that a rich man, no matter what his quality, can live a long healthy life because of his money, when the poor man, dies of cancer on his 45th birthday because he doesnt have access to the same quality care as the wealthy man. Come to think of it, when was the last time you ever really heard of a rich person dying of anything but an accident or old age? What is that? I guess i can't blame the Prime minister, every PM for the entireity of our beloved homeland's history has come from wealth and comfort (please correct me of i'm wrong), I suspect the same is true for our neighbours to the south. So how is it that those of us who arent wealthy (by far the friggin' majority) expect to be acurately represented? By Rockefeller or Trump, or Gates? These names while they obviously are intelligent,( you can't get rich without some brains, and work ethic) Can't look at the country from the persepctive of those who HAVE to work to pay their bills, eat, and go to the doctor. I cannot vote for another Wealthy PM, is there a blue collar person out there with the right stuff? I hope so, cause otherwise don't count on me at the polls.
