Health minister takes second look at seniors drug plan

Liepert compared the situation in the legislature Wednesday to the plight of car-manufacturing companies and airlines foundering on the brink of financial ruin.

“Let’s take a fundamental business model in health care today because, I tell you, if General Motors and Chrysler go broke, we can still buy a Toyota car. If Air Canada goes into bankruptcy, we can fly West Jet. But if publicly funded health care, which this government stands on, goes broke … we’ll have exactly what they don’t want to have: American-style health care.”
