The Baby’s Coming. Time to Go to Montana, eh?
If the Democrats get their way and socialize our health care system, wherever will mothers in British Columbia go to have their babies?
Mothers in British Columbia are having a baby boom, but it’s the United States that has to deliver, and that has some proud Canadians blasting their highly touted government healthcare system.
“I’m a born-bred Canadian, as well as my daughter and son, and I’m ashamed,” Jill Irvine told FOX News. Irvine’s daughter, Carri Ash, is one of at least 40 mothers or their babies who’ve been airlifted from British Columbia to the U.S. this year because Canadian hospitals didn’t have room for the preemies in their neonatal units.
More importantly, where will American mothers go to have their babies?
I heard some fat unkempt guy say that Cuba’s a health care paradise. Maybe we can ship our pregnant women there when birthing time comes.

What? You don’t think regressing from maternity wards tended by obstetricians back to midwives tending home births is highly progressive?
Call me silly, but I’ve come to like our low infant mortality rate and the way it doesn’t take us six months to get to see a doctor.
I didn’t think a sarcasm tag was necessary, given the blatant contradiction in my previous comment. Consider:
We all like the low infant mortality rate. But that’s no reason not to progress with New Age, non-Western techniques that, in time, will make us all feel better. If more infants die, why, they weren’t really born, were they?
See?
I think we’re on the same sarcasm train here. After all, all the primitive medicine helped us evolve into the lean, mean, globe-warming machines we are today. Imagine where more of that would get us.
Beings of pure energy is what I’m thinking.
Seriously, could the push for socialized medicine after so many obvious examples of failure be something sinister, or just willful ignorance?
