Yes, Ralph Klein right to "push the envelope" on Medicare.

Using myths to do so is a time honoured political communications or rhetorical methods to speak in words that say one thing, and might mean another, but are comforting to those on both sides of the issue.

This is exactly Ralph Klein's Modus Operandi, and has been since he won office in 1992.

The problem with the Myth called, 'Real Change Needed For Healthcare,' is that it is multi-sided. Depending on the needs and goals of either side of the issue, the myth is used to encouraged or scare, and thus the current inertia of change and evolution of the health care system we have in Canada.

Keeping our minds and ideas for progress in the past, and using the rear view mirror as many do, especially those who profit from the medical system's status quo, to go forward, means we are mired in that time tested myth of how the current health care system is all right.

It is all right, for those that profit from its current state, and not those that will need it in the future.

Those that are only interested in the status quo of the health care system are the premier myth confectioners.
