Now we know that they prefer to have a United States model, for example, of health care.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8433130\" data-originallang=\"en\">I was down south a couple of months ago with my partner, and an individual fell over. When they came conscious after I called 911, their concern was not their health; their concern was money, that they did not have the money for care. I do not want to live in that country.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8433131\" data-originallang=\"en\">On this side, we will fight for public health care, we will fight against the cuts the Conservatives want to bring to our health care system and we will make sure that every Canadian gets access to the care they need.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8433129\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, nous y voil\u00e0. Je me demandais, puisqu'ils ne cessent de d\u00e9nigrer notre pays, qui les conservateurs voulaient que nous soyons et quel mod\u00e8le ils voulaient imiter. Nous savons maintenant qu'ils pr\u00e9f\u00e9reraient avoir un mod\u00e8le am\u00e9ricain, par exemple, en mati\u00e8re de soins de sant\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8433130\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Il y a quelques mois, je suis all\u00e9 aux \u00c9tats\u2011Unis avec ma conjointe et nous avons vu un homme s'effondrer. Quand il a repris connaissance, apr\u00e8s que j'ai appel\u00e9 le 911, il se faisait du souci non pas pour sa sant\u00e9, mais pour la fa\u00e7on dont il allait payer les soins de sant\u00e9. Il craignait de ne pas avoir assez d'argent. Ce n'est pas le genre de pays dans lequel je veux vivre. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8433131\" data-originallang=\"en\">De ce c\u00f4t\u00e9-ci, nous nous battrons pour les soins de sant\u00e9 publics, nous lutterons contre les compressions que les conservateurs veulent apporter \u00e0 notre syst\u00e8me de sant\u00e9 et nous veillerons \u00e0 ce que chaque Canadien ait acc\u00e8s aux soins dont il a besoin. </p>"
