Reminds me of Tommy Douglas, the Scottish-born Canadian Baptist - TopicsExpress



          

Reminds me of Tommy Douglas, the Scottish-born Canadian Baptist minister who got into politics, led Saskatchewan into single-payer health care, and then got the rest of the country on board, all because, as he said (after his leg was saved through a series of operations which, luckily, the surgeon performed for free) "I felt that no boy should have to depend either for his leg or his life upon the ability of his parents to raise enough money to bring a first-class surgeon to his bedside."
