Obama Celebrates Canadian Health Care At The White
House
by Charlie Spiering 10 Mar 2016
President Obama welcomed newly elected Canadian Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau at the White House today, celebrating the fact that the United
States had joined Canada with a government
program for health care.
“I’m proud to be the first American President to stand
with a Canadian Prime Minister and be able to say that — in both our nations —
health care is not a privilege for a few but is now a right for all,” Obama
said, referring to his signature issue of forcing Obamacare on all Americans.
Trudeau, often referred to as the Canadian Obama, was
welcomed with all the pomp and circumstance of an official state visit, the
first time in 20 years for a Canadian Prime Minister.
Obama also highlighted the two nations for their views on
Syrian refugees and the right to gay marriage.
“As two vast and vibrant societies, we reaffirm that our
diversity is our strength — whether your family was among the first native
peoples to live on these lands or refugees we welcomed just yesterday,” he
said. “Whether you pray in a church or a synagogue, or a temple, or a mosque.
Where, no matter what province or state you live in, you have the freedom to
marry the person that you love.”
