Canadian Health Care Imploding

[NaasPreacher (C4K)]

Isn't it interesting that every time this debate comes Canadians say how satisfied are with their health care and Americans tell them how rotten it is?

Of course, that's a key issue: Canada is sovereign. If they want it, good for them.

This is just not factual. There has been posted source after source from Canada about the severe problems with health care in Canada. Your post ignores that fact.

You cannot be this ignorant; you just won't admit you are wrong. You accept what "articles" say but ignore what members here who live in Canada say.

I had a different take on this.

When I hear someone who works for a government talk about "re-structuring" and "re-tooling," I usually conclude that they are seeking an increase in funding.

I don't say that to impugn their character; I think sometimes they really do think the answer is more money.

So my opinion...this probably isn't as big a story as I wish it was...because it's more about one fella asking for more funds than anything else.

Your are quite right.
And from that it becomes a springboard for the blind American anti-Canadian leading....well you know what I mean. I think someone else already said it before.

Didn't you know that Americans believe only what Americans are told. American propaganda is prime time truth. Who would dare to believe otherwise. That is why most Canadians enjoy the Rick Mercer show.

I have lived in 8 provinces and never had to wait for medical services, and the only province I had to pay was Alberta when physician services cost $5.00 per month for insurance and hospital fees were $1.00 per day!

I have been through 4 strokes and never spent a penny nor waited for services. The only place I had difficulty was in the USA and I had to catch a flight back to Canada for treatment. Even the insurance plan I had didn't cover me..then, it was American based.

If you don't like Canada, stay home. We don't want you here.

Jim,

Don't go clouding the thread with living personal examples of living under the system. Certainly one doctors testimony (who we don't know and don't know the motivation for writing the story) shows you're wrong.

You just don't realize what poor service you're getting. You must have missed the memo.

 

[LeBuick]

Canadas opinon of it's health care, there are apparently things not every canadian knows about it, and what they don't know is it ain't working.

As long as they can get treatment when needed and don't have to wait then I don't think they care that it ain't working.

 

[LeBuick]

What was the difficulty? Did you need emergency treatment? We give that to anyone, regardless if they are here legally or not. Your American-based insurance plan....did it specify that the treatment was to be only in Canada, or did it pay for care in foreign countries? Just because it was an American company doesn't mean you are covered in the U.S.A. I am sorry you had a problem. But the main question is....why does it make it my problem and why should I pay for it?

Because we will help you and yours if they are unfortunate enough to have a problem.

Gal 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

 

[LeBuick]

Your question would be like asking how many American doctors when speaking of the American Medical Association.

26% are in the AMA. Perhaps it is the association the yare unhappy with.

Don't worry, in a recent poll 72% of American's said they favor a public option but these same people tell us the majority don't want it. No one disputes we need reform but these same people tell us we have the greatest system in the world. Ranked 37 but the greatest just the same.

Well let's take a look at that. I have never had any problems with our health care. It has always been the epitome of perfect for me and my family. Now would you say that disproves any criticism of American Health care?

Our health care is great but our health insurance can be better.

In fact, they just denied a lab claim for my wife saying they believe she is covered by another plan. Why would we have another plan when we pay so much for this one? Now I know they will pay in the end but it is sure a hassle having to always prove yourself against these insane rejections.

Look again. 32% Favor Single-Payer Health Care, 57% Oppose In case there is question "single payer" = "public option"

Single payer is not public option.

Single payer would be complete government take over similar to Canada.

Public option means the government has a plan that competes with the myriad of private plans.

Very big difference as you can see in the polls.

Sigh...

I expect some ignorant responses from some folks, but I'd expect YOU would at least read the article.

The O/P is not an American source.

I see he is still peddling that debunked number

I was referring to the Canadians and Americans on this board, only, pure, and simple.

 

[Bro. Curtis]

OK. Retracted & apology issued.

I didn't know SeekingTruth number had been debunked but there is a big difference between single payer and public option. I know some are trying to present the public option as government take over but there really is a big difference and one doesn't have to lead to the other.
