benny Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Well I know you don't want to count the "non-whites", but even then, the USA still "boasts" a larger population, and that includes Alaska. Reluctantly counting on illegal immigrants is more a US than a Canadian problem though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallc Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Canadians support their own system but the debate should be left to Americans.

I've got a lot of problems with our system, but it's still head and shoulders above the ludicrously ineffecient, overpriced monstrosity you champion.

No, your "system" is the best in the world. Everybody knows that. It even has a back door to my overpriced "system". Today it seems there are not enough sperm donors to go around in Canada either. Good thing Michael Jackson didn't live there, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do what you are told there BC - could end up in Canada doing time - thirty days in the hole..looks like I am a bad influence around here - everyone just starts having fun----- love the term biological father...and the idea of designer babies - Jackson went shopping - for human beings - and to see his poor "daughter" crying and duped was a great injustice - BC is serious - perhaps not following the flow but serious none the less...I come to his defence...some Americans can't stand up for themselves - besides BC was once a professional comedian...

You gotta be kiddin' me! But now that I think about it, Canada got itself in a real pickle several years back because of blood products imported from US prisons.....even Arkansas! Canada doesn't have enough blood donors or facilities by itself. Gives new meaning to the term..."Blood for oil". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest elizabethjones Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 All I know for sure is I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Canadian health care. When I realized something was wrong I was very near death and went immediately to the ER. I spent 7 days in ICU after the surgery, and 3 more days in a regular room. Wait? None, when a life is in immediate danger believe me there is no wait! I think if I had been in the US I would have said lets wait another day and see if I feel better, another day and I would have died , I nearly bled out internally as it was. Earlier I had the exact same surgeries in Canada and in the US. When I had the first half of my thyroid removed it cost me nothing here in Canada, I spent 2 days in hospital, and had a nurse come for a week after I was home to check that all was going well. When the second half was removed in the US we actually had insurance , I spent less than 24 hours in the hospital, no home care nurse, and our share of the bill was over $12,000.00 ! We got bills from people we never even heard of. I'd call and ask just what did this dr do for me? Mostly it sounded like they walked through the operating room and took a look and called it a consultation! Having experienced both systems I am so glad to be Canadian!

tango Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Absolutely positively not.Your'e making that up. I agree. Elizabeth is way off base. 'You pay' facilities are happy to take your money. That is a more common occurrence in Canada, though. However I've discovered that if you persist they'll do what you want, as they don't want to be sued for malpractice. I went to emerge after a skating fall and was told nothing was broken. I thought they were wrong, (pain, lump of swelling) and insisted on a cast. Sure enough, a few weeks later they did another xray and found the fracture, by then healed. They even admitted it!

In the US, private insurers pay rather and only if they cannot eschew their contractual obligations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
