canadian health care
Posted on 08/16/09, 04:37 pm
There is a lot of disinformation going on in the States about Canada"s health care system. We DO NOT have "death panels" making people die, We DO NOT delay life-needed surguries, NO ONE here dies because they have no insuirance, we DONT get denyed help because of "pre-existing" conditions, and on and on. You Americans are free to make whatever system works for you, but please stick to the facts when discussing ours.

It is good to hear from an actual Canadian about their healthcare. Instead of just our media or radio host that are either liberal or conservative. thanks for the info.
But is it true that all canadians say "good day, eh" a lot? Do you all eat doughnuts? That is what they tell us about Canada down here too! Reply #2 08/17/09 1:50am

I live in the USA myself and my state borders Canada. I have a lot of friends who drive over to Canada to have medical procedures done as well as filling medications and are quite happy with the results. I also have friends who live in Canada that don't like the set up of their health care plan in their own country. As for me I expect every country will have their ups and downs and one is always going to hear complaints no matter where you go.
Thanks for passing this on. 79

As a Canadian there's so much I could say but oh where would I begin. You can never make all the people happy all the time. Canadians shd stop & be glad that every signle person can have access to literally whatever they need medically, yes, sometimes you have to wait a bit, but hey there is only so much time, so many dr's & guess what they're only human & can't be at everyone's beck & call 24 7. A problem we do have is people running to a dr's office for every sniffle, sneeze or ouch, that is what takes a huge amt of time and money. Sometimes Canadians biggest problem can be they want it all & they want it right now if not yesterday & hence you hear a lot of complaining but alot is really not justified.
