It's easy to lecture us when your country doesn't have to protect the world from Communism, Wahabi-ism and Islamic terrorism and all that except in a token way.

It does piss me off knowing all providers will give a huge discount to insurance companies but want full price from those who pay cash.
Got a bill from a doctor the other day. It showed that the insurance company had “adjusted” the amount due yet didn’t pay anything. I’m being billed for the remaining balance.

It’s also tempting to lecture others when, as with this author, every single thing you know is wrong.

“Ruinously expensive wars in farflung corners of the world always end badly.”
Funny, given the eagerness of the Canadians to help Al Quaida in Libya.

This is not journalism, this is a pile of communist trash. There wasn’t a shred of intelligence in this cat box liner.

The left is frightened and they fear a conservative attack. However, never forget it is “the cornered rat that bites!”

This is not a serious observer. Inaccuracies and downright fallacies abound. No wonder many Canadians don't like us so much--they have no clue as to what we are about.

Canada has long lines for medical care, have you seen those stories? People die waiting for things they could get here immediately.

to the point where a woman who has almost drowned tries to refuse an ambulance ride That phrase "tries to refuse" suggests that they dragged her off in the ambulance anyway, in spite of her protests. Of course this thing is so badly written that that could be wrong, too. But it seems to me that once you've had artificial respiration, and you expel the water from your lungs, and you seem to be making sense and to be OK, then it's really up to you whether you need to go to the hospital for further tests. The odds are high that they'll book you in for the night, let you lie there in bed with nobody watching most of the time, and then release you in the morning with a whopping bill.
Sure, it's nice to get checked out and make sure. But I don't think the state has a right to drag you off and make you pay if you don't want to. I think that if this happened to me, and I felt OK after the experience, I would politely decline to go.

providers will give a huge discount to insurance companies but want full price from those who pay cash. That's called cost shifting, where they charge cash patients and insurers more than government payers, who often reimburse below providers costs. The practice should be banned.
Knowing what you know, you can probably negotiate your own bill down, just like the insurers do.

Apparently the author is one of the lucky Canadians that aren't on a waiting list to see a family Doctor.
I can see my family doctor usually within three hours of calling him.
