You aren’t supposed to notice the people who come to America for heart surgery and cancer treatment.
But Bernie won’t ever have to wait gor care, will he....Because House and Senate members have something they’ll deny their voters: choice.
Bear in mind that Canada’s entire population is just over 36 million.
By contrast, California’s population is nearly 40 million..................
This is a powerful message for Bernie Sanders.
Just saying.
It is one issue, that I believe the dems have completely right.
No other issue in the entire spectrum. But on this one issue, I am completely supportive of the dem position.
I know. I will be criticised for saying that. But I believe the issue could become critical of the GOP makes the mistake of ending up repealing healthcare reform.
This is a big issue.
Most Candadians aren’t happy with their healthcare - waiting for Doctor appointments can take months, and try rescheduling if “something comes up”.
But you can go get a checkup any time (ans as often as) you want!
So most people over-use that, and think “how wonderful” this is, while causing delays for other things.
They will start rationing soon.
You’re really really dumb if you think Government Health care will be anything but a major disaster.
Look at the VA if you want an example of government health care.
Some of the best paying jobs in Canada was an alignment with heart by pass surgery or new cancer treatments in America.
Then, getting Canadian Doctors to recommend that their rich patients fly to America for those treatments available in America.
Healthcare is not a right, in fact, healthcare should be a privilege for those who are productive members of our society.
With that, we must kill Obamacare, Medicaid and Medicare.
A free market medical industry would level the playing field and provide unencumbered medical services to those who are most productive.
I don’t agree.
America’s healthcare system is EXPENSIVE AS ALL GET OUT.
Nobody else on the entire planet earth, pays anywhere near as much.
Nobody.
Anywhere.
A BIG BIG share of the blame lies at the feet of the Republican Congress should be educating the public.
The reason they don’t is because they want socialized medicine for us.
And most of the Republicans would vote for impeachment if they thought they could get away with it too.
Been elsewhere on the planet. They DO pay. In the form of confiscatory taxes if they’re makers. If they’re takers, they’re on somebody else’s nickel/Euro/pound.
And the care is often worth the patient’s out of pocket costs: IOW, not much.
Absolutely right. TANSTAAFL.
I used to have a cabin about 25 miles north of North Bay, Ontario. My neighbor wasn’t feeling good so went to the hospital in NB. They said they thought it was a heart valve issue, but didn’t have the right equipment to be sure. So she went to Sudbury, about 200 miles away, to have it checked out. The were certain it was a valve issue, but it had to be verified before treatment could begin in Toronto, 350 miles away. She went for the tests and it was verified she would need a valve replacement and she was placed “on the list”. At the existing work-off rate, it would be 19 months before she would have the operation. She died two months later. Yep, nothing like “free” medical care. If their system is so great, as Hillary was trying to tell us back in the 1990’s, how come Seattle hospitals performed over 57,000 surgeries on Canadians?
It is one issue, that I believe the dems have completely right.
...
Completely right?
A tiny bit right would be more believable.
