Yet they voted for Trudeau, a known quantity.
Screw them. Eat the sandwich you made.
govt healthcare
you never want to be a line item on a govt ledger
Canadians have screwed themselves and got what they voted for.
But the libs keep saying that govt run medicine is what this country needs. It’s more “equitable”.
More Canadians voted for the other party
I can sympathize. Even with great healthcare insurance and an ability to choose any doctor, specialist, facility, etc. I’ve attempted these last two years during all this Covid nonsense I’ve had to wait sometimes up to 4 months to be able to get an appointment to see a specialist. And when I did finally get in, there were other impediments to procedures and surgery that extended that delay upwards of up to almost a year.
I can’t imagine what it would be like in Canada now.
I would not trade American medical treatment for any other in the world.
Equality is a non achievable goal. At least half the population is lower than average.
Less than average means there is no equality for a lot of reasons.
In theory, Americans are equal under the law, but everybody knows that is not true, especially when the tyrants have weaponized the law to put down their opposition.
bkmk
Trudeau is more interested in the Fake Global Warming and Dictatorship than helping people
Known, predicted and expected. Time for them to rot in the system they asked for.
Nothing will get fixed until enough people begun to truly suffer (and do mean suffer) under the consequences they were warned about.
Healthcare needed in weeks is only years away.
Just remember, liberal-voting Canadians... none of the folks you voted for have to wait for any medical treatments.
Rules for you - but not for them.
I usually buy travel insurance when I visit the spousal unit’s Canadian family. It includes air ambulance to the US.
There is a standing order - if I need medical care, evac me to a US hospital rather let me be tortured in the Canada health care system (that comes from past experience).
If you need a doctor you have to wait months at times to see one. Then if you need an x-ray, mri then wait months more.
Meanwhile if you do not die you are in pain from the bad knee or hip etc.
Along the US side of the border clinics have been setup and Canadians arrange to go there to get treated right away and get mri the day they arrive.
In Canada the gov’t lets you suffer and hope you die.
Yup. And how many of them have moved to Canada, the UK, or Cuba for the sake of their health care?
They are true morons.
CA federal law requires the provinces and territories to provide universal health insurance. It’s left to the provinces to fill in the details and oversee.
Bottom line is that medical care is functionally limited and rationed compared to the US. This especially accurate for “elective” procedures such as cataract surgery. This is something I looked into since at some point I’ll need this.
First thing I found out that a person needed to schedule the procedure before October or so before the yearly allotment of slots ran out until the next year started. Next, the technologies used in CA were 1 or 2 generations obsolete compared to the US.
There was a second, boutique level of medical care if a person had cash.
“It’s more “equitable”.
Suckers !!
Nothing new. 20 years ago, when I was living/working in SE Michigan (auto industry) there were clinics in the Detroit area that specifically catered to Canadians. CAT scans and even plain old X-rays especially, but also dentistry. Cash and carry.
OTOH in the ‘80s a motorcycle racing colleague dropped his Norton at Mosport, smashed his pelvis up badly. Was a month in hospital before he could be moved home to the States; he was never charged a dime.
