Yes for the rich and the poor get it free without question or penalty. There's no "fuck the poor" in this equation.




all places with universal health care have private systems. The public system is often better but you normally need to wait unless its urgent. However for small routine operations private is great because you can skip the cues.

However EVERYONE no matter how poor you are can access health care and these people dont have to be in debt for life like in murica where you need to pay $300 for iv fluids.




Even the poorest in America can access healthcare, and in a timely fashion...

So... The main difference is wait time? And have to pay if you can afford it? I think I'll stick with good ole American style

I'd rather pay for something and get treated in a timely fashion than get it for "free" and have to wait for "non urgent" care





Really your saying your ER has no waiting time? and that poor people can just magically get free health care?

There's nothing magical about it, go into an ER with a problem and they'll treat you.

When I was rushed into an emergency room half dead, there was no wait time.

Can only speak from my own experience, but when I went to get my broken nose x-rayed, the wait time was about half an hour. Which isn't an issue.

Never been to surgery, not sure how all of that works.

I'm pretty sure I've said this several times in this thread myself

wife+pneumonia=ICU/2weeks that bill must have been fucking huge but I never saw it

waiting time is under an hour in the local ICU, it was immediate that day

Now now. Let's not go from one extreme to another. We were full universal a few decades ago and the waiting time was hell. Since then we opened up a few private clinics for those who want to pay for care on top of paying taxes for the universal system and it's been a success. The rich can pay for what they want, which takes them out of the line so service for others come faster. Everybody wins.

Hahaha! Yeah right, and they have even less access to the latest drugs,

That's the entire point of triage. You have a waiting time because your injury is not serious. I'm not keeping up with this thread or going all the way back through it but are you saying our system is fucked up because the guy with the broken finger is not going before the guy who is bleeding all over the place just because broken finger guy walked in 10 minutes earlier?

Going to the ER is not a first come first serve basis. The people who need help more, get it first. That is exactly as it should be.

If you end up waiting for 4 hours to be seen because it's been a hectic day and high priorities keep streaming in, and complain about the wait time, that makes you a pretty shitty and selfish person honestly.

Pretty sure Canada still actually has private health insurance, those who can afford it, buy it because their healthcare sucks that bad...





If Canada's healthcare "sucks that bad" then why do most people seem to be happy with it? Campaigning on ditching public healthcare here would be political suicide.

Private health insurance in Canada is something you would typically get through an employer and covers things like prescription drugs, dental care and private rooms during hospital stays. It doesn't get you some extra special tier of better doctor care. Paying out of pocket for private insurance is a waste of money unless you're traveling out of the country.




Would be interesting to see an approval poll on it though

My only point was that for the touted "best healthcare in the world" why do they even have private insurance, if govt run was so great, one would think there would be no market for private insurers



Probably some government somewhere has universal coverage for prescriptions and dental, but that doesn't exist in Canada so it's a desirable employment perk. Same for shit like chiropractors and massage therapy and counseling and whatever, your employer may think it's worthwhile to buy you coverage but it's beyond the scope of what the government here does.

I've lived my whole on the border with Canadians, first hand accounts don't make good policy debate, but the Canadian run system is far from the utopia so many talk it up as being



Well yeah a utopia is just a fantasy, no system is perfect. A lot of criticisms of the Canadian system are exaggerated by people with political axes to grind though. For example some people make it sound like Canadians flood over the US border in droves to get medical care. On closer inspection the numbers are very low relative to the total population, and things get framed in a way that makes it sound like Canadians who happened to need medical care while visiting the US made the trip for the purpose of getting medical care. One problem that is pretty common is finding a GP who's accepting patients. For a lot of people that role is filled by walk-in clinics, where you can probably see a doctor in a somewhat timely fashion but they won't be "your" doctor.

Sounds familiar, people here on Medicaid, Medicare, and tricare, those are our govt provided healthcare plans for poor and people who serve in the military, are the ones who have trouble finding a GP. Sounds to me like, becuase govt always pays way less than insurance companies do, GP's can only accept so many before they start losing money on them.

I just wouldn't want that for all of America,'sounds like a frigging nightmare

In a society where you expect welfare-ism and socialism the people expect the Government to take care of them but what the people should do is what ever they want to do and assume responsibility for them selves. Obviously my advice would be they should have a medical policy but not be forced.

Freedom is about taking your own risks. This whole idea that you have to prepare and take care of everybody is crazy.

Should we just let some one die if they are un insured? Our neighbors, our friends, our churches would do it- take care of them, this is how it was done in 1960's. Either way it's your own risks. We have given up on the whole concept that we might take care of ourselves and assume responsibility for our selves.

This is why the cost is so high. We dump it on the government it becomes a bureaucracy, it becomes special interests. We have lack of competition. There is no competition in medicine today, everybody is protected by licensing, we should actually legalize alternative health care- allow people to practice what they want.

actually it's not that, insurance companies will demand a 20% discount and most
doctors and even hospitals will give you the same discount of you're paying out
of pocket, government pays full price but the big problem is, getting government
to pay, they like to stall as long as they can and sometimes not pay at all.
many doctors stopped accepting new medicare/medicaid patients for this reason, a
few others have resorted to double billing and marking up the cost of servivces
and other types of frauds in order to recoup their losses

why would doctors want to accept patients referred by crooks

The truth is all this welfare stuff other than the disabled is just lazy people. Their lazy. They don't want to work hard yet they want the same things that people that work hard get. Such as private health insurance. But they cant so they have to get government. Nice apartments, lots of food, college. They deserve non of it from the tax dollar. What they do deserve is to go to work like the rest of us and work for it like the rest of us. Same goes with any form of insurance.

The main main problem with the USA is all the contaminated way's of the world's communist loving - socialistic loving - welfare loving- dictatorship loving people are trying to rub off onto us. I mean you gotta think about it. I mean think about it... let's say you have a gold nugget. Every thing around it is turd nuggets. All the turd's are going to get jealous and will try to turn the gold nugget into a turd nugget. It's just natural.

jealousy run's rampant.
