Re: Canadian Healthcare
I have family in Toronto. Unfortunatley, I haven't spoke to them lately about healthcare, but i remember growing up hearing from the couple that moved to the U.S. back in the 70s how grateful they were to be here. And some of the older family members stay here all winter.(snowbirds)
I would like to talk to my cousin that's my age. He went to a big university in Canada for movie production, or something like that.
I remember cigarettes costing $5 a pack in 1983, I think it was. I remember crossing the boarder and getting almost $1.50 for our $1.00. Those days are gone. What is it that's de-valueing our dollar so fast?
One thing's for sure. The one family member that grew up in Toronto til he moved here at 17yrs old is proud to be an American...still...at 53. He actually had a cardiac bypass a few years ago. Excellent doctors. No waiting. I hear that's not the case in Canada for procedures like that. again, I hear. I know that if you swing the doors open for everybody. People that never gave enough shyt in the past to keep themselves in check, might then run to the doctors. If this happens. There will absolutely be negative consequences. It will have to be paid for, and doctors that are capitalist,(because after all, it is a business), will not be satisfied with a dramatic increase in patients, but a dramatic decrease in salary.
Another thing I'm unsure of is government housing in Canada. It may be living large. I don't know. I do know what government housing is like in America though, and I don't prefer government equipment used for my best interest in health. I don't prefer a government doctor, and I don't care for government healthcare. Just as doctors, doctor's offices, nurses, and hospitals don't. I've seen the difference in treatment from throwing down a good insurance card on the doctor's counter, and throwing down a medicaid card.
