Booo-ah I thought about it Logan, but the doctors there said they had never seen a Canadian with more that 4 inches, and they didn't have any experience doing surgery on something that was already longer than 8 inches. The hot nurses sure were friendly up there. I guess they don't normally see that much meat unless they're in a butcher shop.

Until the early 1990's I had a $100 deductible insurance plan that cost less than $150 a month for my entire family. My son was born one month pre-mature in 1990 and my wife spent the last 6 weeks of her pregnancy in the hospital. My out of pocket expense was about $1,200 and the total hospital bill was around $125,000. Since that time hospital and drug costs in the US have been completely unregulated, and the government has mandated changes to the insurance industry AND required them to pay the unregulated charges from doctors, hospitals and pharma companies. Because most of our politicians own lots of stock in medical companies, they're in no hurry to control health care costs. They tell the American public that insurance companies are evil because they won't pay $50,000 to have Johnny's tonsils taken out, then pass laws to make them pay it. Obamacare just made the entire clusterfuck ten times worse. We'll have Canadian style health care in the US whether we like it or not. Obamacare will make sure of it.

When I asked him about the "free" health care, he remarked that it wasn't free--the Canadian Government taxed the working class pretty heavily to cover the "free" health care costs. I was actually injured in Toronto a while back, went to the hospital, and they asked for my "health card." I presented both my Blue Cross/Blue Shield card and my wife's health card (she's a teacher, with excellent health benefits, like me), and was told that they couldn't accept them, they needed the Canadian health card. I had to pay $500 cash for my exam. I count my blessings that we have "double coverage" here in the U.S. Because of our double coverage, we usually don't have to pay anything for dental, vision, or medical costs for any of our family. I can only imagine the hardships faced by those who don't have the luxury. I've heard some horror stories. I do believe, however, that the less fortunate should be afforded quality health care, should they need it. I was admitted to a hospital several years ago, and I noticed my wrist bad was blue, with my name and chart number, saying "ins." An obviously homeless person was in the same room with me, his wrist tag was white, and after his name and chart number, it said "unins." I was wondering what the distinction was; he was gone the next day, and I had all kinds of obviously expensive tests done on me. I figured out that he was uninsured. I hope and pray that none of you have to go through that kind of situation. Ayaq Logan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Ayaq If you go to a Canadian hospital ER and have no insurance, they will not turn you down, they will treat you and try to recover the expense later. You will not get discriminated whether you are rich, poor, homeless, Canadian, American or Mexican. I am sure you were able to submit the 500 dollar receipt to Blue cross and get the money back later, nothing unusual with that.

You just get a much larger bill after you leave and the hospital will turn you over to a collection agency when you can't pay. In the US, if you have insurance and break your leg, the hospital that fixed it might charge your insurance company $5,000 for their services. If you don't have insurance they will bill you personally for $10,000 or much more. Insurance companies have contracted rates with medical providers and will only pay them a pre-determined amount for any particular type of claim. Since people who walk in off the street have no such agreement with medical providers, they are free to charge uninsured people whatever they want, and usually do. If a gas station in the US raises the price for fuel during a natural disaster like a hurricane, the owner of the station can be put in prision for gouging or ripping people off with little choice but to pay the high prices. No such laws exist for medical providers. Even though this is considered normal and accepted behavior by medical providers in the US, somehow the insurance companies have been declared evil by politicians, who make millions in personal wealth from corporations that provide medical services. The game is rigged and "We The People" are getting screwed right up the old poop shoot. WANTED, LordOfChaos, blk_plague and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once The Dollar Collapses It Will Start A Chain Reaction And Many People Will Be Hungry. Then People Will BEG The Government For Everything Including Basic Needs. You Have Never Heard Of What I Say Will Happen In 20 Years In Canada? Just Remember, WE Are All In Transition, Your Healthcare System Will Move Towards What I Said Will Happen. Actually, You Are Just Helping Lead The Way For The USA To Follow....

Universal healthcare has been an option in some parts of Canada for 60 years!!! It was implemented federally for the past 45 years. If they are planning to run our lives they are taking thier sweet time. If keeping costs down and letting people like myself (radiology manager) make sound choices so we can provide superior care to patients is what u think is a government take over.. Then the sky must be falling my friend. Not once has the government told me how to provide care and to which patients should get that care. Maybe, just maybe you can learn a thing or two instead of brushing it off. We as a nation have from our great neighbors to the south, and we are proud to admit that.

ER is a worst case first scenario in Canada. If a guy with a broken finger has been waiting in the waiting room for 2 hours and suddenly a heart patient comes in, well guess what the guy with the finger is going to be waiting a while yet. Is that a bad thing? I think not, thats why our government employs triage nurse to assess these cases. We as Canadians know it works this way. But here is another way to look at a wait time... If you have a broken finger and had to wait 4 hours to get in and out of a hospital here in Canada is it really that bad? The cost of that doc to see you plus the cost of the bed youre sitting on plus the cost of all the supplies needed to cast or splint that finger all add up to im guessing between $500 to $1000 well divide that by the 4 hours you waited for that and tell me what you like better.Pay out of pocket and get out of the hospital quicker or let our tax system pay for it and have a 4 hour wait for it. Well im not a rich guy so i would much rather wait 4 hours.Is it inconvenient to wait 4 hours? Yes it sure is but its also inconvenient to break a finger because shit happens LordOfChaos, JohnnyQuest and JohnnyDos 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

With that, the argument is over, Canadian health care won because I have the biggest writing lol , now I am going to go drink some beers on this lovely long weekend, you may now post your counter arguments, cause I am going to be to pissed to care to read them till Monday lol Well said, and if you stumble and fall and smash your head open from drinking to much beer, dont worry about it. Our health care will fix you up in a couple hours and send you on your way with all your money still in your pocket to buy MORE beers hahahahaaha... Now hows that for a great health system Logan, WANTED, JohnnyDos and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Universal healthcare has been an option in some parts of Canada for 60 years!!! It was implemented federally for the past 45 years. If they are planning to run our lives they are taking thier sweet time. If keeping costs down and letting people like myself (radiology manager) make sound choices so we can provide superior care to patients is what u think is a government take over.. Then the sky must be falling my friend. Not once has the government told me how to provide care and to which patients should get that care. Maybe, just maybe you can learn a thing or two instead of brushing it off. We as a nation have from our great neighbors to the south, and we are proud to admit that. Get off the conspiracy blogs and right wing propaganda! They are just as bad as the tree hugging liberal stuff! I'm No Blog- Conspiracy Type... I have been saying what I have been saying way longer than those who cry wolf for financial gain. I'm VERY SORRY I WASTED MY BREATH ON YOU.... It won't happen again...
