Also, your health care is cheaper because you control supply and prices, which is pretty much a political non-starter in the US. The AMA would never go for it. they totally are, you guys do eat a bit worst but this big Canadian - American culture divide is a myth. You have a few more black people but overall we are the same. We minimize what glaxokleinsmith and pfizer can gouge for their drugs, its true, but they don't leave our markets. They make a fortune in Canada. The biggest thing is all the bloat you guys feel from profit. The insurance companies you run are inefficient and siphon off as much cash to their shareholders/owners as possible. Do you really need to make the mega wealthy more wealthy in everything you do? I guess you believe so, and in my experience people with minds as owned as yours have no hope. But I'll probably respond a few more times anyway... edit: I will add our doctors make less too, but they still make a killing. I guess not having kickbacks for prescribing as many meds as possible is a bad thing... | ||

Nope, well less and we'll still treat everyone. Thanks for firing some political rhetoric at me, though. And about 2 - 5 weeks. If you break your leg you get it fixed ASAP. No unnecessary waiting. There are walk in clinics everywhere if you want to have an issue seen today and even if you phone your family doctor and say its pretty urgent for personal reasons they will let you in that day or the next... having lived in 5 different provinces I can say this is not isolated. Yeah we have that here too. This is interesting http://politics.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/peter-roff/2009/07/28/statistics-show-canada-healthcare-is-inferior-to-american-system | ||

Hey, I'd be the first person to argue Canada is basically America, Jr., but we definitely eat a lot worse. According to FAO, we consume about 10% more calories and fat grams. You have a few more black people but overall we are the same. We also have quite a few more Latino people and the socioeconomic distribution is quite a bit different (we have far more people on the lower end). We minimize what glaxokleinsmith and pfizer can gouge for their drugs, its true, but they don't leave our markets. They make a fortune in Canada. Marginal cost of drugs is negligible. I guess you believe so, and in my experience people with minds as owned as yours have no hope. But I'll probably respond a few more times anyway... Ironic, it looks like your mind is already made up. Maybe next time you should do a better job at gauging my opinions before judging me? Like, I don't know, reading some of the posts I've made in this very thread? Check the previous pages. Or you can go on trolling with your silly "derp" meme. It's up to you if you want people to take you seriously or not. | ||

Oh don't forget that you didn't even deal with the one about "imploding" or did not you not read it? Are you going to dismiss this one to because it references the Fraser institute? http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2007/10/15/waittimes-fraser.html lol , someone pays for something... I wonder what the population comparison is between Canada and US? | ||

Why are Americans so much lower? They don't get treated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy You get what you pay for. Free government healthcare is a joke. You get seen at overloaded clinics with doctors that don't provide the same type of care if you had insurance you paid for since government healthcare reduces the payment made to doctors for the visit. It doesn't get cheaper because the doctors can just reject those patients leaving things just how they are right now. Reform my ass. | ||

- if there is an opinion there is a semi-credible news source funded by some political party or another who supports it. The only statisics and news I have been talking about are -Life expectancy, as provided by the CIA -Government spending on healthcare, as provided by the Canadian and American government bureaucracies. Don't have time to deal with every brilliantly constructed think tank news machine. (derp) | ||

Healthcare in the Netherlands is financed by a dual system that came into effect January 2006. Long-term treatments, especially those that involve semi-permanent hospitalization, and also disability costs such as wheelchairs, are covered by a state-controlled mandatory insurance. (hopefully this dutch website will cock slap you with the truth in a second...) Singapore has a universal healthcare system where government ensures affordability edit; oh i forgot HEEEEERRR HEREEEERRRRR DEEEEERP | ||

Yeah classic you don't want to acknowledge that they may have points so you try to discredit them. Oh read this SASKATOON–The incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association says Canada's health-care system is sick and doctors need to develop a plan to cure it. http://www.healthzone.ca/health/newsfeatures/article/681882 | ||
