To#65 – that’s an accurate story about nationalized health care. It’s like that in Canada.
As I said, most of the money, and it’s a LOT of money, goes to the expanding, increasing bureaucracy of the system; that is, to the secondary record keeping referential system. It doesn’t go to doctors, equipment and care. It doesn’t go to update and modernize hospitals.
Canadians rely, and I really mean that, on the existence of the US system right next door to them. When they can’t get treament, and this is very common, they go to the US for that treatment. This includes eye surgery, cancer treatments, heart treatments – you name it. People go to the US for treatment because they can’t get it here in Canada.
The treatment might not be available. Or it might not be funded (such as eye exams); or the wait time for that treatment might be very long (a year or more).
What will Canadians do if they don’t have the excellent medical services of the US next door, to bolster up the inadequate Canadian system?
