Who are they? When did they tell me this?
================
You tell me. Or, were you just making up the stuff you
claimed about getting in for any test right away?

What are you talking about? You can't get any test you want
right away.
================
Wellthere you go. Thanks for finally admitting there are wait
lists...


However, you can get excellent care most everywhere and in the
event of living in a geographically isolated area or some other
area where there is less equipment and doctors than the norm,
tests for non-emergencies might result in a long wait.
=======================
That's part of the point, idiot. How do you know if it's an
emergency without the test? You really are that stupid, aren't
you?



Take a look into low birth weight babies born in
Canada vs
the
US. Being born low weight to a Canadian family is a
greater
risk
that being born to a African-American family in the
US.
Where
does that fit in with your ill-concieved ideas that
the
'poor'
in
the US suffer, while no-one in Canada does?

Where are you getting that information?
=======================
Try getting it yourself. You're the one in canada....

As I suspected. More yakety yak by someone who has no
idea.
==========================
LOL Thanks for proving that you are ignorant of computer
use.

Your statement does not compute.
=======================
Of course not, not to someone that apparently dosen't know
how to use theirs, eh?

Logic system failure.
====================
Yes, you have failed at alot of things here.

Core logic meltdown.
==============
Yes, you are there.



As far as making ignorant claims, there are more than a
few that
you have never backed up.

This is a weasely way of admitting that you can't back up
your claim.
====================
Nopde. Try again fool. I've even given you the hints...

No hinting necessary weasel.
=================
Of couirse not. You knew you were spouting idiocy when you
started. You just weren't expecting to be called on your
stupidity.

You haven't called me on anything.
==================
Yes, your ignorant jingoistic chest-thumping, fool.




snippage...



How many? What are they coming for? Why?
=======================
Why do all yours allegedly prefer the canadian system? I've
answered one reason right off the bat. No waits. In a couple
of cases the treatments needed weren't life threatening, but
very painful joint problems. They decided that their wait
time, and being dosed with painkillers instead of treatment
was medically unsound.

They prefer the Canadian system because the standard of care is
not dependent upon your income and you don't have to mortgage
your house to get the treatment that you need.
====================
More strawmen, marching to the tune of your ideology, eh?


Yes, you might indeed have to wait longer than
you would like to treat something that is painful but not
life-threatening.
=====================
Again, that's the point idiot. You don't know what is and is not
life-threatening without some of these teats. And, what isn't
life-threatening at that very moment may be if you have to wait 2
years for the dianostic tests.



As to the 'anywhere else on the planet', Canada barely
ranks
better than the US

And yet, ranks better, by whatever standard you are
using.
================
LOL Where have I ever claimed the US had no problems?
You on
the other hand are trying to defend the indefenseble.

Not at all. So far you have pointed out that certain people
looking for a
very specific type of scan in a non-emergency situation in
Newfoundland are
having to wait a long time. This is a far cry from the
statements about
peopel dying in waiting lines that brought me into this
goofy discussion.
==========================
LOL That you have to fisate on one example says alot about
your brainwashing. That you believe that that is the one
and only case available to find is a hoot.

It was your example.
================
Yes, one example of many. Why do you try to deny the months
long wait lists acroos Canada? More chest thumping?

What wait lists across Canada? All you have talked about is one
isolated case in Newfoundland.

I got involved in this thread because it was alleged that
Canadians are dying in waiting lines. That is total crap.
================
Not according to som,e of your own media, unions, and
universities, fool.




And there hasn't been one piece
of evidence to support the allegation, nothing but a story
about Newfoundland, and nothing having to do with people dying
while waiting.
====================
LOL Because YOU are afraid to research the data. Your idiocy
would be exposed to yourself that way..



and both are in the 30s, from the top of best
care. Both have serious problems, and jingoistically
pounding
your chest about being #30 doesn't really mean anything,
does
it?


This means, logically,
at the other end of the scale a very rich person may
indeed
opt
to seek care
elsewhere.
================
Again, yes, rather than to wait until they are an
'emergency'
case.

You have no clue.
=====================
Yes, apparently more than you.

There is no evidence of that.
====================
I've posted real data, from real sites.

Perhaps so, but none to support your argument.
====================
LOL So, the sites I have posted have somehow said that there
are no wait times in canada? Man, you do have comprhension
problems, don't you?

There are wait times in every medical system.

Nobody in Canada is dying while waiting, as was alleged.
==================
Not according to sources in your own country.




You seem to be making it up as you go. Come on, provide
more than just your say-so that there are no waiting lines
for Canadian health-care.

If you mean that somewhere in a doctor's office or emergency
room someone is waiting, I have to agree.

But no one is dying in a waiting line.
======================
An assertion that is not backed up by canadian sources. And
for many, the decision is not to wait until then, but to go
elsewhere for treatment.

No one is dying in a waiting line as alleged.

==================
Not according to sources in your own country.





I went to the doctor just last Monday. I called on Friday.
Got an appointment Monday afternoon. Received excellent care.
Got a prescription, had it filled that day. What's the
problem?
======================
ummm, one example. Somehow I get the feeling that one exmple
for youis adequate, but I have to show that every Canadian is
waiting for specialized treatment. see your ideology is
still in control, rather that rationality.

You seem to have some bizarre notions about how things work
here, so I was sharing with you a real life example.
======================
LOL Yet when I shared 'one' example of the other extreme it was
somenow not pertenent. Seems you have a bizarre notion of 'real
life' examples. I gave you other real life examples as well.


The fact that there is no evidence to
sustantiate the allegation of people dying in waiting lines
should of course been enough for you.
==================
Not according to sources in your own country.






You are basing your ridiculous views on an isolated
situation
in
Newfoundland. That's like basing my view of US health
care on
some spot in
Alaska.
=====================
Isolated? What a hoot!!! Try some research fool.
Start at
the Fraser Institute. Surely you've heard of them.
They're in
Canada.

I know all about the Fraser Institute. LOL. Now perhaps I
have at least a
partial explanation of where you are getting these crazy
ideas. The
secondary name for the Fraser Institue is "I wish George W.
Bush was the
Prime Minister of Canada." Asking what the Fraser Institute
thinks about
Canadian Health Care is like asking the NRA for objective
advice on
handguns. Only worse! ROFL
====================
They are but one. But nice to see your ideology won't let
truth get in your way. Keep trying fool, maybe someday
you'll learn something other than your brainwashed opinion.

Heehee. You are so silly.
===============
Teehee, and you are still an ignorant buffoon.

At least I know that the Fraser Institute isn't the place to go
for objective information. You really looked pathetic spouting
off about that. You could just hear the collective guffaws!
=======================
The data is there. that you reject it because of the messenger
says more about your ideology than your intelligence.



All it manages to do is promote a
have vs have-not conflict.
