blathered the following foolishness.....

But not a Canada or UK style. They are both bankrupt and long waits for
care. Sort of like Kaiser Health System. You can have a long wait for
surgery and other care. Worst thing that happened to the US health system
was all inclusive insurance programs. Encourages people to use the health
care system, when they do not need to se it. Plus those who pay cast for
their health care, are subsidizing the insurance. When an insurance
company pays about 20% of the billed amount, the medical profession has to
make up the difference.


Bankrupt?? Not likely.
The complaint is trying to stay with even with rising costs.......
especially when competing for doctors & nurses with filthy rich American
hospitals.

Do you have an inferiorty complex when discussing everything about the US?

The long waits are for certain treatments and vary with the relative wealth
of the individual provinces.

So you do agree, there are many people in Canada who do have long waits
for the more expensive procedures.

All this brought on by the federal gov't reducing the percentage of health
care costs it contributes.

This is something all insurance companies are doing, they are trying to
place a value on health care, so the consumer will use medical services
prudently. What all insurance companies, and government medical health
care have found out, if the consumer doesn't pay a percent of the cost
directly for the services they receive, they have no vested interested
in trying to hold down cost.
