Here is my two cents.
National Health care works if you are not heavily sick. My father passed because the doctors have long wait list. You cant pass the wait list even with money. You can not get best service, you get service that you are assigned to.
In Canada, there are private hospitals but they are limited to certain services because its regulated by level of service it is allowed to offer. The wait list in Canada is a serious problem.
I have advocated for Canadian health care system for years but after seeing what my father had to go through to get care, I am starting to see the faults. My only regret is that I didnt send him to US for faster care at hospital, of course with charge.
In addition, there are monthly charges that you on top of your taxes. Through equalization, you are paying for health care in other provinces, which are poorer.
For minimal national health care, yes but for comprehensive, I say no.
- Thanks for sharing. I've heard lots of similar stories from people I work with.designbot
- Your private insurance works the same, it sends your money to those who require more care... the catch is they also add PROFIT on top of it.zarkonite

- that's interesting because one of my canadian friends who had a life threatening infection was sent to the US on the CAD gov's dollar because of a lack of available specialist. they did what they could and it worked.spifflink
