True News: 'Canadian Health Policy Failures' - An Interview with Dr Brett Skinner

So he says the US pays 50% more per person for healthcare, I suppose thats ok if you're a rich suit like this Doctor, otherwise it could be iffy.

Saying that in the UK the healthcare is creaking under the load, due in part to lots of 'cosmetic' and 'lifestyle choices' being done on the NHS and soon somethings going to give.

this video is a complete joke. what a load of rubbish. totally biased

excellent video. Am I my brother's keeper? Not at the point of a gun. Why should someone who remains healthy (at least some of which is based on the activities of the guy who remains healthy) have to pay for someone elses' health care?

Do you have health insurance?

We don't need Health Insurance, we have single payer Health Care. It is covered through the taxes the government collects from our salaries, and we pay the same percentage as you do to the government. The program is at the Provincial level not the Federal level. (Canada has 10 Provinces and 3 territories.) Everyone is covered regardless if they work or not.

There is no additional taxation or Insurance companies involved.

So, you don't have health insurance?

Do any Canadians have health insurance?

What are you reffering to? We have a medicare system in every province and territory. We don't need additional health insurance.

Are you saying you don't have health insurance? Like you, singular.

You've said "we" don't need it. But I don't know who "we" is, and I didn't ask about needing it, but having it.

Do any Canadians have health insurance? In addition to, or as a substitute for, the public plan?

We means all Canadians are covered by our Medicare, or healthcare plan.

Canadians do not need additional health insurance coverage nor is there a substitute plan. All our medical requirements are provided for. The exception is the pharmaceutical prescriptions. We pay for those. I guess you could call that additional health insurance where the Ins company pays 80% of the drugs required. However if you are not well off for cash, the government can cover your pharma requirements also.

Do you, personally, have health insurance, apart from the public plan?

To your knowledge, do any Canadians have health insurance, apart from the public plan?
