Healthcare in Canada

I had recently attended a seminar discussing Healthcare, and I came to the conclusion, any intrusion of Private healthcare would have devastating results.

Yep, I hear all the time about people from all over the world going to Gambia for cutting-edge medical therapies. And with one doctor for every 5000 people, waiting times rarely exceed 4 months! I hear Michael Moore is getting all his health care from a "traditional healer" in Banjul these days!

Manitoba auto insurance is a good example of how public can be more efficient then private. Only 1 of the past 11 years has there been an increase in there fees. This year it returned 150million to its costumers, a number similar to the profit of private insurers that is ofcourse never returned, while here in NB we find that the private corps have been gauging us for the past 7. Fraser Institute is funded by medical corps. There is trillions of dollars of profit to be made.

dude... listen up. Yes, you are a human being... you dont want a price tag on you... and so on.. but, heres the thing... the wrong thing about Health Care gave by the government is... that the goverment know NOTHING about it. People need to wait months to have a cicurgy.... Why? no need to Hurry! this hospital have no comptetition to worry about... after all, is the government who decide where the money goes. And thats why Private Health Care is good. Competiton equals progression.

@yanni5 The same thing happen to my dad, but he almost died because he was turned away from the first hospital because he had no insurance and had to walk to another. He had pneumonia.

The problem is that the baby boomer are gona retire in mass in a few short years and the current healthcare system isn't gona be able to handle it.

So what's your solution to the problem ?

[scottyross00]

What an amazing world we live in huh? All we need to solve crises are simple solutions like saying we should be like Denmark or France.

And here before I came across your solutions and reasoning I thought it would take hard work, public consultations, investigations, etc

Well then whats wrong with having both government and pivrate healthcare system like in Fance.

The cost of health care in France is half of the that in Canada.

[scottyross00]

Canada may have the most expensive UNIVERSAL health care system, but it doesn't have the MOST expensive system.

Other countries like the USA who have private healthcare are much more expensive.

[simontimon2]

The problem in Canada is that government has a monoply on health care. That's why canada has one of the most expencive univeral health care system.

Other countries like France, Denmark and Switzerland have both a government and privrate healthcare system so people have the freedom to choose.

I don't know, do you think, and I'm just guessing here, your dad is not a dog?
