My parents have weekly fights with insurance over whether or not they are required to cover the medications I've been taking literally since I was born, because our insurance will every so often decide that I don't actually need that medication. Dude, I am so with you.

I don't think I've ever been more grateful to live in a country with socialized medicine. Sure, Canada's healthcare system sometimes takes a while to get you results, but at least it's there; at least you don't have to worry about whether you can afford to get a prosthetic lung or have a baby. One way to improve clinic waiting times, I think, would be to educate people about herbal medicine and teach them that they don't need to run to the doctor every time they have a cold.

@jukalowe I would like to point out, good sir, that many times Canadians come down to the United States to pay for medical treatment, because your system simply takes too long to aid medical crises that are not immediately visible. Yes, we would share the cost, but it is proven that any government who does any sort of intervention in any field manages to hemorrhage money horribly. Government health care is inefficient to the highest degree, and the system we have , though imperfect, does work.

my mom and dad are on a diabetes medication that is not prescribed in some countries because it is linked to an increased risk for certain cancers. They don't have health insurance because they are too young for medicare and not poor enough for medicaid. Meanwhile i see a commercial on TV that shows that a brand of penis pumps is covered by medicare, and that the tax money my parents pay to their country is going to some old dudes junk, while they have to choose between diabetes and cancer...
