In Canada there is two ways a doctor can set up a practice the public way and the private way.
The public is provincial health care that is paid by the tax payer which means the patient does not have to pay for any procedure because they have already paid through they’re taxes.
In the provincial healthcare system the doctor has a lot of red tape or bureaucracy to go through just to get paid.
Most doctors will opt into the provincial healthcare system for one reason and that is they will have access to a lot of patients in a shorter period of time because when you don’t have to pay for medical services when it is rendered you will go more often.
The private is private healthcare that is paid by the patient to the doctor.
These doctors appeal to the upper middle class and upper class client that can afford to pay big bucks to be treated first.
The doctors have to advertise heavily until they have enough patients to sustain their practice.
In a public system triage is in effect which means that you are assessed and will be put on a waiting list until you are treated.
In a private system you will be treated right away because you are willing to pay the hundreds of thousand dollars.
A lot of provinces do not pay for those procedures that I call voodoo medicine like chiropractic, homeopaths, naturopaths, acupunctures and so on because a lot of these practices never cure anything or let me clarify that these disciplines to my knowledge never cured anything but I am sure there is the odd cure somewhere.
The provincial healthcare systems will not pay for the quacks that hang up their shingles and call themselves doctors.
And there is your private healthcare and the fully trained doctors that have decided never to use the provincial healthcare system.
There are more than enough qualified doctors to make the system work in Canada unfortunately they are driving taxi cabs or working as security guards or washing dishes or doing janitorial work because to get Canadian accreditation they have to pay tens of thousands of dollars which they do not have.
It is too bad that this Conservative wants to Americanize our healthcare system.
In America more people die because they simply cannot afford to pay for medical procedures that we Canadians get for our tax dollars.
