To start with sometimes we have to wait a bit, but anyone who is in serious need of something does
not go without. My wife has serious COPD and when she can't breath she can't breath, out system
is there for her and we don't pay up front through the nose either. Americans might feel better if they
knew that while our Docs go south we are actually subsidising your health care, as Canadians we
fund our institutions to the point where we actually subsidize Doctors training to the tune of about a
quarter million dollars.
Americans are joyfully living in the dark ages, they whisper the word communist plot, and everyone
turns thumbs down on medicare. They love paying their money out for service that is readily
available in Europe and Australia, New Zealand and other parts of the world including Canada.
Not only that most companies like medicare as it cuts down on those medical plan funds that are designed
for making shareholder profit rather the the welfare of the nation.
Now if you are only referring to the cost of medicare you have some points. The problem is not the program
the problem is that when it was instituted there was no plan to finance it properly, and now we live with the
problem. Compared to the United States, it is like living in a civilized country here, medically. Yes you can
have all the innovations, and machines and so on, but if the cost of this is so high as to exclude many and
bankrupt many more, it is not the best system in the world by a long shot however if it is what you want to
believe that is your democratic right.
The one thing the American government and education system has done is brainwash people to the view
that everything in America is best when it clearly is not and really never has been. I know I hear this stuff all
the time from my American Relatives. There are many wonderful things in America that is true, as there are
in other places to, but the American society is and has been in a state of denial for the last few decades.
Wake up my friend and take a look around, you are being chased by the Asian Dragon, and the symbols of
the old European Club. Even those in South America are heading off in other directions. The reason is like
every other field of endeavour America has lost its way, and believing in the likes of Sarah Palin has not helped
it any. If America does not get control of its fiscal house and embark on a social contract with it citizens
its empire will sink so fast it will have to live on triple daylight saving time,
