Yeah. They just disallow coverage to the chronically sick, charge the value of a house for a hospital stay and discontinue your treatment if they see diminishing chances .. all to generate the 35%margins that the shareholders demand.

I didn't say that it was Mike's fault. The only thing that I fault Mike for was selling off the cash cow 407 for a song. Not too bright ...

That whole transaction smells totally corrupt.
Liberals, Conservative, all are capable of cheating. The Liberals out-do the Conservatives about three to one but it's hard to ignore those A300 Airbuses flying in and out of Trenton.
It's done...move on.
Chretien invested in the company that bought the 407....smart thing that was.
In the west a political party convention has nothing at all to do with leadership and everything to do with selecting an obedient slobbering stooge for Zionist masters.
...as I said ... corrupt beyond reconning ...
I wonder if Chretien owned a piece of Augusta-Westland?
They made $4 bil. without having to build one helicopter!
Inshallah, and salami oh Amir of Dartmouth.
Why bother with the Kubuki theatre routine of filing tax returns? Why not just stuff cash into envelopes and send it to your favourite politician.?
When they came out with the new OHIP card I was told the reason for it was they could just swipe it and all info would be on the Bar Code and it would open up your file. But both the Bar Code and Mag Stripe are just to verify if the card is legit......

I know exactly what you mean. I had minor surgery recently and I was given a complete question and answer session a day before the procedure. Then I was told to report to another section of the hospital where I was asked the same questions. After that I was sent to still a third area where ... Guess what? The same questions. I decided to make a game of it and kept track of the number of times I was asked for the same information. Total? 15 different interviews all asking for the same info. A huge waste of time and money for the health care system? You bet!
Some other poster mentioned privatised healthcare as being the answer. Instead of Triage nurses doing so much clerical work, you'd have $10.00/hr clerks doing triage ... probably using an I-Phone app.
My experience with private medicine is that wherever possible the service is padded as much as possible. If private health care was actually cheaper then the USA would have the cheapest and most efficient healthcare system in the world instead of the opposite. Another example is dentistry in which as many costs are loaded on to dental procedures as the dentist can get away with. I get my teeth cleaned every year. Just a few years ago it used to cost about $250 for my yearly checkup and teeth cleaning. The last time I went in it coast over $500 and my insurance covered only 80% of it.
Yes that was my point. Particularly since you still had the bracelet on.

It does not offer your info pertaining to visits or your medical history. And while I think it should I was reading that 'privacy concerns' is the issue.....
