Why do Right Wingers LIE about Canada's health care system? I know many Canadians and I texted qujite a few of them today asking them if they and the rest of CAnada enjoys their healthcare and they all responded with a resounding YES!
It would be interesting to see a video of a reporting travelling to CAnada and asking random Canadians on the street what they think of their healthcare system and how long they have to wait in lines and how satisfied they are and stand back and let them speak. I assure you it won't be the fucking LIES the Right Wing keeps feeind the public.
All this bullshit about Canadians have to wait forever to get healthcare and fleeing to America are nothing but LIES.
All you can do is laugh at these Right Wingers.
I think the two most common comments are the wait that Candians have and the terrible cost.
As far as cost we pay in excess of $700 a month for insurance, I spent the night in the hospital about a year ago and I owe more than $4,000 for that one night, that is after the insurance paid. And follow up was close to another $1,000. Now less than a year later I can't have necessary surgery because I have to produce another $2500 to pay copays and deductables that are required up front. If I could pay it( I can't) that would be over $15000 in one year, not adding medication, normal Dr visits or what is spent on my wife. Will be close to $17000 in one year. We have what many would say was good insurance, through a very large school district. The so called "best medical system in the world" only works for the healthy or wealthy.
As far as the wait, well I have to wait for my surgery till I can raise the money.
For all of the 90's and some of the 2000's I dealt with a Canadian Company. And I constantly ask Canadians about their healthcare. Not one person wanted to give it up. Of course, I spoke to shipping clerks, factory workers and truck drivers. I didn't speak to the wealthy. A single payer system would probably be better for 70 - 80% of Americans. All this BS about waiting and choice means very little to most of us.
Several years ago I had a back Xray, after insurance I owed over $400. Personally I don't believe I have insurance just a medical discount card.
Good Luck
