Marcio I think you have me pegged wrong. I lived
in Canada and my first two children were born
there. My first child died of congenital heart
problems but got extremely good care and
treatment, he died because of the congenital problems, not care.
After he died the doctor ordered, and my wife and
I both received a complete cardiac work up. When
my wife finally got pregnant again (A whole story
of its own) she was a high risk pregnancy and
again received excellent care. My daughter was
born with out a problem and without bills, and
then when she was a week old (My wife stayed in
he hospital for a whole week with out complaint
by insurance carrier) she was screened and
diagnosed as free from any heart defects after
many tests. Again never a bill was seen.
I think the Canadian system is not all that
bad. At present my church pays over 12,000 a
year for my health benefits (And I do not have a
Cadillac plan, my deductibles are up there.) In
Canada the premiums are 1/4 of this or less. My
church cannot do some activities because my health plan costs so much.

What I said is reinforced by what he said. The
Canadian system uses rationing to balance
things out. We do not like rationing and we
will fight rationing at every turn. My wife's
grandmother died of an aortic
aneurysm. Diagnosed, but not treated, she was over 80.
Take a look at the US Emergency rooms.
I have lost patients in America who needed to be or to remain hospitalized
and this was denied.
My grandmother died due to a failed hip
operation, her third in two months and she was
over 90! OK which one died where????
Yes... do you know how many patients
-uninsured- die in the US for lack of proper care?
Try a hip operation in an American who
falls in between health insurance and medicaid...
You guessed it, and the reason my grandmother
had three operations? My uncle signed an
agreement to pay for any extra treatment over and above medicare!!!!!
I understand, sorry.
There has to be a balance somewhere in the
whole argument we have just not found it yet.
True, but in average, for most
citizens, as a rule, the Canadian, French,
British systems offer better care for the population
than the US. Go and ask the British to
change their system. Not even Margaret Tatcher
was able to do it. As the French or
the Canadians, for that matter if they
want to have the US system... Doesn´t this mean anything?

Here's a little different take on the Canadian
Health Care System by someone who lived in Canada for years...worth reading.
Socializing the health care industry would be
biggest mistake this country has ever
made. Post Office vs Fed Ex. Enough said.
Follow the link below to read the truth about
the socialized Canadian Health Care System.
