All health care systems, including the US ration resources on some basis.
The ironic thing about the health care debate focusing on Canada and Britain
as alternative models is that we are familiar with them because of linguistic
and cultural similarities but neither are particularly well funded
British and Canadian system are quite different. In the British the
docs are employees of the system. In Canada they are not.

Some of you should immediately stop reading and hit the delete key. You

It's getting hard to find reasons to buy a Windows PC, aside from sheer

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.

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.
My grandmother died due
Yes, the Canadian System has indeed some powerful enemies. Not
difficult to figure why.

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
Marcio income and insurance does not guarantee you good care in the
US. Ask the wife of John Ritter who died of a dissected Aorta. They
misdiagnosed his condition and he died.
My brother had the same problem and 10 years later is still
living. He was properly diagnosed. And my brother is
alance 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.
My grandmother died due to a failed hip operation, her third in two
months and she was over 90! OK which
I am not sure. When you talk about rationing it sounds like
a bad thing. But in terms of dollars and cents the Canadian System
has to make sure that the tax money is well spent. In the
US the private sector has a lot of rationing by the insurance
companies. And then
cent inquiries both personal and on line have failed to uncover any
knowledge of being asked to do this in recent times.
Does anybody have any experience with this? I travel relatively
seldom, and almost never with a laptop.
Thanks!
I fly only once or twice a year but always with a laptop
Paula include Hospitals in that also. Does anyone remember the name

profit healthcare/hosptials. He is now in federal custody due to
State Bribery charges but was acquitted of fraud with his own company

Paula I once heard it said that if we made Insurance mandatory and
paid for every ones health insurance our premiums would actually go
down due to less extraordinary procedures and other influences.
It is possible to cover everyone for health insurance, we just have
to change the way we
Paula, I am a psychiatrist and a psychoanalyst
and I trained and worked in the USA for thirty years.
I love this Country. I even became a citizen. But
the insurance companies do ration in a perverse
way. I even had a web page to protest against them:
Stewart, something like Medicare (US) for all?...

Can't answer that one Marcio. Not sure how it should be done.
(I do know that Medicare has lengthened the life of our seniors and
made it dramatically better than it once was.)
