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.

In that area they are making progress.
pretty much every Insurance company uses a standard form, with
standard codes. It is what they do with it that makes heads spin.
The Doctors offices have to deal with a myriad of companies and a
variety of reimbursement types.
In my own case, I have
Keep in mind, Fed-Ex and UPS syphon off the money making elements of
delivering stuff, leaving the USPS to soldier on with what is left.

Yea, sure Mike. It's just that simple.

That is not an argument for abolishing the PO (inadvisable) but for
reforming politics (really hard,
but what else are you going do)

That would require real effort on the part of the majority of

I have never had any problems with health care in the United States. NONE. My
family has always received great care. We are not rich, and we live in a rural
area in the midwest. Our EMT's are volunteers and our hospital is non-profit
and operates in the black.
Good for you Jeff, but does that prove anything?
How about the 45.000.000 without insurance? The
ones who fall into the crack between
insurance and medicaid. Don´t they count?...

You have just been fortunate.
It is possible to cover everyone for health insurance, we just have
to change the way we think, and as you said take the profit motive
out of the equation.
Well Rev. the wing nuts believe that everything ought to be for profit.
Even their mega churches are for-profit corporations paying big
Most people do not understand that we have only one political party
in this nation. It's the Corporation Party. It has two wings, the
Democratic Wing and the Republican Wing. Each wing draws voter

I have to mostly agree with this. Though those who can't afford it
do get it, and this is what raises the cost for those who can afford
it. In 2003 I was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure. At the
time I had no health insurance and no job. I was treated anyway with
several EKGs and

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.

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

After he died the doctor ordered, and my
Marcio income and insurance does not guarantee you good care in the

misdiagnosed his condition and he died.

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.)

A second opinion.

Not sure who said it, but sometimes it's true...our system is the worst in
the world, except for everything else. I believe it was said about our
government system but it seems to hold true
So we're a for-profit nation and the countries/continents without any
form of universal health care are the African continent (yes, the
entire thing sans South Africa), China, several Middle Eastern
countries, and a few South American countries. Gee, I feel so good
being with such
I lived in Canada for 4.5 years and all my in-laws live there still.
Canada's health system is different than ours. They have mandatory
health insurance, but the province administrates the health insurance
so it makes sure everyone can afford it. I do not know how much it
is but it is less
health outcomes in industrialized countries are essentially
the same.

By the way, the U.S. already has a single-payer health plan that works
fairly well - it's called Medicare. It is not perfect, but it
provides a huge amount of healthcare, in America, with the least value
coming from the Republican-mandated free-market portion called
Medicare-Advantage
Bert, I didn't write the article so point your petulance somewhere else.
