Health Care....ahhhhh...Canada

Recommended Posts

Mneh.

We've got public and private health care. The previous govt got around objections to private health insurance by taxing people at a higher rate (above a certain pay grade) if they didn't take out private health insurance.
However, our new government has set the pay setpoint much higher now, so most people have the choice of going private or public without the added consideration of being penalised at tax time if they didn't.

Our public system isn't great, but its nothing as bad as this report is saying!

I've got private insurance, but if I'm a 'private' patient in a public hospital, the only benefit is the added newspaper I get and an extra $2k bill. So unless its elective surgery, I go public system as a public patient.

Perhaps some vitriolic hatred spewed across the breadth of liberalism would incite them to post a bit...I wonder where I might find some examples of such...

Who gives a fuck?

Canadians live longer, have more sex and have more varied sex, but our teen pregnancy rates and STD rates are lower. We spend more time with friends and family, we drink more, take more vacation and work less. We have the same "interest" in crime, we just get shot less.

And to top it all off, we are now richer too.

So, you can whine all you want about Canadian health care, but I'll keep it and stay in the better country to live in......
