The Canadian health care system is not horrible like the American media makes it out to be. In Canada we do not pay for our health care system when we get sick. The way our system is payed for is from our income taxes and other taxes we pay every year. No body in Canada goes bankrupt because they get cancer, but in America it happens every day. In America people do not want to pay for the sick and poor because they feel like it is not their problem. Well in Canada we take care of our sick and our poor because we feel that in a just society one should always be able to get better and build themselves up so that they can help make a healthier and stronger Canada.
I listen to the American media saying that we have death panels and that we let our old die off. That is so from from the truth it is disgusting. In Canada if you are sick you go and see your doctor. No one tells you who you can have as a doctor it is your own choice. The government does not get in between you and your doctor because the government is not a health care provider that is what doctors are for.
In America they let people die because they can not afford to pay for their health care system. That is the most unethical thing in the whole world. The argument Americans make is they can not afford it. Well maybe if they did not invade every country in the world and start taking care of their own before they try to police the world they would have more money to spend.
Health care should be a right every man women and child should have. In this day in age it is amazing to think that a country such as the United States of America the so called "Super Power" of the world would treat their own citizens with such disrespect.
In Canada no one dies from not seeing a doctor in 20 minutes if they have a broken leg. Im sure yes its going to hurt but are you going to have to pay huge amounts of money to get it fixed? NO your not going to so i think you can wait to get it fixed while people who are dyeing get the treatment they need right away so that THEY do not die while you are being tended to. The people with the most serious cases need to be taken care of first and thats what we do in Canada. It does not matter how big your wallet is, you will get taken care of.
The only thing that is wrong with the Canadian health system is people who like to complain and those who want to make money, There is no place for greed in the health system. If you are a doctor because you want to make lots of money and not because you want to save life's then you need to quit. It is unethical to say no to someone because they have no money.
I would never give up my OHIP card not for all the money in the world!
Another thing, those canadians who go to the state and complain about our health system because your parent died or your friend died i feel sorry for you and your loss. But dont blame the health system! Blame your doctor because the government is not a doctor it can not save your life thats the doctors job.
To pay for someone else's health care is not socialism i think you should look up the definition of socialism and relise that your schools, your mail, your garbage collecting, your water, and your electricity is all payed by tax payers money. So Grow up its not the cold war anymore.
Taking care of your countrys people is called humanism not socialism learn the difference...
