Would you want a system like that in the United States?
Would I want a Universal Health Care system for the States?

As a Christian and Canadian, I believe everyone should have access to health care.

Americans will have to decide for themselves if that is what they want.

Ron with all due respect. And seriously I am not picking a fight here.

After watching what youve gone thru in the wait for a surgery that you would have had months ago in America, I dont want what Canada has.

First, it is unfair to you to sit at home in pain for months waiting to have an operation. (In America you might have waited a couple of weeks)

second, it puts a massive burden on your employer to pay a person not to work while waiting on a surgery.

and third, i simply do not trust the government to run healthcare. Our government runs vertiually nothing right.

We will all be at it again in 1 to 2 years.

The opposition Libs, NDPer's, Bloc Quebecois don't want to work with the Government.

Only a matter of time before we go to the polls!

As far as I can see both Canada and the U.S, systems of Health Care both need some fixing up. I have been living almost 3 years in the city I'm in and only 2 months ago did I get a family doctor. In the last town I was in I waited almost 4 years.

Amen!
I had a Doctor who brought me into this world.
He retired when I was about 16, I had that Doctor until about 3 years ago, the Doctor I have now is that one.

I have never been without a Doctor in my life.

Ferd, I couldn't have the surgery until it was 8 months to a year after the original surgery so the bones could solidify.

I was supposed to have the Surgery in Early June--right on schedule.
My surgeon's assistant goofed things up & she quit about that same time.
So the failure was one dingbat in my Surgeon's office--not the system.

Again, everyone I knew had surgery that they needed in a timely fashion,
Including two grateful American Pastors who had dual citizenship who would have had to go bankrupt or lose thier home if they were in the States, none of which happened here.
