I and every Canadian who pays a monthly premium does.
How it works is the Government negotiates payment schedules both with Doctors, Surgeons, and Health Boards (they are the ones in charge of the Hospitals) and they also get funding from private insurers like Blue Cross, Pacific Cross, Manulife, etc.

There isn't a shortage of funding or infrastructure, there is however a shortage of manpower, but that is happening worldwide.

How long did you have to wait to go to physical therapy?

It's possible to accomplish a mission but not win the war. A war is made up of many missions. I'm a Bush man and he is the best we've had since his dad. That doesn't mean I agree with everything he does. I don't even agree with my wife all the time but I don't tell her that. I'm no fool!!

Let's not turn this into a health care debate. If you gents really want to talk about Health Care and compare it to Canada's...let's go to the thread for that discussion and allow Canadians to share their experiences...

I know a man who needs surgery on his wrist. He's been waiting for over 6 months with some real pain that he tries to treat with over the counter pain meds. And he lives right here in the ol' U.S. of A. Wanna guess why he's waitin'???

No wait at all so long as there was confirmation on who was paying.
Foot was Workers Compensation, Back was ICBC.

Without a doubt we had enough troops to conquor but not enough to pacify. There were mistakes made no doubt.

But that is a far cry from the revisionist history Democrats are trying to bamboozle the American people with.

Every Western Intelligence bureau had come to the same conclusions our Government did. Not to mention that the Dems looking at the same intelligence estimates the President did supported going to war.

It was only when it became a difficult struggle and no WMD were found that all of a sudden the Dems started fingers at the Prez and acting like he knew the intelligence was wrong all along. Bull Hockey.

Do you really think he would have risked his Presidency on going to war on a lie that would immediately be found out? That is so illogical it is laughable but right donw the liberal Dems alley.

Liberals, Dems, believe that no matter how outragous something is you say that if you say it enough times people will begin to believe it. Sadly sometimes that is true.
