People have no clue how the healthcare really is here outside of what things like this show. I would take the healthcare here over the US any day.
It really isin't as bad as it is said, waiting times are often shoreter than in hospitals in the US. All citizens get free healthcare so they don't have to worry about being too poor or screwed by their insurance company to not get that surgery they need or they will die.
BC blows, face it. Now run along and play with your... trees. Within the same week kinda blows actually. I live in a larger town and a mri can recieved within a few days or even that day if necessary. |

So you go nuts on us when one guy waits an unacceptable amount of time. What about the thousands of Americans who have undoubtedly died due to undiagnosed brain tumors? A medical system based on private payment is completely absurd. Most people get treatment on a timely basis. These isolated incidences are hardly worse that death due to inability to afford treatment. I can't stop laughing at the narrator saying "the system that has failed so miserably". I now believe Canadian and American definitions of "fail" and "miserable" are very different... ------------- CPro (w/ polished internals) 14" Bigshot BT SBS Various Rails NcSTAR D4B Macro AA 68/45

I can assure you medical care in Canada is of at least equal "quality" to that in the states. We don't turn down care because of a bad credit card. You, in many cases, do.

| It seems like Canada has a great idea, but with a few flaws for a few people. I'm sure most people can get the healthcare that they need fairly quickly, maybe just as quick as us in the United States. I'm sure there are always a few cases where some people get something screwed up and it creates for a prolonged wait for certain people. I believe that we should try to find a middle ground between the Canadian and US systems. We should be allowed personal healthcare, but with limited government aid. That way, people in the US could be paying exactly what they pay now, but get better healthcare due to the government aid. I don't know a lot, or much at all about either healthcare system, as I'm not old enough to have had much experience with it, but this seems like the logical path to me. Of course, due to my limited prior knowledge, I could be completely off. |

I'm not implying that Canadian physicians are poorly trained, but I am implying that for free health care, you're not going to be put under the care of the best doctors in your area. However, if you pay for a good, private health insurance company, you can rest assured that you will be under the care of the best doctors around. And as for the poorer people, it all depends on where you live. Many poor people with little or no health insurance in inner-city St. Louis get excellent care at Barnes Hospital, where top doctors from around the nation train Washington University medical students (Wash U. ranks 3rd in the US for medical school), and Saint Louis University Hospital, another great medical university, is also in downtown St. Louis and available to the poor. Both these hospitals have top-quality doctors and medical research is done right there. |

From what i've read and heard, the US healthcare system is far from high quality.
Only what i've heard/read. What actualy experience do you have in a similar situation to what I was talking about?
So seriosuly, what does BC have to offer besides endless forests. (well... soon they will be endless fields with stumps) Same question to you choopie.
Yes you can be. Canada has a record for amazing feats in healthcare. The children's hospital in Toronto is world renowned. Not necessarily, what is to stop your insurance company from giving you cheap doctors? Or denying you based on a technicality? |

I highly doubt that. Theres 50,000 just in my small city outlying St. Louis. If health care was free, and everyone was on the same health care, you're telling me the few top doctors in my area are going to serve all 50,000 people? No, some random people will be stuck with other doctors. St. Louis county has over one million residents. It's not possible for everyone to be placed under the care of the best doctors.
From what I've experienced, our health care is high quality. I could get an MRI tomorrow if need be. Last time I was sick, I went to the doctor, and he suggested I get x-rays and blood tests to check for pneumonia. Within one hour of leaving the doctor's office that day, I went and had x-rays taken, blood drawn, and the results send back to my doctor that day.
Like I said, you sign with a good insurance company. Do the research, and get to know your doctor. Although not completely accurate, price is a good indicator to the quality of what you're buying. If something is free, it's probably not the best of quality. If you're paying good money for something, you're probably paying it for a reason. Do the research and find out what you're paying for. As for technicalities, know your policy. And even then, stuff happens. Theres not avoiding it, and no system is perfect. There will always be trade-offs, you just have to weigh them against each other and decide which is best. |
Posted By: carl_the_sniper
Date Posted: 25 February 2008 at 6:56pm
I can get to know my doctor also... That only applies if there is free vs not free. Since there is just free, all the good doctors are spread out across the healthcare system. You have to wonder though if there really are doctors that you wouldn't want working on you with all the restrictions we currently have. I like it run as a service rather than a moneymaking business, it serves the public better. |

Well, if you only want the top doctors working on you, then I'm sure there are doctors in the system that you don't want working on you. Theres no way that the best doctors can serve everyone. It's impossible, there are just too many people and too few top quality doctors. Sure, running it as a service may be better for the public as opposed to running it as a business, but if you can already afford good health insurance, it's worse for you. |

I've been all over Canada, so yes I have a decent basis for comparison. And their transit system is just less intuitive than other places I've been.

Ahem! Here we go.....
Personally, I would far rather live in a country where equality isn't based on the "what if" of the wallet. The odds of getting a great or "bad" doctor is equal here, just based on odds. You DO have every opportunity to meet your potential doctor in an interview long before any work gets done. We have a large pool of surgeons at every hospital so you may meet with a surgeon before an operation. I like know that if i slip and break an arm or get the flu or need a vaccination, I won't need to dish out any cash for it. The standard for practicing medicine IS EXACTLY THE SAME for US and Canada. Even considering that many greedy doctors and even more RN's move to the states when they graduate so they can cash in on the sickness. ------------------------------------------------ And as a very well travelled Canadian, who has LIVED in many of the provinces(except manitoba and saskatchewan), I will list my personal preference in order from best(top) to least favorite). -Newfoundland(screech, 'nuff said) -Nova Scotia -Quebec (i'm from montreal and learned both official languages like any good canadian should) -Alberta -BC (kind of a weird bizarro world version of the east coast) -New-Brunswick -Ontario Ontario is the worst because of a huge lack of culture, snobbiness, and the most boring drive in the north. Then again, this is my personal view, but I have lived everywhere for minimum a month and have sampled the local cultures. But i would sooner live in Stupid ontario than even consider the very thought of even vacationing in the states. That's a matter of principle. ------------- A second class drive is always better than a first class walk. |

Come check it out, it's a good time. And the transit system here makes sense, and it's clearly marked on major stops. The skytrain operates in a clear loop with well marked paths/ titling so you know which way you're going easily, and "B-Line" busses run from major stops for quick bussing too. Edmonton is even easier, since the city is set up essentially like a grid (damn flatlands) so you can practically get an address, and just figure it out from there, as all the streets progress how they should. Either way, come check out Vancouver sometime and see how mistaken you are. |

I especially like the part where that one guy keeps demanding specifics from the people he's arguing with, but never supplies anything more than broad generalities himself. ------------- ? |

 back to topic: An American's Two cents: I've been to Montreal, and it was god-awful. I disliked the city, as well as the people we met. They were stuffy and unfriendly. Even the tour guide we had assigned to us on the trip was an a-plug. I'm hoping he wasn't indicative of all of the residents of that particular area. ------------- ? |

Go to Halifax, Nova Scotia, then come to Vancouver, BC. Halifax is just a gong show of a good time, and we already went over Vancouver. |

Yeah he shoulda gone to Halifax.
The problem is that alot of people hear about montreal and think it will be nice. As someone who grew up in montreal i can say that it takes some getting used before you can truly enjoy it. But for all travellers from the states, try to avoid Quebec, it's like a different country with a chip on it's shoulder, especially against you anglo's. ------------- A second class drive is always better than a first class walk. |
