That e-mail about Canadian healthcare

Further to my last entry, I am aware of a garbage e-mail making the rounds which purports to explain all the terrible problems with Canadian healthcare. In all cases of urban legend, I like to refer to Snopes. And indeed, you can read the truth about that e-mail here.

No healthcare system is perfect. And as Snopes points out, the "Canadian" system is actually 13 separate healthcare plans, administered by our provinces and territories. But -- across Canada -- no plan is permitted to deny needed medical services based upon a Canadian's income or ability to pay.

Just think about what that means.

I just watched that movie "sicko"...and amazed at how well the "socialized" health care works in other countries...makes me sick to think how we get the lying BS here being pumped out by the heatlh care system to keep out nationalized health care and to keep sucking the people dry with awful HMO's and health insurance...drug companys etc etc..our politicians are so paid off by the people making money off the backs of the american public to keep our corupt health care system going.

I have not seen the e-mail.  They do the same thing in the hospitals in the USA, they treat you but they will pester you for the cash later.  If you don't have the means you have to prove that to them then they take most of the bill off the top.  What I do know about health care is it is a double edged sword.  If you take care of everybody it comes out of someones pocket.
