Default Re: NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE
I don't know about National Health Insurance.
I currently work at a Detroit area hospital and there is an influx of ill Canadians who are coming here for tests and treatments that they are waiting for in Canada.
From what I am hearing there is a long waiting list for MRI exams because of the lack of scanners in Ontario.
Everything is based on need, so if you suspect cancer and have no symptoms you might have to wait for your exam. "Emergencies" come first, so plenty of patients are coming across the border and paying $$ for scans to "stage suspected cancers". That sounds like a system that isn't working to me.
