Sometimes depending on how far out into Canada they are they have to YELL! It Far Far Away! :1rotfl:

About 22 years ago my mother and father were on a vacation in Canada and my dad had a heart attack. He got some great health care treatment with no questions asked, and he was not a Canadian resident. I don't know anything other than that first hand about how other health care systems work, but the experience my parents had in Canada during a time of crisis was overwhemingly positive.

NO, & you don't want it, either. my hubby from a socialist country is the 1st to warn of very poor healthcare when it's controlled by the government

my friend's daughter passed-away @ 19 waiting for treatment, she was canadian

Many years ago my husband became very ill in Brussels. At first he was in a very large “ward”with many patients. When they discovered he had US health insurance and was guaranteed payment he was moved to a private room. Yes he then recieved much better care.

I don’t understand why people cant just use your common sense! Do you REALLY want the US government controlling your healthcare. They have made a mess of everything they’ve ever been a part of!

I beg to differ!
 

I’m surprised you have not been chastised for your comment about real estate sales people getting 6% for doing NOTHING,

I was a real estate broker for over 30 years and it was some of the hardest work I’ve ever done! Until you’ve walked in their shoes, you wouldn’t understand!

My two cents worth
 

As to healthcare. We start out unwilling to face,to deal with the truth. Everyone gets sick and no one gets out alive.
I've read that 80% of healthcare money is spent on people who are terminally ill.
I've also read that in the US legal suits and avoiding or trying to avoid same adds 40% to the cost. Two recent examples Johnson and Johnson sued for baby powder. I'm sure not one person suing can prove they only used Johnson and Johnson for that matter far as I know the women involved were no using baby powder on a baby. The other current cases. Opioid abuse. Company found guilty. User responsibility?
When Bill Clinton was president I recall telling my dad the elephant in the room is how they will pay for it. Without that information is is simply an empty promise to get votes.
At the time I had a German friend and asked him how it works in Germany. As to how it works he told me that people who can afford it buy private insurance to get better care. We refuse to embrace that.
I also asked him about a limit on what Germany will spend.
At that time they had discovered drugs to keep aids patients alive and the cost was several hundred thousand per year.
He told me that there are wards of people in Germany who are by our definition brain dead. They are kept alive by machines at government expense.
In the US euthanasia is at best difficult to get permission for.
Fact is that we kill cancer patients with over doses of pain killers
and others are allowed to die by withholding water and food.

In the end there are no perfect easy answers.
