Only we have universal health care and the parasitic insurance companies are eradicated then will we have true health care, not based on profit.


Disillusioned with the U.S. healthcare system, Dr. Emily Queenan moved from Rochester, N.Y. to join a medical practice in Penetanguishene, Ontario this fall. Now she’s sharing her observations on the Canadian medicare system, where she says it’s easier to get patients in for follow-up visits but harder for them to see a specialist.

Queenan, in general practice, said she found her patients in the U.S. system would often pay thousands of dollars out of pocket because private insurance never covers the whole bill. “I would see people go without care because of they were afraid of the costs,” she said.

Dr. Queenan and her staff in Rochester were spending more and more time trying to get reimbursed at the expense of hands-on care.

Meh, a doctor who was disillusioned with healthcare in the U.S., goes to Canada to work. Does anyone think she's going to say: "Gosh! I screwed up! It's better in the U.S.!"? No she isn't.

As a medical professional for 33 years, I have taken care of more than my share of Canadians. They come here for their healthcare for a reason.

dear 100% stupid liberal. without profit nobody would invest in health care and there would be no incentive to improve quality to improve profits.

Now even a stupid stupid liberal can understand why Red China switched to capitalism!!

Because it's cheaper than flying to Singapore?

cheaper is capitalism wherein prices would be slashed 80% and our life expectancies increased10-20 years

Perhaps. I'm sure Singapore is better too.

The thing they mostly complain about is wait times. They come here to get treated before things get worse or they die.

Health care should not be a 'for profit' industry.

dear stupid liberal, without profit no one would invest and there would be no incentive to improve quality to improve profits profit is why we succeeded and why Red China failed. Do you lack the IQ to understand?t
 

You're the only western country that has this massive issue with regard to health care. The rest of us are reasonably happy with what we have. That being said, the only problem we do have is the insurance companies trying to push our health care system more towards the US system pre Obamacare. An awful, awful, awful system. The worst in the western world. People who work in it are fantastic. The system itself? Sux..

More garbage.

The only reason it's an issue at all is because the left made it one. We were all happy with the system we had except the homeless and unemployed. But they could get healthcare whenever they wanted it. Every city has at least one hospital takes and has taken indigent care. Mine is one of them.

Our system was not only NOT awful, it was the greatest on the planet. It still is mostly.

I am so sad to hear that I get care from the worst system in the western world. When I compare notes with others from abroad, they think it's pretty good.

How depressing.

you mean Alexander Fleming would not have discovered penicillin without investment? Is that what you're saying? Really? How about comparing to Canada, UK, France, Germany, Australian, NZ....

Really? What is your monthly premium?

dear stupid liberal, I'm sure some discoveries would be made under socialism but very very few which of course is why Red China and East Germany invented no new drugs. How stupid can you be?? Communist China failed slowly starving 60 million to death and a total idiot libturd like you comes along wanting to bring the system here.

Its a Nazi like level of pure ignorance
