medicare for all isn't what you have. so there's that. And for the umpteenth thousand time, if you fkrs ever took the time to look shit up on the internet, you wouldn't look so fking stupid.That goes back to my earlier question: if we all had this Medicare for all, we would all want the best doctors and hospitals. Since that can't be done, who would make the decision on who goes where?
First come, first serve. You asked this question before. I can walk into any hospital in Ontario and ask to be served, and if I'm waiting for surgery and another hospital has openings, I can go to that hospital for the surgery. But I'm always going to pick a hospital near my home or family.
When I lived in Toronto, I had my choice of any hospital in the downtown core I wanted to go to. I always picked Toronto General because I liked it best. Turns out, it's the best hospital in Canada. Two out of the four top hospitals in Canada were the one's I chose to go to. In an ambulance, I was asked which hospital I wanted to go to, and was give three choices (the three closest), I chose Sunnbrook. It's No. 4 in Canada.
First come--first serve doesn't always work with people here. I don't want to have to take a number. I want to get treated by X in X facility when services are needed. Why is it out of all the elderly people I've spoken with from Canada, your experiences are the exact opposite?
So basically you're a whiny selfish prick. Yeah, you won't like everyone one being equal to you. Maybe that's your issue with Medicare now Ray.
My only issue with Medicare is the program is partly responsible for individual and group insurance being so expensive. Yes, I like the idea I can go where I want for care. I don't like the idea of government telling me where I can go, because like anything else, Democrats politicize everything.
No, americans do. I have Medicare, I do go where I want, and it's tons better than anything I've had through an employer for decades. You got issues man.
