Why do rich Canadians say the healthcare is bad in Canada?

[ScorpioRising007]

It seems the Canadians I have come across in the US who blast Canadian healthcare are financially well off....upper Middle class or rich. I don't seem to hear that coming from poor , middle class and lower middle class canadians.

One such example is I know a rich Canadian couple who are dual citizens who prefers to use American healthcare. They have 2 different homes, can afford to send kids to Ivy League colleges, have millions in their retirement portfolio, and they retired from jobs that paid 6 figures.

They blast the Canadian Healthcare system and say they rather pay lots of money for faster service. This is a luxury rich can afford to do though and not many middle class, lower middle class and poor can do.

Thoughts?

Well if you are wealthy you want service as fast as possible, especially if a battery of tests are required. Private clinics are quite limited in Ontario and focused on specific issues, in the U.S they can have their health taken care of today. That probably isn't true even for private clinics here though I wouldn't know for certain.

I love having control of my own healthcare.
**** the govt and **** socialist policies of redistribution and equal misery.

After a serious illness or injury and having no medical bills is worth waiting for non serious treatment

Many Americans do the same thing
Medical Tourism

Used to be when you crossed the Mexican borders there were all kinds of shops selling trinkets, blankets, cheap booze.
Now it is row after row of Pharmacias selling low cost prescription drugs

People also travel abroad for low cost medical treatment including dental work or cosmetic procedures

In America, the more money you have the better your healthcare is. It must be in Canada, you get the same healthcare no matter how much you make.

So the rich in Canada want Canada to be like America. Unfair. I think Canada has it right. Healthcare should be a RIGHT. I know, socialism. But even Trump admits that some socialism is good. It's funny how different Republicans are today. They wanted government to stay out of corporate America's business. Today Republicans are buying into companies like Intel.

Intel Corporation today announced an agreement with the Trump Administration to support the continued expansion of American technology and manufacturing leadership. Under terms of the agreement, the United States government will make an $8.9 billion investment in Intel common stock, reflecting the confidence the Administration has in Intel to advance key national priorities and the critically important role the company plays in expanding the domestic semiconductor industry.

The government’s equity stake will be funded by the remaining $5.7 billion in grants previously awarded, but not yet paid, to Intel under the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act and $3.2 billion awarded to the company as part of the Secure Enclave program. Intel will continue to deliver on its Secure Enclave obligations and reaffirmed its commitment to delivering trusted and secure semiconductors to the U.S. Department of Defense. The $8.9 billion investment is in addition to the $2.2 billion in CHIPS grants Intel has received to date, making for a total investment of $11.1 billion.

Why is this under "HOBBIES"????

You think healthcare is a hobby for some reason?

I've got friends in Manitoba and they've told me all about Canadian DEATHCARE.
Since that Arab puppet Truderp turned it into a Nazi killing machine, it's been literal HELL for anybody to get any kind of health or doctor care.

If you are "terminally sick", Canadian Deathcare is there for you. To make sure you are TURNED AWAY FROM ALL HEALTHCARE AND DOCTORS OFFICES. If you are on lifelong medications........same deal. If you are elderly and need personal assistance or home care.........TOUGH SHIT SHERLOCK! DIE, DIE, DIE.......so sayeth the Canadian Deathcare.

When Trudirt turned their entire health administration into the Nazi Doom Patrol, almost HALF of the legitimate doctors in Canada MOVED TO OTHER COUNTRIES.

This is what happened where my friends live. They lost ALL of their doctors, because they just all up and moved ......literally overnight. They didn't have any doctors of any kind, not even in the hospital. THEY ALL LEFT!!!!

My friend couldn't even get his meds refilled, because he needed a doctors permission to continue getting them.
And since it was almost 6 months before ANY doctor came to help out there.......he still couldn't get an appointment, as the only 3 doctors they had that came to help were taking care of patients in the hospital. This was two years ago now.

He still isn't able to get a doctors appointment. What doctors they do have, take care of patients in the hospital first.......and everybody else is on a waiting list thats YEARS long!!!!

I was trying to post it in Canadian forum and somehow it accidently went here instead.

Interesting side of the story.

How wealthy were your friends in Manitoba? Upper middle class? Financially well off?

I heard yesterday Quebec wants to secede from Canada and join America? I can't find anything that says they want to become a part of America. That's what my nephew told me. He said they are pissed Canada sent too many Indians to their city. Forced them on them. Reminds me of Somalians in Minnesota. And I've actually seen how Toronto has become little China.

Approximately 1.86 million people in Canada are of Indian origin or ancestry, representing about 5.1% of the total Canadian population according to the 2021 Census data. They form one of the fastest-growing visible minority groups in the country, with large communities primarily located in the metropolitan areas of Toronto and Vancouver.

We have a history of blaming vulnerable minorities for longstanding problems. Stop with the misleading narratives and put some protections in place.

I feel like my nephew is listening to racist right wing groups. He said something about indians not wanting to assimilate. Not true at all. And the little pricks grandparants, even his own MOTHER is a ******* immigrant.

Quebec has been threatening to secede for the last 100 years
It’s that damned French stuff

I know. But notice how my MAGA nephew puts his racist right wing spin on it? Now he says it's because Canada forced so many Indians on them. It looks like Mumbi he said. Reminds me of what Republicans here in America say about Minnesota and the Somalians that were sent there.

Is it wrong to send Indian or Somalian immigrants all to the same city? I think the politicians in that city need to explain to the residents why they are taking in so many new people. Is unemployment low? Do they need the workers?

But I suspect this is just MAGA propaganda he's spewing. I couldn't find anything on the internet so I'm assuming he's using conservapedia or some alterative facts site I don't take seriously like Breitbart.
