To everyone and anyone all aspects of it I want it from the horses mouth so to speak. The good, the bad and the ugly. Is it really free? Do you die waiting for surgery? Can you see your private doctor? Do you wait in lines for hours before you get treatment? Would you come to America and use our health care instead of using what is offered in your country? Please I really want to know what reality is.
Thank you

    Wow Jaceb is getting ripped off if he was paying 60% in taxes since the top tax rate in Canada is 29%.
    My answers:
    No it’s not free, it comes out of my taxes.
    No you do not die waiting for surgery. If it is life threatening you get it immediately.
    I see my doctor that i picked out and I can get in within days to see her.
    No you do not wait in line for hours for treatment. The last 2 times I was to the ER I was out in under an hour.
    No I would never go to America for health care. Our system is just fine.
    This is the reality.

    I now am living in US. The company I work for has large plants in US, Canada, Germany, and Italia. I spent years living and working in Calgary, Canada and Stuttgart, Germany. It is very nice to go to doctors office for no charge, but this is changing. They are increasing fees because the systems are going broke. The hospitals are not much different than US really. The worst thing is taxes. As much as 60 percent or more of your wages go to taxes of some form or another. There is now changes occurring, as US goes more social on health care, most of europe is doing the opposite, raising fees for services because they are facing financial problems supporting the systems.

    My sister comes down from Canada twice a year. She gets shots for her allergies in US, because apparently that is not approved where she is. She also has a “cancer screening” done once a year. She hasnt said exactly what, but my guess is mammogram since high incidence of that kind of cancer in family. She pays for this stuff in cash.
