I posted about this is the Money Sense thread. This is bad news for Europe.



The German economy is similar to Japan's. It is heavily dependent on exports. Because it is an aged society it has weak domestic demand and people tend to save, not spend. In other words, the opposite of the Canadian economy. If exports slide in Germany or Japan they cannot expect consumers to save the economy.

I read Germany is running budgetary surpluses. How does an old country do that?

They don't need new schools, roads, and other infrastructure.

More people collecting pensions. I would say health care too, but a lot of Germans have private coverage.

It will be all but impossible for provinces not to run budget deficits in the future if we don't reform health care soon.

A hell of a lot of people agree with you.

Speaking of Canadian health care, I know a retired railroader who just got a big bill for the ambulance that came to his house when he had a heart attack.

We have health insurance that is being paid by the taxpayers..



It pretty much covers everything..





But... The hospital system itself is inefficient, unprofessional... As you would expect from a public sector establishment.





There are good nurses and doctors but a big portion of them are just barely able and would have been fired a long time ago if they were working in a private hospital.

Our health care system is paid for by the taxpayer too. But, there's still a lot it doesn't cover. And our health care system is unsustainable, so more services are being delisted(not covered).
