Quote from: formosan on December 11, 2023, 03:27:00 PMWe have the Canada Health Act which sets guidelines for how health care is delivered in Canada..

Ottawa gives back some of the taxes it takes from provinces to pay for it, but the provinces pay for most of it out of their own budgets..

My province is the fastest growing through both internal migration and immigration..

In recent years our provincial government has drastically increased our health care budget, but there never seems to be enough emergency beds and wait times for necessary procedures are still too long..

Taiwan spends less than we do and has better results.......I don't know what Canada is doing wrong.

I went to a healthcare drop in clinic once and all one worker did was sweep the floor all afternoon. I waited 3 hours to see someone, which was absolutely useless in the end as I could've seen the neighborhood pharmicist for 5 min to get an answer. and I just saw one person acting as a glorified janitor. I watched for all that time, and all she did was sweep the floor with a broom. She's probably getting $30 to $40 an hour to sweep the floor. and she didn't do anything else. So her wage is likely costing the taxpayer $100 per hour plus benefits, etc whatever she receives.

yes, that is an example of waste that needs to be addressed.

AIDS killed a lot more people that COIVD I think

And at least in the States and Canada they were mostly gay.

Quote from: JOE on December 11, 2023, 03:23:12 PMhealth care system is pretty good where I live...Lokmeer!

Plus it's free!

However, I agree that there are wide disparities in the level of healthcare from region to region. Like the States, the poor ones lack or don't get a family doctor. Lower quality care, etc etc.

I think Dove posted a YT video about Nova Scotia, one of the poorer regions/provinces in Canada where the people there dont have very good quality healthcare. But if a person is in a more prosperous region, they get better healthcare.

One thing that weighs the system down are too many fucking freeloaders. ie - bums who come off the street and use it as their own personl daycare centre. I def think that free loaders or repeat/heavy users of the system who use it unecessarily should pay for extra visits. I think in the US, they do this right? and your system is largely fee payer and private. I believe even Obamacare places limits on the amount of times a patient can access they healthcare system. one major step/improvement is the system needs to be rationed in order to save it. the bums who abuse it need to be told that the state is not their babysitter.

You know what I would do for the street bums who come in every night flooding our hospitals, is bar them from entering, and instead put them in makeshift trailers where they could  get visited by a paramedic. But not a doctor. It's hard to believe that we put our best physicians caring for a bunch of undeserving bums like that. Physicians in emergency rooms should only be deployed for those truly in need.

Our hosptials ought not be drunk tanks or overnight detox centers

Fuck those people.

Socialized medicine can only work if people stay healthy and don't overburden the system. The system doesn't work if too many people freeload or abuse it.

I think people who abuse the system, should be relegated to 2nd or 3rd tier. That way the people who really need it get the help first.

No, its shit. You cant lie to me, josephine. See, I worked for a big RV Dealership that had on-site camping and we hosted your fellow citizens every year. They all had the same thing to say about your shitty health care...ITS SHIT!, and the wait times are abysmal. The wait for simple things like an MRI is criminal in Canduhduh. People with cancer have to wait 6 months or more for procedures! One retired couple in particular, always came several times per year. I suspect that one of them were getting treatment for something...I didnt pry. I got along with them well and the woman would fix us the best cinnamon buns I've ever had. Anyway, they warned us that if we ever did the shit Canduhduh did, we'd be screwed. Viola! Along came O'Nigger Care!
