I’ve not only changed doctors at will, I’ve chosen my own on advice of friends and acquaintances, and I’ve even dumped a couple because I didn’t like their attitude.
I did read you’re entire post. I have to wonder which province your friend married to a Canadian was referring to. Was it Quebec, which is Canada’s basket case province by any metric you may choose? Can’t take being corrected, I see.
As for how great socialism is, I wouldn’t know. I don’t live in a socialist country. Our doctors are in private practice. They are not employed by the state.
If I were you, I’d not rely on a grapevine for information.
You read my post after the fact, which you won’t admit.
It wasn’t Quebec, it was Ontario. Your guess is incorrect.
If you aren’t under socialism, try getting a private health care plan.
Our health care here is taking a dramatic turn for the worse, even as Obamacare is only being incrementally implemented (for political reasons) — our system will be worse than yours, which seems hard to believe. And too bad for you, since when you come down with a serious illness and are put on a waiting list for an MRI or a life-saving procedure you won’t be able to come here to get one, like so many Canadians do now, because our health care Nazis will have done away with that option for you too.
I’ll be sure to tell my friend that some a$$hat Canadian told me my friend’s father-in-law’s death through negligence was his fault.
“Canada’s provinces have their own sets of rules but none other than Quebec officially is allowed to offer private health care....British Columbia is looking to be next on that list.”
