Don’t listen to this asshat.

I’m from Canada too. Moved down to the US in 1995.
I’ve got a far different view.
My sister, who has Cerebral Palsy, can walk, but her left angle has begun turning inwards, making it so she is walking on her ankle.
She has been waiting 18 months to see a specialist. No appointment yet.

After routine surgery, my mother developed complications, and as a tragic complication was left with minimal brain activity.
No death panels - the on duty staff decided her fate.
First, they cut off her feeding tube.
Then, they cut off her water.
Then, they cut off her oxygen.
When I demanded to know why, the on duty nurse stated, “we need the bed”.

Canada’s health care is great if you need to fix a broken arm, or get a cut stitched up.

But for anything serious, you’re screwed.

What good is “free” healthcare if you die?

I got my hand stitched-up at one of these MedExpress clinics for $225.00. And it healed-up beautifully. Is $225 really worth all the hassles?
