Tired of the lies about Canadian health care.

No, its not perfect but no system is.

There is NOT a waiting line.

Its extremely rare to ever spend 4 hours in emergency. In 33 years, it did happen to me but only once. That was because there was a three car pileup on one of the highways and the doctors were needed to perform emergency life saving care right that second. I just had a sprained ankle. I was fine with waiting for them to save three peoples lives even if I did have to hurt alot longer than they did. I wasn't the one dying.

Yes, some people go to the US for treatment. If the problem is rare, or elective. Because you bloody Americans pay so much, we're losing doctor's to you for these circumstances because they'll make more money. Its something called "greed". Canadians feel it too, you know.

The most I've ever had to wait for a general checkup by an actual doctor (not a nurse practitioner) is one week. And that was because I just wanted to so it fit my schedule.

I'm so tired of the lies about Canadian health care that Americans tell themselves so they feel better about their own terrible health program. None of it is true.

Recently there was a video of a woman in a hospital. She was wearing a hospital gown. She fell down in the ER, face down. Security walked in, looked at her and walked out. Nurses walked in, looked at her, and walked out. Six hours she lay like that and not a one of them helped her despite the fact that they all saw her. Not even any of the patients helped her.

This happened in New York. And its not the first time I've seen that come from the US.

I've never ever seen that in Canada. Not once.

Stop being so selfish and self centered.

Enough is enough. Health care in the US needs to change. Period. There is no "ifs" "ands" or "buts". There is no "people are just selfish to want to not have to pay thousands of dollars so they don't die".

It has to stop.

Health is not a privelege. Health is not a business. Health is a human right whether some selfish people in the United States want to think it is or not.
