Lol at USA

[brownbrown]

You know for the U.S being a superpower of the world and ranking 37th place, that's really not all that great... Canada was put in 30th which is still 7 countries ahead
World Health Organization’s Ranking of the World’s Health Systems | thepatientfactor.com

GOOD POINT....... numbers dont lie... fact is fact....

United kingdom, Frenchies, Germans, ect all rank much higher than the good ol' US of A....

On a similar note, did you know the average elephant weighs more than the average cow?

lol...that's a little harsh...canada actually has a pretty good health care system, as far as the docs and surgeons are concerned...there are certain procedures that i'm aware of that people go from the u.s. to canada for, because the docs are specialists in these areas...hernia surgery used to be a big one that people crossed the border for.

nimbus is right. I know a Canadian OR nurse who now practices in the US, who could tell you plenty of stories about people having to wait ungodly amounts of time for procedures.

People don't cross the border because of a doctor. They cross the border because they can get their shit done NOW, and Canada will still pay the bill.

A podiatrist I know has a brother with a clinic in Vancouver BC. His patients had to wait for-frickin-evar to get simple shit done. He opened an office just over the border in WA state. He makes appointments for his pt's to get whatever they need done and they go over the border and get it done in days as opposed to months or years. Canada pays the bill.

No nothing was really wrong with her. They did tests and couldnt find anything, but I guess it would be more of an LOL on the insurance companies now that I think about it. But I would still rather pay in taxes, then have to find an insurance company only to get raped like most people there.

Like plunkey said, here a poor person with no insurance goes into the hospital, comes out with a $40,000 bill and pays nothing. The hospital over charges on everything they do to try to cover the people like this. Those who have insurance pay a small portion of their bill, be it copays or a percentage. Insurance picks up the rest...though only what they will pay, not necessarily what the hospital charges.

Who got raped?
