We spend less per capita, have better health outcomes and no one's turned away for not being able to pay. What's wrong with that?Lene Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11223128667829847717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754773372316501693.post-19833468667924599612009-07-27T19:15:26.272-07:002009-07-27T19:15:26.272-07:00Anne Your idea is very sensible I'm not saying...Anne Your idea is very sensible I'm not saying we have the perfect system, but it has been there for me when I needed it.Taxingwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564125285937262315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754773372316501693.post-11740569292850914292009-07-27T19:14:34.956-07:002009-07-27T19:14:34.956-07:00Diane I love those Grrrr and AARRGH'sDiane I love those Grrrr and AARRGH'sTaxingwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564125285937262315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754773372316501693.post-23789195094954258492009-07-27T00:50:39.329-07:002009-07-27T00:50:39.329-07:00I think if Americans knew more about how the Canad...I think if Americans knew more about how the Canadian system works and what it provides, they could make more intelligent decisions -- especially at election time.<br /><br />So many politicians cite Canadian healthcare as an example and then do not elaborate on what it provides. They only go so far as to make it sound scary. Then the politician comes up for re-election and because Americans remember the scare tactic, they vote for him thinking he has their best interests at heart.<br /><br />I admit I do not know all there is to know about how the Canadian health system works.<br /><br />But I do not hear the horror stories that I hear in the USA with our system.<br /><br />So maybe if our government laid out all the cards on the table - and put it in a column by column table - we just may be able to understand it and make informed decisions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8754773372316501693.post-7008766667903099972009-07-26T08:18:45.487-07:002009-07-26T08:18:45.487-07:00I am linking to this post Monday!
