"Free" health care!
| Thu, 07-22-2004 - 7:15pm |
I wonder how many of you have had to live without health insurance? You say that health care is not a right? NO WONDER! You have always had a place for the bills to go other then your mailbox! How many of you have ever asked what the actual cost of your prescriptions are? Do the math! Do you have any idea what it is like to call around from doctor to doctor trying to find one who would see you WITHOUT insurance? Have you ever stood at your doctor office and humbly asked for samples instead of a prescription because u know that your $360 check wont stretch enough to cover your $280 med bill AND the doctor appt. Don't even mention medicaid! If you make enough money to buy food and scrape by...you do not qualify.

Maybe there is a slightly different attitude here than there is in the US towards health I don't know. Perhaps that is the driving force behind our support of the healthcare system in Canada....but that might just be a symptom of our general attitude overall and a lifestyle thay MAY contribute to overall better health. though, as the article suggests, Candians seem to smoke and drink with "gusto" (speak for yourself article LOL!).
One thing that I noted in it was this:

This probably refers to another article that was posted in this thread earlier.
