You've not heard of people in Canada having to go to the US because they've been caught up in the beauracracy? I've heard it takes 6 months on average to get an MRI in Canada.


yes, things like this are a problem. but MRIs are used in special circumstances, one of the problems of canadian health care at the moment is that since it is free, you get alot more people to the limited number of MRI machines. so its first come first serve, in the US since there are so many healthcare clinics you do not have as high a demand because of the price of getting an MRI. so in the US the service goes to those with money or insurance, in canada is goes to those that need it in the order they ask. the same is the case with transplants and so on, it is an inherited problem with public health care. hopefully the government of canada will losin the grip it has on private healthcare, if it does this you'll get more people using the private services cuase those with money will not want to wait, but then you you'll get doctors opening up there own clinics everywhere, so there needs to bea careful balance. its complicated.


ok so i understand what your saying, your talkign about unions, personally i greatly dislike unions because PEOPLE are greedy. but still jedi even with your arguement the fault doesnt go to the workers over seas nor to the corperations, it goes to the greedy people that believe they should get more money then there jobs worth. it goes to the unions. it is often said the we will wieve they threads of our own undoing, the people that work in unions and abuse the system fall under that. In BC our province has suffered greatly at the hands of unions. can you beleive this, there is a shortage of nurses right now in the province, and so you get the nurses unions taking advangate of that, under the last provincal government we had, the union went on strike numerious times. and now there are nurses who can get paid up to $40 an hour. that means if this nurse works full time they are getting 83 000 a year. that would put them in the highest tax bracket for what a job that takes 2 years of university education. its a discrace. fortunately the new provincal government has gotten things back in hand.
