Highest Gas Prices in North America
I have a buddy who's originally from Nova Scotia and he told me that government medical is a joke. The extra taxes and duties are not worth the **** medical care you get from government insurance.
As an unfortunate heavy user of our medical system and a sick daughter I can say, with all honesty, that that is a very misinformed opinion. And he sounds like an idiot. We (my family) would be bankrupt if it wasn't for this "joke" of a system.
We have one of the best children's hospitals in the world... not sure if the staff considered their work a "joke".
We raced MX for 5 years...we sent money to organizations in the USA like RiderDown because one accident can bankrupt a family. Not one Canadian MX family that I knew of was ever charged money when they went to emerg.
I have watched on this board the number of folks that have to sell their stuff due to illness or an operation. That does not happen with our "joke" medical system.
The funny thing is, the Canadian folks that **** on out medical system really want it bad when they become sick.... as well as bleat about an "extra" charge like copying documents ..
A bunch of years ago, my dad was taken into emerg in Florida. The staff would not let him in until he passed over his gold card. I have seen documentaries where American hospitals dump patients because their money ran out. I can go on but I won't.
The system is not perfect but it isn't a joke....
