"Canadians defend health care system; They call service flawed but good" by Charmaine Noronha, Associated Press | August 30, 2009
TORONTO - From screaming babies to frail seniors, Canadian-born or recent immigrants, the patients flow continuously through the waiting room of Dr. Kamini Kambli’s clinic. Most have made their appointments that day. None will receive a bill.
The receptionist swipes their ID to verify their eligibility as Ontario residents for coverage under Canada’s universal health care system. Kambli’s family medical practice will be reimbursed by the government.
Canada’s system is called Medicare, and is much like Medicare in the United States for over-65-year-olds, except that this one treats virtually the entire Canadian population of 33 million.
“It’s one of the best systems in the world. Everyone is guaranteed health care and it does not matter if you’re rich or poor or what your medical condition is,’’ said Kambli, who used to practice medicine in her native India.
To be sure, Canadians have their complaints....
But....What the article doesn't say is THEY WOULD NOT TRADE THEIR SYSTEM for YOURS, American -- EVER!!!!!!!
BUT does the PAPER elaborate on that?
NO!
It is its usual agenda-pushing self.
--more--"
Of course, I don't trust the health insurance industrial complex, either:
Glaxo's Ghostwriters
And why is there always a STILL, BUT, COULD BE, IF, MAYBE, YET, and ALL THOSE OTHER COLORFUL QUALIFIERS in DARN NEAR EVERY NEWSPAPER ARTICLE, huh?
