I'll tell you something ass - Canada has a socialized medical system. And the WAITING period for most severe conditions is longer than the lifespan of people with those conditions.

Unlike you, I pay my own medical insurance premium and have done so for over 20 years -- and I'm not talking about a nickel-and-dime Medigap or Advantage plan. I'm talking big premiums -- more than I paid for my son's annual tuition at University of Utah. Repealing ACA won't reduce the premiums for my type of coverage and, according to the CBO, it will drive them up by 40%. The market is clearly broken. -- Jay Beattie. |

And I have received no complaints or rising rates despite this last year costing them over $15,000. It is unlikely that I will have any medical bills for many years except for my 9 month inspection from my neurologist and the twice a year from my GP. |

No link to online information. Since you like anecdotes: My Canadian relative had to wait months for his wife's cancer treatment. He complained. But as it turned out, the doctors were right, the cure was complete, and it seems to have cost less than American treatment would have cost. Regarding Canada, Jay gave this: http://www.aarp.org/politics-society...alth-care.html There's also this: https://www.healthcare-now.org/blog/...c-health-care/ And this: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/11..._13057392.html But we have at least a couple Canadians posting here. We should let them speak, I guess. All of which has nothing to do with your previous claims of astronomical increases in food prices between 2006 and 2016. I posted data showing that was likely false. You've posted nothing but "memories," Tom. Can you _never_ find data to back your alleged memories? - Frank Krygowski |

I could tell about my Canadian relatives and their successful cancer treatments, but that anecdote wouldn't matter to Tom. Instead, I'm waiting for data on food prices for 2006 and 2016. Come on, Tom! It's your move! :-) You know, the last time I said that on a news group several people like you told me I was full of **** and several nurses from the northwest and several more from around Toronto said the same thing as I did and then a patient popped in with his experience which was a 12 month wait for a cancer that gave him a maximum lifespan of three months. And it was just a tumor sitting on his heart. So he came to the US and it was gone in one operation and a month of chemo. But you want something from a site that you'll believe. And that includes a site that proved to be almost 300% incorrect. But IT'S IN WRITING. Your age is really beginning to show. Good example! Another anecdote that you believe you remember. No link to online information. Since you like anecdotes: My Canadian relative had to wait months for his wife's cancer treatment. He complained. But as it turned out, the doctors were right, the cure was complete, and it seems to have cost less than American treatment would have cost. Regarding Canada, Jay gave this: http://www.aarp.org/politics-society...alth-care.html There's also this: https://www.healthcare-now.org/blog/...c-health-care/ And this: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2016/11..._13057392.html But we have at least a couple Canadians posting here. We should let them speak, I guess. All of which has nothing to do with your previous claims of astronomical increases in food prices between 2006 and 2016. I posted data showing that was likely false. You've posted nothing but "memories," Tom. Can you _never_ find data to back your alleged memories? Frank - you really are one of those women's private parts. https://www.usnews.com/news/best-cou...or-health-care http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/20...s-health-care/ Here is one of the far left wing sources that you prefer: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0db570d3778ff http://www.crainsdetroit.com/article...adian-patients All of this was readily available and if you didn't want to believe me you COULD have looked it up yourself. But instead you prefer being a F-ing asshole and pretending the world isn't like it is. |

One of the only articles claiming that this Canadian's heading to America is a myth. I guess we can see where the myths originate. |
