#41517, "RE: Government controlled health care" In response to In response to 6
Originally posted by Hedge Just to let you know, in Canada you do choose you own doctor, and can for the most part choose your own hospital. There are privite health clinics where you can go and pay for health care yourself and get treatment right away if you like, althought if you need sergery asap, then you will get it right away at a government run hospital. The wait times are not as bad as most people think. ive broken arms and had a cast on in a few hours, without any money out of my own pocket.
What if you are 80, need cancer treatment, but otherwise you are in excellent health?
