[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 496805, member: 11791"] TeDo... Canada is public health care. Its... still about dollars, unfortunately. The distribution is more "fair"... everybody has the same insurance. Anybody can show up at ER with a heart attack, and gets the same care (at least in theory...). But... 2 year waits for knee surgery (they are working on shortening...), specialists the US takes for granted are not available here or not available for the broad range of services (neuropsychologist). Someone's daughter on the board needed to see a PCP and it was going to be $100 or so... for us? free. Reg PCP, or walk-in clinic... no diff. In a public system, too much goes to "management" - salaries and such - whereas in a private system, those funds go to "profit"... Its just a different set of problems. No big win anywhere - pluses and minuses, not enough reason to move somewhere else. [/QUOTE]
