[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 299466, member: 1514"] Thats kinda what I understand about the Canadian system Stang...it isnt all its cracked up to be. Things always sound good in theory...lol. We had a member here named Joybells and her husband. They were from Canada. Her husband fell and broke his leg and it took forever for him to get his leg taken care of and eventually he actually lost his leg because of that. I would bet he would have not had the long waits in the US and may not have lost the leg. We are talking years here. I am on Medicare/Medicaid and have had no problems with getting access to care. Well I take that back. My therapist really isnt covered but we have worked around that somehow. I am not sure how. Maybe some creative bookkeeping. Dont know, dont care...as long as I can see her...lol. Maybe somehow they can make a program to tap into the Medicare or Medicaid programs but with a buyin type deal for people who need insurance but cant get it through employers. Like with normal SSDI you pay 96 bucks out of your social security check for medicare. If you want a medicare part D or part B full coverage plan like you see on tv, you can call those companies to give you full coverage to cover the other 20% plus prescriptions. Im just thinking outloud...lol. Maybe I ought to go work for Congress! [/QUOTE]
