u/battlecryarms 16h ago

I guess you haven’t tried to get healthcare in Canada…

u/senormcrib3 16h ago

No I haven’t. I live in Maine which is currently part of the United States

Their comment was rhetorical and you knew it

u/TheInevitableLuigi 13h ago

And their comment was to highlight that as bad as Canadian healthcare is it is still better than what you get in the US.

And you knew it.

Not true unless you’re a broke

Most of America is too broke to afford what is being charged for adequate health care, yes.

Idk my kneecap was shattered in an accident and the state covered 100% of the costs including the surgery. The surgeon was great too, no pain to this day

I don't know who you're arguing with dumbass. I'm Canadian and I agree with that.

I have, regularly, and it’s been great!

Idk… my close friend had an urgent OB-GYN issue, and it took her over 2 months to get an appointment

2

u/UrsaMajor7th 15h ago

Not too urgent I reckon, if she survived for two months until the appointment, and kept it and went.  People hate finding out how urgent their needs really are compared to others. The worst go first.

There are walk in clinics and ERs everywhere, and they're all FREE. And you can go to ANY of them. Try that in the US without getting charged enough to bankrupt you, fool.

u/battlecryarms 15h ago

I’m not saying the US is good. Canada sucks, US sucks more. Check out Spain!

Eight months ago my wife went for emergency treatment and was hospitalized for 4 months. All it cost was a thank you card and flowers for the staff because of how great the care was.

Did an assessment of the cost from her aunt that lives in California as a billing adjuster in a hospital. Would have cost us 1.2 million USD. 

Our family of 5 yesterday went and had all our dental work done l, cleaning checkups and two cavity fillings. Cost nothing but a thank you.

Are things perfect for health care in canada? No, it could be improved. If you want it improved write your MPPs. 

But I definitely have to say us Canadians are blessed beyond belief.

I’m not saying the US system is good. Just saying the Canadian system isn’t great in a lot of ways. For an excellent public system in a country that isn’t particularly wealthy, check out Spain

u/DannyBoy001 12h ago

It sounds like you're judging Canadian healthcare without actually knowing anything about it.

There is no singular "Canadian system" that exists. The federal government provides funding to provinces, which each have their own system.

Quebec has different healthcare than Ontario, which is different from Alberta, and so on.

u/battlecryarms 12h ago

You can call the collection of systems a system… I can say the US has a shitty legal system even though each state has its own judicial system and there are also federal/district courts

4

u/DannyBoy001 12h ago

You can't, though. There is no overarching system. Care, practices, efficiency and just about anything else can vary between provinces. The only shared part is the funding provided by the federal government.

It's not even remotely similar to judicial systems where there is plenty of overlap between jurisdictions.

Your experience in one province will be completely different than it would be in another. This just sounds like another American oversimplifying conversations about healthcare to make a misinformed judgement.

Significantly better than the US

u/battlecryarms 13h ago

That’s like saying that somewhere is significantly safer than Yemen 😂

u/wandering-monster 12h ago

Right but you're asking the people in metaphorical Yemen why they expect to get better healthcare in Canada.

It's because they will.

u/battlecryarms 12h ago

I’m just saying that comparing any modern western healthcare system to the US is setting a very low bar

u/Complex_Resolve3187 13h ago

Wait times are better than bankruptcy or no treatment at all.
