One the first pic, from Doctors to the end, it's just what we have here in Canada and in Province of Québec as I had and still have all of those and NEVER had to pay one penny.
ReplyDeleteWe maybe no more into any Christian religious beliefs but we care for each other as a collective society. I think this is more in phase with Jesus gospel than any other «toughts and prayers» after a mass shooting.
So True 👍
ReplyDeleteJiEl is right but I really want Americans to understand that this is NOT FREE!
ReplyDeleteHealthcare is not free. It is very expensive. It has costs, and those costs are paid by the taxpayers. The government becomes the insurer. And thus, the insurer negotiates the prices.
I'm all for it. But dig this: when I lived in Canada (dual), I earned US wages, and paid US taxes on those wages. I also paid Canadian taxes (minus US tax). Would you pay about $9,000 more in taxes to ensure that your fellow citizens have healthcare?
I would.
LeftField - I would too.
ReplyDelete@LeftField,
ReplyDeleteSure we pay that money including both provincial and federal income taxes but we benefit of more than only our health care system.
We also have here in Province of Québec a medicare universal system, a rovincial car insurance system too not mentionning many benefits for leave parenthood for both women and men, parents can count on children allowances like $6 000 per year for two children
etc....
we can add some deductables when we put money in our private retirement regime which is the same when we do pay for our federal and provincial retirement plans.
Yws we pay more in income taxes but we have not to pay for any health care services.
I have a gay couple in Delaware who pays lot of money for their «private medicare» but they have limits, not able to choose any dortor or when the limit of their prescriptions fees is done, they have to pay huge money for their meds...
Here in Canada, it's well known in USA,we pay less for our meds because our governement did negociate with the big pharma companies to limit the prices of the meds....
I would like to live in USA and be hostage of all those private insurances companies and pay more for my meds...
I now pay for my own US health insurance. Next year the premium is $580 per month. I'll pay everything up to $9,450!
ReplyDeleteNOW THAT'S FREEDOM!
(Embrace sarcasm)
Well I prefer my freedom here in Canada than the one you have in USA.
ReplyDeleteFor me there are no limits if I get sick, need any hospitalisation and will never have to declare bankcrupcy for high medical fees.
BTW, when I see all those commercials on USA's TV channels for this or that medicare and also the adds of the «St Jude for children hospital» for free health care I see how some have to rely on those because they aren't wealthy enough to pay for your «freedom» private health care company.
One of my aunt being in Florida for winter times, did have a health issue that needed here to go to an emegency down there. She had a private insurance but when the hospital did «sucked» her insurance $30 000 for 4 days in the hospital, they got her out.
Luckily, she could get back here in Montreal to get more care which did cost here $0..
Thank God I live in a country that take care of ALL its citizens.
oui, mais "Liberté"...
ReplyDeleteVous savez ce qu'est le sarcasme, n'est-ce pas ?
Les Américains n'ont peut-être pas d'assurance maladie, ils doivent peut-être collecter des capsules de bouteilles pour assurer la dialyse d'un enfant, mais ils ont surtout beaucoup de sarcasme. Je pensais que les Canadiens aussi en souffraient.
Le Canada me manque profondément. (and that is the truth)
