Well it was never really free to begin with but the original system might have worked much better before immigrants were all attached to it and received care without contributing anything. Aren't their clinics available to people?

Possibly in the bigger cities, but not that I know of. You go to emergency and sit and wait for as long as it takes. It's a horrible system that has gotten worse with age. You cannot find a primary doctor for the life of you. Again, it may be slightly better in the cities, but not by much. Every time I hear an American talking free healthcare I inform them real quick that is not what they want in the US.

I just paid $140.00 for emerg care and got the care and the pain meds I needed (post op pain). I understand that in Canada they do not charge for emerg but IMO, it would be better to charge something...even 10.00...than sitting around looking at other people or the ceiling. The saying is 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' but it broke :rolleyes: I have a very good health plan...that yeah I pay for...but it comes through for you when you need it. It's not free ;)

Right, there in lies the issue. Pay taxes that would gag a horse, but still no healthcare. Really doesn't seem fair.

Its not fair. How much tax money makes it into the canada healthcare system? DOGE has shown what most in the U.S. have known all along. Anyone ever notice how politicians become millionaires?

Of course, let me tell you, Nancy Pelosi has demonstrated a remarkable ability to pick winners. It is almost as though she knew ahead of time who the winners and losers would be (of course that is not the case as that would be illegal). Just makes you realize if she wasn't of such a generous spirit to devout her whole life to service she could have been the most gifted analyst working on Wall Street.

I know it is hard to see that when you look at her and listen to her, she sounds like a drunk, but trust me, the stock trades don't lie, she has been batting 1,000. If this were baseball she would be better than Joe Dimaggio and Ted Williams combined!

Do you mean ILLEGAL aliens? Immigrants contribute.

Nothing is perfect. But when the Government starts to get their dirty little hands in the mix.......Things go south and stay south.

At least with private enterprise...We can run them out of business, prosecute and start out fresh. Not so with big brother.
