TZ at Heart Of Canada, on Canada’s health care safety seive;
For example, in some Canadian provinces, if you don’t pay health premiums, you don’t get health care. In other provinces, you don’t have to pay health premiums, but you still don’t get health care, well, unless you travel a few hundred miles first. Provincial health insurance cards are not always honoured in other provinces’ health care facilities, where only cash produces results. Ah, Canada.
In the United States, I always got health care, and some of it was free. My physicians sent me thank you notes and had welcoming open houses once per year for their patients. You see, experience can tell a very different story. I now wonder, if I were living in the USA today, would I have had the insurance necessary to cover my present needs, and, based on past experience, I would say, probably, yes.
The real problems arise when you actually have to access the Canadian system for surgery.
