hmm... i hope you are right. this might change my opinion somewhat. i've never heard of such a quick response from gov't health care, not even from canadians i've talked to.

I had 2 hernias growing up, the ACTUAL hernia in the ball not the stomach that most people get, I was in surgery within a month.

The thing you need to take into consideration..that even most canadians don't, is that the order you are recieved in health care is variant on how bad you ACTUALLY are, not perceived to be. I was in a local ER once with my uncle, and people were there with literally everything from a minor sickness to broken bones etc. and yes some of them were waiting for 13+ hours, because they're not deathly ill and they can wait. I will agree there are huge wait times on things like MRI's because theres not many machines period, but for the rest of the scans.. theres radiology clinics all over town you can go to.

Meh Govt. Health care is lawld at so much waiting and hell even now with the blue cross blue shield thing we have around here or Medicade and medicare there both govnt. and you still wait even in the ER for 4+ hrs sick or not sick ran over or not ran over (friends kid got hit by a truck, was in hospital for 2 days discharged then that night he couldnt walk when he was doing just fine in the hospital eariler that day.) He was taken to the ER and they made them wait for 4hrs and still wouldnt see them. Govnt. Healthcare doesnt work imo :) just get real insurance and be good

Any doctor who charges for service is breaking the very Hippocratic Oath he swore to uphold.

And none of us are any better because we charge for our services so he has to charge for his.

I agree with that, don't beleve the hype of whole waiting line scheme that most people beleve. I bet if you as someone like Fishkilla knowing his dirty ass probly has to go to the NHS hospitals every F*CKING week cause he's a dirty whore...♥

Also since I lived in Germany and was a Government civilian dependent they send us to German Doctors (though sure I'll give you the little fact that I was unsure if it was a public or private practice) and the service seemed quick and very high quality.

this is true. there are still some (very few) who will do service for free or at an extreme discount to people in need. one of my friends was in the process (8 month process)of getting a new tooth put in (he lost one fighting MMA) when he lost his job. his dentist finished the everything at no charge. it's just too bad this kind of shit doesn't happen more often.

I THOUGHT THIS THREAD WAS ABOUT COACH BEING AN OLD HOMOSEXUAL AND ALMOST GETTING BALL CANCER NOT ABOUT HEALTH CARE. KEEP THE DEBATE TO BIASED AMERICAN MEDIA AND NOT THE THREAD ABOUT COACH ALMOST HAVING BALL CANCER

IN BEFORE HOLY FUCKS CAPS.

I PERSONALLY WOULD LIKE TO HEAR HOW MUCH IT SUCKS TO ALMOST HAVE BALL CANCER.
