>TFW healthcare in Canada is utter shit and you're on a year waiting list for surgery if it's not immediately life threatening
Don't fall for the """free""" healthcare meme guys. Socialism is aids
>>61437042
Don't fall for our healthcare system, paying for it blows
Great service though
>>61437238
What about insurance
I know a sixty year old lady who's been on a waiting list for a hip replacement surgery for six months, she's in constant pain and has to use a cane to get around
Don't fall for the "high quality" privatised healthcare meme guys
>>61437303
How is that possible?
Every year over 50,000 Canadians go out of the country for care, mostly to the US
>>61437299
What about insurance
You're either a slave to your company or you pay out the ass for it. Sure, it's viable, it's just not optimal
>>61437303
Hip replacement surgeries take a while in the best of cases
>>61437433
Better than paying thousands in taxes for healthcare you never use here
It's fucking bullshit, takes a century for anything non immediately life threatening
id much rather pay
>>61437387
>How is that possible?
>Torontonians who buy the "there's no waiting" maymay
Gas bay street.

>Better than paying thousands in taxes for healthcare you never use here
I'm not saying your system is better, I just think ours could be way better. Part of the cost problem is because the insurance and pharmaceutical companies are essentially oligopolies which means they can set the prices to whatever the fuck they want. TORT law needs to be reformed as well
>>61437551
B-but I want to work on bay street
>>61437847
That's why you need to remove regulation and let the freemarket do its magic
>>61437509
>Better than paying thousands in taxes for healthcare you never use here
People who are covered also do that.
People who aren't go bankrupt at the first broken arm.
You're whining with your mouth full.
>>61437847
>TORT law needs to be reformed as well
Tort reform is a huge, mostly meaningless goalpost
>>61438002
That's horsepoop
If you pay in cash upfront they cut your cost down incredibly
>>61437949
>That's why you need to remove regulation and let the freemarket do its magic
I'm fairly certain they tried to deregulate to some extent in Wisconsin or something, but I don't know how it turned out
Obongocare gets in the way a lot of the time
>>61438002
>Tort reform is a huge, mostly meaningless goalpost
explain then
>>61438061
>If you pay in cash upfront they cut your cost down incredibly
Literally delusional.
Well we have free healthcare and it works pretty well desu
>>61438144
Literally false
Do you actually believe everyone gets in debt from broken arms and actually pays sensationalist amounts of $175,000 to see a doctor?
>>61438245
>free
>>61437042
Id trade ours for yours desu. Private healthcare is a joke.
>>61438261
>sensationalist amounts of $175,000 to see a doctor?
I had to pay 300 upfront to see a gp for a bronchitis as an uninsured student. You're insane if you think things don't happen and that they're not going to make you pay through the nose when they do.
>>61438342
So is having private clinics not exist even if you have money
>>61438353
$300 is a lot?
What the fuck try getting a job thwt isn't at mcdonalds or stacking boxes
>>61438456
>t. Bay street
You aren't making a good enough case to not gas Bay street btw.
>>61438488
Nigga u and what army
We're the backbone of Canada
>>61438719
>We're the backbone of Canada
Alberta?
>>61437042
>government makes pilot project to cut down on waiting times
>pays for Canadians to get surgeries in the US
>cancels pilot project because virtually no Canadians wanted to go the the US
>wanted more hospitals built here and funded better instead
things will equalize after the boomers start dying, but we've also got the added issue of all these new foreigners who go to the doctor when they have a simple cold.

How much does pulling a wisdom tooth cost in the land of the free
>>61438905
go back to bed, weedman. i'll read u that comic marvel puts you in for some reason.
>>61438963
>>61438963
>As of 2016, our cost range from $200 to $500 per tooth for surgical wisdom teeth removal. This includes the cost of local anesthesia and follow visits. On average, the patient can expect to spend about $1,400 for four wisdom teeth removal.
Lel
That's for more expensive areas though, it didn't cost very much for me
>>61439063
okie dokie
what if your company has dental?
>>61438963
I'd guess around the same in Canada since our dental industry is privatized. Not sure per tooth but a dentist quoted me over 2k to get all 4 removed, plus some hidden costs I'm sure. Cost me over 2k to get a root canal too.
>>61439125
>what if your company has dental?
$20 co-pay or so
>>61438749
Alberta is dead bro
Seen yhe price of oil lately?
>>61439546
Let them go
Let us annex them. They'll be better off with us and they're basically Americans anyway
>>61439660
Take them lmao we don't care
