Well I think its great and here's my story. I pay $242 a month for semi private coverage, all my doctor and healthcare expenses are covered, my prescription drugs are in that fee as well. The government puts a lot of money into it but I think it works well.
Yes there are waits for some procedures, that's because it doesn't cost anyone anything!. There are some doctor shortages in rural areas, young doctors want to be in the large centers.
I had a stroke three years ago or so and I had cat scan, mri's bubble tests cartoid artery tests, sent to stroke clinic, had two specialists and am now under the care of one of Canada's top stroke doctors, I am taking cholestorol pills, blood pressure pills, and blood thinners, I have recieved excellent care over three years..why do I think we have a good system??? I have not had to pay one cent to a doctor, specialist, clinic or hospital, not one cent for my drugs and care..other than the monthly carrying fee which covers my wife as well. I did not have to borrow money or mortgage my house because of a medical crisis, I owe nothing for these incredible services. Some people whine because they have to wait six months to have a knee replaced..well heck it is free and there's a lot of people using a free system..I can't say that it is perfect but I am darned glad we have the system we do, it sure saved my life and under such emergency situations there is no waiting. Yes the government would like to see no waiting for any proceedure but again imagine the line up when it is free...I'm happy, yes I hear stories that someone had to wait in the hallway on a stretch for four days before a room was available..it didn't cost them anything..some people just aren't patient patients! Perfection is hard to achive but "darned good" is close!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition. ... [Read Article]
