re: Wait times exploding for Canadians waiting on healthcare procedures

My first GF in NYC was Canadian from Magill. She was rather conservative, but Canada's socialized medicine had just started. I worked really well having taken over a fully private system with state of the art equipment and full medical staffs.
However, the bean counters soon implemented rationing and long wait times to cut costs. The advanced medical equipment aged and wasn't kept up to date and the staffing degenerated as experienced practitioners retired or left for greener pastures. Now, Canadian's who are really in need of treatment quip, "My dogs and cats get better treatment."

When are people gonna use their brain, the people making the rules don't follow the same rules you have to because they make the rules, hence the come to US for procedures then go back to their home bragging how good healthcare is in the homeland.
They don't give a shite about you, never have never will, It's all about them

ours. at least you can get care, but it might take you years to pay it off.
not to mention the money you throw away on insurance premiums every year.

Best health care system in the world and it’s free.

That’s part of the design of the system.

The solution is to build giant work camps where they work and only fed gruel until their medical debt is paid off. Kind of like everybody else with medical bill does. No more free rides and usage of the er for sniffles.
