gruffy is right - the medical system is now in tatters. sure it's great if you're a 20 year old kid with little income, who tears up a knee playing hoops, no problem. Waiting lists for scans, operations, etc but you will get good treatment and nobody will ask u for a penny.

It's falling apart at the top end, and for somebody who works hard, pays the ridiculous Canadian taxes, if you get really sick, need the best the medical world can give you - realize that you are getting the equivalent of care that a county hospital in the United States delivers to the poor.

for relatively healthy people it's a great system, abused like no other medical system in the world, people running to the doctor every time they bump their head on a cupboard door or they just 'don't feel good'.
