        These discussions are always proof positive that no clear answer exists. If there was a clear answer, there would be no debate. Everywhere has pluses and minuses. Every healthcare system has pluses and minuses. The benefits and negatives of any system are always over stated and exaggerated and round and round it goes.

            I don't care about the ratings. The only thing I care is how it really works for me and my family. Enjoy living in a pink cloud castle. May the god be with you.

                    I think he's referring to the option in Canada to buy extra "premium" insurance coverage, usually through Blue Cross, which gives you certain added privileges such as a private or semi-private room (if available), expedited care whenever possible, things like that. It's not mandatory that you have it, and a lot of Canadians don't. There is no "have to pay" as you said.

                        no.

                        the map simply shows a fact. it didn't compare or create a competition between america and russia or cuba or bumfuck.

What they do have is an insurance industry problem coupled with big Pharma and Tort Law that could use some reform. But the actual care is exceptional if you're properly insured.

                                            One of the guys I work with in Ohio comes to Canada every few months for his diabetes care, and then goes back home and makes payments to the hospital/doctors here. According to him, it's cheaper to do that, including travel and accommodations, because it's far too expensive for him to get insurance (maybe due to pre-existing reasons?). I have no idea what the figures are, I just found that interesting.

                                            And as someone else said, nothing is free. Certainly the medical industry here in Canada is not free, we pay for it through taxation.


                                            However we're not without our problems.. i also am fairly convinced there is a lot of corruption/waste within our admin areas

                                                Out of fun, that's a truth. Look Latin America and South Asia. People are not great scientists there. They don't launch space rockets etc, because the life is very easy to them - it's not cold, the food is every where etc

                                                        How much would a facet block infiltration procedure cost in the US? Just curious.

                                                        Here, to the patient at least, they're free. I know, I just had them done on my lower back and was charged not a cent. In fact over the past seven months I've seen my new doctor about 5 times, was referred to two specialists both of whom I have now seen, and had one procedure done for the above mentioned injections.

                                                        (facet block infiltration is basically in lay terms called "cortisone injections")

                                                        I wonder what all that would have cost me in the states? I have yet to recieve a bill for anything here, and the level of care has been quite exemplary.

                                                        The big bad evil Canadian health care system at work. lol

                                                            To flesh the point out fully, just out of curiousity how much per month do you pay for health care coverage? On this very board I've read posts where americans are paying anywhere from $300 to $1500 per month, depending on family size, pre-existing conditions, etc. Where do you fall in there?
