And in the rest of europe too ...

That's my point. You will wait if it's not an emergency. My dad got really ill on xmas day and his blood pressure was dangerously low. We called 911 and they were there within mins and took him to a local hospital and he was admitted and cared for. I really could care less what others from other countries think about canadian healthcare. I have had nothing but positive experiences. Yes we pay for our healthcare through taxes but we still pay less than we would to private insurance companies.

Only 6%! Hell yeah! THAT is awesome! :)

I don't even know who that is.

Just common sense tells me that there is NOTHING "free". Somebody pays for it.

So no...I'm a "use your brain" fan. :)

It is in the US. Had I been able to get in to see my regular doctor the cost would have been about half that, but since my regular doctor couldn't see me I had to go to urgent care because I was coughing so much I couldn't function.

I think the medication ended up costing me close to another $100. So my total costs were in the area of $540 and in the end all they really gave me was stuff to help with getting rid of the mucus and a cough syrup.

Yes, I know. But taxes there are little bit different :winkwink:

Yep, small businesses with lower then 60 million RUB (almost equal to 2 million dollars) in revenue may choose to pay only 6% tax on the income or 15% on the profit.
