I'd much rather spend money on MY intelligent successful offspring then spend it on propping up the absolute dregs of society that dropped from Barryxloves' loins.

But I agree, these threads are silly. Comparing the trailblazing healthcare system and it's cost to the leeching systems who benefit from it and THEIR costs is silly

So let's consider that free is when you don't have to pay for the ambulance/tests/clinic/meds/surgery/treatment directly out of your pocket. Everything is being payed by your government from various sources, including taxes (your own and those paid by others) and other types of the state income. Say your country sells weapons, food, oil, gas etc. When the country sells something, it makes the profit which must be used to support its own citizens (pensions, medicine, education, infrastructure, free housing for those who can't afford it etc). Isn't it? |

you are right, our shit 3rd world bombed to crap 2 decades under US sanctions shithole, manages to PAY healtcare for its citizens and offer them cost free (to them) healthcare, and the USA can not :1orglaugh in fact the #1 cause of personal bankruptcy in the USA is medical :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh sorry that you have to defend your shit/scam healtcare, its the american thing to do, pretend everyting is ok and go with the herd...when you get your 80$ aspirin you should say (like a good american) "thank the president and first lady for this aspirin that is 100x better than any other aspirin" :1orglaugh "thank god we have 1st class healthcare" :1orglaugh |

No. All producers do not share equally in the profit. 80% of the profit goes to the owners of the risk (the stakeholders) the other 20% of the profits go to the government in the form of taxes *percentages will vary with tax laws as applied. The "workers" are an expense in the cost of production -- their wages and benefits expensed out COGS to arrive at the gross profit. |

My 2 cents. Basic healthcare should be free / part of our taxes... with better healthcare available for $$$. For example, a person needs stitches, they get stitches. But for $$$ they get stitched by a plastic surgeon who leaves little or no scars. A person has Cancer, the Cancer is treated as best we can, maybe by students, maybe by some elective experiment... Person with $$$, hey maybe they get a private nurse, maybe they get real food instead of hospital food...
Healthcare reform would come in the form of free is safe from lawsuits, keeping the major cost down, and hence our taxes down. |
The same sort of leeches that will be in a screaming about no more $80 aspirin will be screaming about reasonable malpractice tort reform. Let 'em scream -- who cares ... |

Both systems have pros and cons, like anything else.
Perhaps have a read here. http://www.csqi.on.ca/cms/one.aspx?p....U9fvQvldVS E PET scans only started to be covered by OHIP in 2009, so there's likely some lag there. Wait times are typically less than 2 weeks (10 business days) at each PET/CT centre (Figure 4) The median wait time across all centres from April 2010 to December 2012 is 5 business days. The PET/CT centres reporting the maximum wait times vary from month to month, i.e., there are no consistent outliers. <--- there aren't any "bad" facilities that are consistently behind So should we double our investment in these machines to cut the median wait time down to 2-3 days? A 2004 survey of 14 members of the International Networks of Agencies for Health Technology Assessment (INAHTA) identified the number of PET scanners per million ranging from 0.25 in the Netherlands to 1.26 in Belgium, with Australia at 0.65, the United States at 0.83 and Canada at 0.39. <--- old data but interesting |
