I sure did, & yet i'm still receiving bills. My health insurance didn't cover some of the treatments, or only 70% of some. I never once had any problems with them not covering things, but once you start raking up big bills, they get their lawyers to find small print ways out of certain procedures etc. to reduce their costs.Originally posted by BRISK
So here, a year later, i'm still paying for emergency room visits, etc. from my ordeal last year.Comment

Damn, that sucks. How much were you paying for that insurance that didn't fully cover you? Are you still buying the same insurance today?Originally posted by pr0I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,

I was paying $500 a month, it was COBRA (continuation) of the insurance my folks had me on for free up until i was 21.Originally posted by BRISK
Now i have no insurance because they tapped me out financially during my recovery (when i wasn't working), & i just dropped it.
Basically, i racked up $1,000,000 in surgery charges & their debating that some of the treatments were not neccessary.
So i'm back making lots of $ again....but i still have hospitals to pay....so i'll be fucked for another 6 months ATLEAST.
Oh well atleast i can write most of it off.Comment

My mom fell very ill a few years ago and eventually had to be rushed to the hospital. She's in her late 70's, and she ended up having to stay in hospital for over 2 months and had numerous tests, treatments and procedures done. She received as good a level of care as she would get anywhere in the world.
When she was finally deemed fit enough to go home and continue her recovery there, they wheeled her down to my dad's car and wished her well. No bill was handed to her. Had that stay happened in the US it could very well have cost our family over $100k.
No, I think the people of Canada are not going to give up our health care system just yet. Those in Quebec may think this is a good idea, or it may just be one more ploy by the separatists to differentiate themselves from the rest of Canada, I don't know..... but I can't see it flying everywhere else.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

" But the bigger surprise was that three-quarters of the medically bankrupt had health insurance.Originally posted by BRISK
How did illness bankrupt middle-class Americans with health insurance? For some, high co-payments, deductibles, exclusions from coverage and other loopholes left them holding the bag for thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs when serious illness struck. But even families with Cadillac coverage were often bankrupted by medical problems. "
And there i was........... with my cadillac coverage too ^Comment

And had people on GFY like wiredguy & countless other people not helped me out, i would have been the guy standing in the bankruptcy line, lost my car, & all my belongings. Simply because i was too sick to work.
Last time i checked, thats why we have a government, to protect people against things like that. You know, murder, rape, theiving & unfair business practices.
And i think sticking it to someone who's too sick to work, sending collection agencies after them etc. would fall under being as bad as murder.Comment

Dude the best way of providing Free public health care thats good quality is to get all the high/middle income to pay for their own Private health care, then the low income the govenment can afford to take care of.
Private health care is A GOOD THING! in Australia. We have one of the best free health systems (all employees here pay an extra 2% to pay for it). And we have a huge amount of middle to upper class population that has private health care and so doesn't burden the public system.

Yea well here, in the U.S. if you get sick, you better have health insurance + alot of extra cash in the bank to pay for the small print.Originally posted by Matt_WC

Ever been to a hospital in Montreal? Its hell. Walk in off the street with a broken leg and you will sit and wait for many hours before they take you. (or you may end up having to stand cause the seats are full) Go to a clinic and they will send you to the hospital after you waited there for many hours. Im not saying I agree or disagree with that article but I do think that something needs to be done here. I wouldnt want to lose the healthcare system we have but maybe offering more private hospitals/clinics would help??? I have seen a few hospitals recently get some extensions built on so I assume this is going to help somewhat, but I really don't think its enough. Anyway lets see how it goes and hope for the best.TengaCash

All it means is that they are thinking of moving away from a one-tier system to a two-tier system where people can pay for healthcare if they can afford it. People are in an uproar saying it's unfair, what a load of bullshit.. It will take a lot of strain off the public system, and the taxpayers don't have to pay medical for those who can afford their own. Makes sense to me.Comment

Don't need to read it again. Upon first hearing of this subject this morning it appeared that it was the province of Quebec that was attempting to change the law so they could make moves toward the two-tier system of health care.Originally posted by xxxdesign-net
But as the morning wore on I found this article....http://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/Winnip...80136-sun.html
It was this article that talks about Quebec being involved.... http://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/Winnip...80138-sun.html
... which indicates that there is no movement towards a two-tier system (which I oppose) but rather towards more insurance options for Canadians.
In another thread I also posted that I would rather see a user fee for people who go to the ER for non-emergancy treatments. A $5 or $10 userfee or the choice to go to a walk-in clinic. That would bring in some needed revenue for health care and still preserve the system we have now, which as far as world standards goes is pretty damned good.Last edited by CDSmith; 06-10-2005, 08:46 AM.Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

Our current system sucks ass but I don't think a two-tiered system is a good thing at all because I simply don't trust the people who are in charge of healthcare funding.Originally posted by LadyMischief
What I see happening in a two-tiered system: Wealthy people pay for private care, reducing demand on the public system, sure. Then the government will decide to reduce funding to the public system because the same level of need is no longer there. As a result, you'll see rich people getting excellent healthcare and low income people with the same long surgery wait lists and poor care that you do now.
The problem with our system is mismanagement. Their solution for over-worked nurses and long surgery waitlists is to hire more managers to 'investigate the problem'.
The solution is simple. Hire more nurses. Increase the number seats in nursing and medical school programs so there are more trained professionals. Improve working conditions. The solution is not paying people more money, giving crazy raises and benefits...give someone a decent place to work and treat them well and you'll have a happy workforce.

I suppose it all boils down to wheather or not you want to live in a community that believes it's important to help others that cannot afford the basics of a healthy existence (food, healthcare, education, housing) as opposed to living in a community that views it preferable to prevent others having access to the basics of a healthy existence. I know I know, everyone should take personal responsiblity for their own lives. For the most part I believe in this but there's a sizable group of individuals in not only the US but also Canada that don't start out with the same advantages that most of us appreciate and may need some assistance.Originally posted by BradM

Last December, my mother had a heart failure. Ambulance brought her to Hotel-Dieu hospital. The doctor told us to prepare for her to die ( she is 85 ) . They still said they wanted to try to save her, so morphine and called in a team to operate ( 2:00 AM ). Within 30 minutes, she was in the OR with anasthesist, nurses, 2 surgeons, etc ... They unblocked 2 arteries with a type of balloon ( they gave us pictures of it afterwards ). She was then intensive care for a week ( docs, nurses, test, etc ..) then a full 6 weeks.Originally posted by bringer
Today, she is having diner with the kids tomorrow to celebrate the birthday of my father ( 84 , and treated for colon cancer).
This treatment in the US would have wiped out the million they have in cash ...

What the hell does that article have to do with what was being discussed?

The US spends a larger percentage of its GDP on medicine than Canada and there's still 45 million uninsurred; so it doesn't appear the the US system is all that shit hot either. Some Western European countries have private/public health care systems so maybe we should take a look at some aspects of theirs. Or we could just hire more doctors (at a rate proportional to the increasing population) and pay them at a competitive rate with their private counterparts instead of increasing the already obscene corporate welfare of 4 billion dollars. Giving the business community in Canada a tax break is one thing, but then turning around and giving certain companies (friends of the Prime Minister) charitable handouts is another - while at the same time claiming there isn't enough money left to increase health care spending by several million.Comment

banning private health insurance they said !!!! Not banning universal healtcare . That's mean it's still free for every body and ones who have "private insurance" can't pass over peoples who don't !

It's funny hearing the Americans telling the Canadians how much they pay for their healthcare.
The USA spends round 13% of their GDP on PUBLIC health. Australia spends around 9% of GDP on public health and Canada around 10%.
The difference is that Canada and Australia have universal systems where ALL citizens are covered. Sounds like American taxpayers are getting ripped off.
