Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I am getting very disappointed with this countries Darwinian approach to health care. The fact I cannot get care in this country with a pre-existing condition (ICD) that allows me to enjoy near perfect health and average visits to the doctor of 2 times annually, really gets up my nose!
I am fortunate I am a UK and Canadian Citizen as well as US. So when we completely screw the system up over here and make it totally not affordable for the average American, both my self and my wife can move to Canada and make our main residence there.
The fact one of us HAS to work just to get sub standard health Insurance is deplorable. I will be buggered if I an going to risk our hard earned nest egg to fund one of the most greedy and corrupt health care systems on the planet. (Of course there are honest folk everywhere and this is not a dig at hardworking health care professionals). It IS a dig on the money grabbing insurance companies. Health Care should be NON PROFIT!!! Period!
We both maintain our eligibility for Canadian health Care coverage at a minimum cost. I am sick of listening to lobbyist controlled opinionated pundits and completely incompetent talk show hosts on how the US health care system is far superior to the Canadian one.
Try talking to someone that has used all of them.
Personally I have had surgery in the UK , Canada and the USA in my life and all things being equal I would select the following for my family and loved ones:
1) I would Toss the UK one where the Sun does not shine!
2) The US Care is good (If you can afford it) But do not get a Heart Attack!
3) I would select the Canadian system HANDS down over all of these.
Unless we can do something about this, myself and my family will simply spend wonderful summers (153 days) in Sunny Southern Ontario and return to Florida in the Winter.
Does anyone else feel like I do about this that has ACTUALLY had experience [MODERATOR EDIT]?
