"You know what else is a scam? Waiting 3+ months to use an MRI. Of course that is what you wait in Canada on average because government run health care has stifled innovation, the doctor to patient ratio has skyrocketed, and there isn't enough money for equipment. There is a way, however, to get an MRI within a week if you live in Canada. You can either be a dog, be a cat, or fly to the United States and have it done almost immediately. "
Dude, just stfu, you have no idea what you are talking about. It took me over 2 months to get an MRI and I live in the US. My doctor said that he wanted me to get an MRI but he had to ASK the freaking Insurance ripoffs first. My doctor also told me that they would deny it the first time, which they did, and he would have to escalate the request. Who would you rather have paying for your health insurance? A company that profits off giving you the least amount of coverage their contract says they can or a government agency that doesn't make a profit that you helped elect? You can keep lining the insurance companies pockets and keep buying them mansions. I'm done with that.
Oh, and btw, 95% of people on Medicaire think it's great.
Over 65% of people that go bankrupt, you know losing all the property you own, do so from medical bills in the US.
The US is ranked 33, next to Cuba, in health care.
45,000+ US citizens die EACH YEAR, from not having health insurance since they have no access to a regular doctor.
If you have no insurance and get cancer, some politicians (rebulicans) suggest you go beg for help at a charity.
The greatest country in the world spits on its people with such poor health care. I really hope you get some disease or injury that requires multiple surgeries/long term care, you go bankrupt, lose your home, loe your health insurance, and freaking die 20 years early.
