HIS STUPIDITY IS EPIC

 

Nothing says "O Canada" like the Matterhorn on the Swiss-Italian border.

Canada's Wonderland

It comes as no surprise that Trump wants to emulate Putin's imperialist expansion. He wants to buy Greenland and seems to want to annex Canada.
I don't think they're interested.
Sorry, Don. Canadian white people aren't as ignorant and racist as American white people. We're #1! USA! USA!

Speaking of Canada, there's an interesting, but not surprising, exchange at WYD.

Canadian Anonymous:
I'm a Canadian. This is what I did two days ago. I went to my doctor appointment, gave the receptionist my health card, sat down for 3 mins in the waiting area and was called in by a nurse. The nurse weighed me, took my blood pressure, and heart rate and said the doctor will be with you in a moment. In a moment, the doctor came in, we talking about my prescription, whatever health issue I had, bla bla bla, and gave me a referral to get several types of blood tests. She also gave me a slip to give to the receptionist to book a follow up appointment. After that, I drove down the street, went to the lab for a blood test. Gave them my health card, had my blood taken and peed in a cup and was out the door in 15 mins.

There were no fees, no insurance, zero costs. I will not get a bill in the mail, it will never cost me anything. I am 52yrs old, have lots of health issues, had countless CT, MRI, and many other scans and operations, I have never had a bill in my entire life. If that means I am a socialist, so be it. I would rather be a socialist than be a bankrupted capitalist.

Insurance CEO's provide zero health care. Why should they get the free money?

How long did you have to wait for CT's and MRI's?

Emergencies are scheduled immediately. Wait times increase with lower priorities.

What’s the wait time for an MRI scan in Toronto?

In Toronto, MRI wait times depend on patient prioritization. To promote the best overall health outcomes, healthcare providers divide patients into 4 categories depending on need:

Priority 1 patients are emergencies. They are seen immediately.
Priority 2 patients should be seen within 2 days.
Priority 3 patients should get their scans within 10 days
Priority 4 patients should be seen within 28 days
Ontario Health maintains a website that tracks wait times for diagnostic imaging in the province. In Toronto, MRI wait times, which depend on the availability of both MRI machines and skilled technologists to operate them, can range widely. On average, Priority 2 patients are seen within 4 days. But Priority 3 patients usually wait an average of 26 days, and Priority 4 patients can wait more than 80 days for their scans.

And who decides your treatments and your wait times the doctors or the government?

Canadian Anonymous:
Lisa,
It says " healthcare providers", NOT the government. The government is the payer.
That makes two of your questions I have answered.
Why won't you answer mine?

They REALLY hate answering questions. Any bets that -FJ/JC or Skud would answer this simple question?

Row row row your boat gently down the stream..

Merrily merrily merrily merrily life is but a dream.


For You Know Who life truly is one continuous dream. Unfortunately his "dreams" usually turn out to be epic failures. Or, for anyone or everyone else affected by his "dream" a nightmare.

Except for his dyed in the wool cultists who would likely support him shooting someone on 5th Ave. NYNY just like he said in 2015.

Dave D., Lisa comes to my blog, makes assertions with no evidence. I answer with links and facts; she never responds. Either she hasn’t the capacity to understand what I post, or she’s not interested in having an honest discussion. You certainly can’t have one on her blog.

You're going to be busy for the next four years posting stupid stuff.

Canada has an excellent health care system if you are healthy. Just ask the medical facilities in Detroit and Buffalo how many people they treat who cannot get care in Canada. Basic health care for all should be the goal for the US. Medicare for all is fine as long as everyone pays for it like current recipients do but that is what obamacare was all about which was soooo successful.

Dave Dubya said...

Of course, Skud is willfully obtuse on Canadian healthcare being prioritized for emergency treatment. Rich Canadians come over for elective procedures.

Let's look at Skud's list of Canadians who would prefer the American insurance company "healthcare" system.

1.________

Got any to add, Skudsy?

I'll bet his list is equally long for people who are on Obamacare who'd rather NOT be.

Plus, does Skud even know that the Affordable Care Act is overwhelmingly supported. Only when it is called "Obamacare" does it get attacked. Nothing racist or ignorant about that, amirite?
