It's all about money, just like pretty much everything else. and while I'd rather have our Canadian health system than what you have, it's not perfect either. While people aren't able to easily get treatments that they need if they can get them at all, our government is busy setting up offices that are supposed to be working on simplifying our health records system but are instead squandering billions of our dollars on consultants to do nobody knows what and billing everything from cars to $15 lunches to us the taxpayers...and that's just in my province! All of this is going on while joe public gets to sit in an under staffed emergency room for 5 hours at a time waiting to get looked at. Amazing that this is still better than the American system, which goes back to how much your health coverage sucks. You do realize that these providers aren’t in this to help you, right?

Funny, I thought that I was paying into a system that was there to INSURE me should I ever need any of these types of services. Ha! Foolish though, I suppose. Best, Joe Andy,

Why do they charge so much money per month yet we are not covered for everything? they throw out stupid terms like co-pays, deductibles and they say things like "your plan does not cover that", if you go to the hospital for something they send you a bill in addition to what you pay them every month. They say things like "well that drug is not covered" or "that procedure was not covered"; what a joke. Someone needs to simplify health insurance.....I think we should start a class action lawsuit against these insurance companies similar to what was done in the 1990's with big tobacco since all they do is over charge and under provide. Hopefully, soon we will have good quality health care like France, Canada and every other first world nation on the globe.
