>TFW healthcare in Canada is utter shit and you're on a year waiting list for surgery if it's not immediately life threatening

Don't fall for the """free""" healthcare meme guys. Socialism is aids

Don't fall for our healthcare system, paying for it blows

Great service though

What about insurance

I know a sixty year old lady who's been on a waiting list for a hip replacement surgery for six months, she's in constant pain and has to use a cane to get around

Don't fall for the "high quality" privatised healthcare meme guys

How is that possible?

Every year over 50,000 Canadians go out of the country for care, mostly to the US

What about insurance

You're either a slave to your company or you pay out the ass for it. Sure, it's viable, it's just not optimal

Hip replacement surgeries take a while in the best of cases

Better than paying thousands in taxes for healthcare you never use here

It's fucking bullshit, takes a century for anything non immediately life threatening

id much rather pay

>How is that possible?
>Torontonians who buy the "there's no waiting" maymay
Gas bay street.

>Better than paying thousands in taxes for healthcare you never use here
I'm not saying your system is better, I just think ours could be way better. Part of the cost problem is because the insurance and pharmaceutical companies are essentially oligopolies which means they can set the prices to whatever the fuck they want. TORT law needs to be reformed as well

B-but I want to work on bay street

That's why you need to remove regulation and let the freemarket do its magic

>Better than paying thousands in taxes for healthcare you never use here
People who are covered also do that.

People who aren't go bankrupt at the first broken arm.

You're whining with your mouth full.

>TORT law needs to be reformed as well
Tort reform is a huge, mostly meaningless goalpost

That's horsepoop

If you pay in cash upfront they cut your cost down incredibly

>That's why you need to remove regulation and let the freemarket do its magic
I'm fairly certain they tried to deregulate to some extent in Wisconsin or something, but I don't know how it turned out

Obongocare gets in the way a lot of the time

>Tort reform is a huge, mostly meaningless goalpost
explain then

>If you pay in cash upfront they cut your cost down incredibly
Literally delusional.

Well we have free healthcare and it works pretty well desu

Literally false

Do you actually believe everyone gets in debt from broken arms and actually pays sensationalist amounts of $175,000 to see a doctor?

>free

Id trade ours for yours desu. Private healthcare is a joke.

>sensationalist amounts of $175,000 to see a doctor?
I had to pay 300 upfront to see a gp for a bronchitis as an uninsured student. You're insane if you think things don't happen and that they're not going to make you pay through the nose when they do.

So is having private clinics not exist even if you have money

$300 is a lot?

What the fuck try getting a job thwt isn't at mcdonalds or stacking boxes

>t. Bay street
You aren't making a good enough case to not gas Bay street btw.

Nigga u and what army

We're the backbone of Canada

>We're the backbone of Canada
Alberta?

>government makes pilot project to cut down on waiting times
>pays for Canadians to get surgeries in the US
>cancels pilot project because virtually no Canadians wanted to go the the US
>wanted more hospitals built here and funded better instead
things will equalize after the boomers start dying, but we've also got the added issue of all these new foreigners who go to the doctor when they have a simple cold.

>We're the backbone of Canada

You're the downfall you mean

How much does pulling a wisdom tooth cost in the land of the free

go back to bed, weedman. i'll read u that comic marvel puts you in for some reason.

>As of 2016, our cost range from $200 to $500 per tooth for surgical wisdom teeth removal. This includes the cost of local anesthesia and follow visits. On average, the patient can expect to spend about $1,400 for four wisdom teeth removal.
Lel

That's for more expensive areas though, it didn't cost very much for me

okie dokie
what if your company has dental?

I'd guess around the same in Canada since our dental industry is privatized. Not sure per tooth but a dentist quoted me over 2k to get all 4 removed, plus some hidden costs I'm sure. Cost me over 2k to get a root canal too.

>what if your company has dental?
$20 co-pay or so

Alberta is dead bro

Seen yhe price of oil lately?

Let them go
Let us annex them. They'll be better off with us and they're basically Americans anyway

Take them lmao we don't care
