You are very adept at keeping to your agenda of defending your system at all costs. Your perception of posted anecdotes, is that they serve no purpose, unless you selectively post one that negatively portrays Canadian health care as stated before. You and many on this thread seize every opportunity to diss Canadian healthcare, the latest, "line jumping." <<Last year a neighbour had knee replacement... success ...zero cost to her other than taxes..other knee replacement this year.>> There could have been line jumping in the above situation because i know for a fact that the individuals are well connected...but there wasn't.Our system covers everyone poor and unconnected as well. Another anecdote..<g> When line jumping happens we are quick to point it out. Message 23938498 Before that it was "wait times" you selectively ignore statements like this.. ####Were there wait times involved?...you bet.Why would each individual expect to go immmediatly to the front of the line when millions of people need the same care in any system 24/7/365?When a dark cloud calamity comes upon one, it is reassuring, that everything that one has worked for will not be in jeopardy. Does anyone actually believe that there would be absolutely no waiting times if an ENTIRE POPULATION is served using any system??There is not enough fluffy dollars in this bankrupt world to support that idea. #### Anyone here honestly acknowledge the bold above?Put 47 million in your system and you would have them too...yeah i know you all expect to go to the front of the line at the "buffet" because you are hungry. Before that it was "your doctors have no freedom but are puppets of the government." No, they are independent business people in Canada, that bill the health care system for services provided, whatever service that might be. ..many are incorporated and they get paid. Canadian system needs constant work and tweeking.
