<<and govt. hires and trains doctors and other medical personnel.>>
In Canada, doctors are independent of government. They bill the government for services they provide to patients and are paid for services rendered, same as running an independent business.They are not members of "the proletariate" or the "the party"<<gg>>and the government is not in their offices controlling them in any way.
Canadian doctors study at universities and medical schools and generally pay their own way through with exception of scholarships etc.Many exit medical school with huge debt burden which they must pay back like many well trained professional leaving school.
Canada's healthcare system "has a heart." and prioritizes "NEED"as any and all systems "MUST" when demand is so great.One giant triage, there is no other reasonable way, when "ALL" are covered.
It is not perfect and never will be,no one in Canada will have to declare bankruptcy as a result of medical calamity,cost burden for system is paid by all, through tax system and small fee based on income.
There are no $12,000.00 yearly premiums to pay, for a family of four, if without an elite job, to pick up the cost.No monthly premium of over $200.00 per month per individual , if retired and on social secutity.
I have posted many "anecdotes" on this thread of the people, that i know about, that have had contact with our system the vast majority are successful outcomes. |
