<<Has it ever occurred to you that maybe one reason American health care is so much better than that in Canada is because of some of this paperwork, overhead, salaries and profits?>> This has occurred to me...Canada # 12 America #24 photius.com <<It is easy to operate with less overhead when you don't spend the money on facilities and equipment, and staff to operate the equipment, etc. >> Just one example that we do.. sickkids.ca <<CEO salaries and profits don't make a dent in total American health care costs (although I would agree there have been a few health care CEOs who were overpaid for their services). >> I beg to differ here .... Message 25831678 ...<g> I guess you didn't click on the ""I-node these guys say thanks, for helping me out."".. links... lol.. what physically comes out of these people on a daily basis is the same as you and me...do you think that what is behind their eyes is that valuable?? <<<You are trying to suggest that Canada saves all this money on patient accounting which is nonsense. Patient accounting serves a legitimate purpose>>> What patient accounting...present your health card...get treated...go home.No bill, no paper work, what accounting, no denial, no worries???? <<<More importantly, there are many reasons why American health care is so much more costly, not the least of which is that it is so much better. You can't get a vastly superior health care system without spending a little money.>>> Click around in """This has occurred to me...Canada # 12 America #24"" link above, what should occur to you???
