In a previous article, "Robert M. Gary" said:
state rate. So the super Dr's end up coming to the U.S. for millions (Neurosurgeons, etc) while the marginal Dr's stay in Canada. He also said that some surgeries have such a long waiting list that weathy Canadians simply pay cash for their surgery in the U.S. Both of those are overgeneralizations. The doctor who worked on my dad's heart attack in Toronto has been featured on the PBS program "Nova" because of his innovations in heart surgery. Whereas I, as a victim of US health care, have been turned away from treatments prescribed by my doctor because the insurance companies won't pay. The local pain clinic closed down because the insurance companies had denied coverage so often. Oh, and I made an appointment for a neurologist in October. It took some work because none of the neurologists in a 75 mile radius are taking new patients, but my doctor knows one and phoned her up to beg her to take me. Guess when I get to see her? March 29th. I could move back to Canada, get back on OHIP, and see my dad's neurologist in that length of time. Which country is it that supposedly has health care rationing again? -- Paul Tomblin http://xcski.com/blogs/pt/ What is a committee? A group of the unwilling, picked from the unfit, to do the unnecessary. -- Richard Harkness, _The New York Times_, 1960 |
