Canada sends cancer patients to the US

[Tahuyaman]

Canada, with their great health care system can not handle their cancer patients. Waiting lists are so long for life saving care that either they send patients to Washington state or these people will die waiting for care.

British Columbia will send hundreds of cancer patients across the international border for treatment in Bellingham beginning this week in a multimillion dollar, desperate and controversial effort to restore government funded health care to some of its most vulnerable residents.

Why would they come here, I thought we were all going to die because of Obamacare?

Been doing it for decades now, Canada along with Europe's health care system is pure 100% $#@! imo!

This is the free health care system for all that some want in the US. They can’t even handle their most seriously ill. Of course their leadership has advocated introduceing assisted suicide as a health care procedure.

I was thinking the same thing, the people on the left wanted Obamacare to fail and then we would have National Healthcare like Canada. Many have used them as the model we should follow?

And YET, as bad as Obamacare is, it is still better than Socialized medicine

The ACA is a voluntary program. The public mandate was eliminated. There’s no valid comparison there.

the individual mandate was eliminated. it is still a mess driving that market and costing people and companies Thousands upon thousands of dollars.

I still have to carry Pre Natal Care on my single male employee's Make sure their Mammograms are Covered. But that is OK because my female employee's have their prostrate exams Covered.

As a side note, the INDIVIDUAL mandate was eliminated. Employers are still bound to comply with offering insurance at reduced premiums to people who can't afford it, but we will get shagged if we don't do it and spend people's time and money on complying.

The PPACA is a boondoggle of epic proportions, and has been since day one.
