I was just about to e-mail this to you.
Have you got a horror story to share in the comments?
Is this a Quebec thing, or what? We've never dealt with the system in Quebec, but we have never, EVER, had problems like this, no matter what province or area we lived in at the time, with or without a family doctor. Between the two of us, we've had all sorts of tests, including CT stans, MRI, bronchoscopy, and long lists of blood tests, and never had these problems. We've encountered incompitent individuals, but overall had excellent care. Even my non-emergancy surgery, which started off on a long waiting list, happened within weeks instead of an unknown number of months I was told to expect.
Our system has its problems and could use improvements, but with my husband's extended illness, including a year and half on medical leave, the one thing we never had to worry about was how to pay for his care, even as he went through three different types of income replacement insurances before we found ourselves with no income at all. My father is still alive thanks to the speed of treatment he recieved. So is one of my SIL's.
While I don't have any rosey-eyed illusions about our system, I don't think this video fairly represents it, either. It certainly doesn't represent the experiences of my family members across Canada.
It's a Michael Moore style selective edit documentary. Crowder is being deliberately dishonest to play back this largely ignorant audience back home. They already believe a lot of these myths about our healthcare, so if he manages to pull out an isolated hyperbolic scare story or two, it just reinforces what they already believe.
Our system is far from perfect, but there is no chance in hell a movement towards an American style healthcare system would ever fly here. We already know what we have is better than the nightmare they are dealing with.
