Canadian Health Care System

Stumble ThisA positive story about the Canadian healthcare system. Liz Mcleod had a brain tumor discovered and removed within the span of 3 weeks and it didn't cost her a penny thanks to the Canadian health care system which is among the best in the world.
It is not only the best for those who can afford health care, but it is the best for all Canadians. To all our American neighbors, don't be misled by t More..hose in the American health system who try to justify the status quo by exaggerating selective cases." Submitted by Frank Mcleod.

The truth is that Canadian politicians from both major parties have bought into Thatcherism, Reaganism, whatever you want to call it. The two main political parties in Canada, like the US are dislocated from the people in that they are ideologically bent on serving those that control our resources. For Canada it's oil locally and mining internationally. Popular social programs like a universal child care program in Canada, which had overwhelming support, is relatively cheap, and the program it was based on in Quebec cut child poverty in half in under a decade, will never be considered by our modern liberal or conservative leaderships. They don't listen to the population.
Alright I'll stop ranting.
I can't speak for other Provinces but in British Columbia the number of Doctors trained annually has tripled over the last 6 years, I understand this sort of effort is happening elsewhere in Canada too.
As for the crazy woman who went on American TV to dis the Canadian system, she didn't have a "tumor" at least not in the common sense, she had a liquid build-up NOT cancer, various doctors who are highly educated on the subject have said that if she'd waited for her Canadian surgery rather than going to the states the only side-effects she'd have encountered during that time could be some visual problems which would have cleared up after the surgery and even that was unlikely... If left for years and years, yes it would have eventually killed her but it was not anywhere near as serious as she makes it out to be.
