USA, Canada / WHAT'S THE CANADIAN HEALTH SERVICE REALLY LIKE? [15]
I lived in Canada for several years and then moved to US and can't really settle here because of the health care system. I consider it the worst in the world, becaue there is none unless you have money to pay for it or you work for employer that covers it. Even then it never covers 100%, so if you get really sick and use up your lifetime limits you can loose you house and all the money you worked for all your life. It is very nerve wrecking. you can get sick just from woring about getting sick here. I hate it. Of course the senators have the universal health care where they pay like $40/month with no lifetime limits etc.....I know I will move back to Canada . I have never seen anyone in Canada being denyied health care or made wait for tests, surgery etc.......I lived in Montreal and Toronto and have many friends there that already had health situations that here in US they would be paying thousands of dollars for even having health insurance.
In all civilized countries health care is not for profit, nobody benefits from someones illness. US is the only country I know where illness is a business and there are big corporations making billions on people getting sick.......how civilized is that??????????
