Yup. :bananen_smilies046:
Sorry. This probly belongs in the Politics thread. But i didnt want to sidetrack whatever you guys were talkin about. Mods feel free to move this into that thread if you want.
But I need to hear it from myself. From someone who lives there. Not no rite or left media.
Canada, and/or anybody else that lives in Canada:
How is your universal healthcare system up there?
Are you happy with it?
Is it better than the american system?
How long are your waits?
How is your service?
Its honestly not the gretest system. I can't fairly compare it to what you have in the US as I have never been to a hospital in the States. I am however quite comfortable knowing that if i (or anyone in my family) even needs any type of healthcare, I dont have to worry about the $$$. There are times when you will wait a fairly long time when u go to the hospital but that is another discussion all together. Fact is that if I were to have a major Heart Attack or get seriously injured, there is no cost, nor is there a wait. You are immediately at the front of the line. People here are treated according to how badly they need medical attention. Those who need it most get it first. Those who wait long times are usually those who can afford to wait longer. While we pay higher taxes for the services we have, I can not imagine living without them. As much as some people may disagree with me, I think it is every persons right to have health coverage at any hospital at any time.
And you feel that you should be required to hold four jobs just to get by?
Because, Honey, that job isn't being offered to him. Just to you, Sweetheart.
But even if it was being offered to him, he doesn't have any transportation to get to work, so I'll fire him after he doesn't make it one time.
And, since I only offer it to you this one time, and maybe, in part, in another month, that $50 would be his income for the job each month, until winter comes.
So the job that I refuse to offer him, is really only worth about $20 a month. Because I'll be damned if that work is really worth $50. I think I'll be able to con him down to 20. After all, he's desperate.
Silly ain't, it, that with me completely unwilling to pay him $20 a month, that he can't find himself a home, ain't it?
