There is nothing that prevents you from paying your fair share as the IRS is killing to accept your money.
Why is it you demand everyone else pay first before you pay?
And the government is responsible for the jobless issues we have today. GOVERNMENT SHUT DOWN BUSINESSES not the virus.
Las flu season 80K micas dies fo the flu. in 68, the Hong Kong flu killed over 100K Americans dies for the flu, no a peep out of people like yourself or the media.
Over 600K americans die from heart disease every year and not a peep out of people like yourself as Americans continue to be fat asses eating their way into a coronary. 60%+ or Americans are infected with over eating to the point of obesity and over weight.
p.s. These 2 conditions creating secondary issues are prime reasons for a corona death.
The only thing Canadian patients are “guaranteed” is a spot on a waitlist. As the Fraser report notes, in 2017, more than 173,000 patients waited for an ophthalmology procedure. Another 91,000 lined up for some form of general surgery, while more than 40,000 waitedfor a urology procedure.
All told, nearly 3% of Canada’s population was waiting for some kind of medical care at the endof last year.
Those delays were excruciatingly long. After receiving a referral from a general practitioner, the typical patient waited more than 21 weeks to receive treatment from a specialist. That was the longest average waiting period on record – and more than doublethe median wait in 1993.
Rural patients faced even longer delays. For instance, the average Canadian in need of orthopedic surgery waited almost 24 weeks for treatment – but the typical patient in rural Nova Scotia waited nearly39 weeks for the same procedure.
One Ontario woman, Judy Congdon, learned that she needed a hip replacement in 2016, according to the Toronto Sun . Doctors initially scheduled the procedure for September 2017 – almost a year later. The surgery never happened on schedule. The hospital ran over budget, forcing physicians to postponethe operation for another year.
In the United States, suffering for a year or more before receiving a joint replacement is unheard of. In Canada, it’s normal.
Canadians lose a lot of money waiting for their “free” socialized medicine. On average, patients forfeitover $1,800 in lost wages. And that’s only counting the working hours they miss due to pain and immobility.
The Fraser Institute researchers also calculated the valueof all the waking hours that patients lost because they couldn’t fully function. The toll was staggering– almost $5,600 per patient, totaling $5.8 billion nationally. And those calculations ignore the value of uncompensated care provided by family members, who often take time off work or quit their jobs to help ill loved ones.
Canada isn’t an anomaly. Every nation that offers government-funded, universal coverage features long wait times. When the government makes health care “free,” consumers’ demand for medical services surges. Patients have no incentive to limit their doctor visits or choose more cost-efficient providers.
To prevent expenses from ballooning, the government sets strict budget caps that only enable hospitals to hire a limited number of staff and purchase a meager amount of equipment. Demand inevitably outstrips supply. Shortages result.
Just look at the United Kingdom’s government enterprise, the National Health Service, which turns 70 this July. Today, British hospitals are so overcrowdedthat doctors regularly treat patients in hallways. The agency recently canceledtens of thousands of surgeries, including urgentcancer procedures, because of severe resource shortages. And this winter, nearly 17,000 patients waitedin the backs of their ambulances – many for an hour or more – before hospital staff could clear space for them in the emergency room.
Most Americans would look at these conditions in horror. Yet Sen. Sanders and his fellow travelers continue to treat the healthcare systems in Canada and the UK as paragons to which America should aspire.
