            Wow. You really are a toxic asshole. Imagine being such an asshole you wish cancer on someone. Hope your parents see this post!

            Lets see,

            1. My grandma got cancer, she got it treated and lived another 15 years.
            2. My wife’s grandfather was found to have late stage throat cancer, he was admitted into a hospital within the day, where he opted for MAID instead of treatment, being 95 years old.
            3. My wife needed a C-section, and got it within hours.
            4. My american friend has had reoccuring melinoma, and has had it treated every time without cost.
            5. when my son was born, we had weekly house vists from a nurse to check in how he was doing, for two months, free of charge.
            6. my manager needed an emergency triple bypass, which they got, within 24 hours. and then 2 weeks of hospital stay, which they got.

            And in all of that, you know what our biggest expense was? Food, and not for the patient, for the rest of us who was there supporting them

            Yea, the american system is fucked.

              Weekly visits from a nurse for months? If you’re gonna call a guy a liar, at least make your lies believable

                Just proves how out of touch you are with the Canadian healthcare system.

                Now, I don’t know why you make it your goal to criticize something you know nothing about, and then you go on to brag you know nothing about, and then you go on to call names and wish cancer when this is pointed out to you…

                But hey, don’t let the truth get in the way of your lies!

                    I havent had to pay a single penny to an insurance company or healthcare provider. Less than £100 a month comes out of my paycheck, which funds the NHS. My prescriptions don’t cost a penny extra. For life.

                    How much do you pay per month? Whats your deductible? How much is your medication? Whats your insurance limit?

                    Considering you’re not insured the person least likely to have used the Canadian healthcare system here is… You

                    “here’s all the way I’ve used the system” “well, you dummies have never used the system”

                    You really do love lying. Do i need to remind you of my post that you responded to? Lets see, the last time I used the system… was 2 weeks ago, when I took my baby to the ER for an ear infection. That took 4 hours, which isn’t great and has room for improvement, but… you know, they got the care they needed at 0 additional cost.

                This is something that you can apply for in certain provinces. Under a mid-wife program.

                It’s not the same across the whole country though.

            Funny because the five years survival rate is pretty much the same in the USA and Canada, it just costs you a lot less in Canada 👍
