Let the Republicans say what they want about the Canadian health care system......., it's still 100% better than what they have in the States right now!
(Something is better than nothing!)
I'm sitting in one of the exam rooms at University hospital waiting to see a long line of nurses, technicians, doctors, surgeons and God knows who else, to get ready for my hip replacement surgery in a couple of weeks.
I still think that I am far too young to have arthritis problems, but as far as my health goes, I have been lucky over the years and have not had many reasons to go to the hospital.
Then a few years ago my hips started to give me trouble and this slowly worsened until I am now a cripple who needs a walker to get around.
The doctors tell me that after the hip replacement I should be good as new, and I look forward to being an active adult again rather than a hobbled old man.
But! I can tell you for sure that no matter how it turns out, or how my health will be affected by the surgery, I don't have to worry about how to pay for the damned thing!
The financial burden is something I don't have to contend with, and this makes for one hell of a comforting thought when there is more than enough on my mind already.
So, my dear friends,whether it's a good system or not, it sure beats the hell out of no system at all.

I am one of the looser (I call myself a bum, just sounds better then looser), but hey at least I am a category and have a neat little box lol!
Sorry could not resist!!
Free health dare, funded by those that have is what is right and proper!
I know gosh, two right off the top of my head who have had it, and probably can think of more if I tried....
Recuperating doesn't take long either!
Afterward watch out, you will be a spring chicken :0) Don't over due it now!
Wish you all the best!
oh, I didn't have to pay for them either. Medi-cal!
