Single Payer blues...

[callmeslick]

post what you want, my point is that your post proved nothing, and inferred something that Fats gutted like a fresh-killed deer.

That little article is from the UK....
fattie is in the AUS....

Here's a little dab fer you and R_D:


And you still ain't proved yer fabricated false accusation of "cherry picking"...
That's my point.
You're still standing around with yer thumb up yer butt, "cherry picking" a dodge.
All of course.....nicely.

but Fats lives with 'Single Payer' as does Res, and Nic. You don't. BTW, the grandkids LOVE Curious George.

Well yer partially correct on that....and still dodging "cherries".
Same principal, different plans.
"They" say....we have ObamaCare. 5.5+ million don't and won't by Jan 1.
So, no argue from me.....Everybody mentioned here has more care than them.

Single pay ain't the same everywhere.
What I posted was from England/UK.

Out to google....

:Still no proof anything was "cherry picked".

It was cherry picked from the e-mail you got that day.
What do you want Slick to do? Hack your e-mail account?

[Reservoir_Dog]

what further proof do you need than to read less than a dozen examples from a system that processes MILLIONS of treatments per year?

Stop it, Slick.
You'll make his brain explode!

No, I don't.
Get your facts straight.

actually, he was quoting me, and you are correct. Canada's system is a sort of subsidized payer approach. As I understand it(and feel free to set me straight), multiple insurers pay the claims, but the government pays the premiums and co-pays. You all cover that payment with tax monies.

The Canadian government provides health care to every living Canadian citizen. If you go see your doctor, or have to go to the hospital, or need treatment for an illness, you are covered. You don't have to bring any money with you and you will not receive a medical bill. (ambulances are excluded. you'll get a bill for $65)
There is nothing stopping any Canadian citizen from purchasing EXTRA coverage. For example: The Canadian health care system does not cover dental and does not cover the cost of prescriptions. If you want dental coverage or prescriptions coverage you have to buy it. And we have a choice between many, many, many different insurers.
Personally, I have the coverage that my government provides me at no cost (via taxes of course) which means that I will NEVER be denied health care if I need it. I have a health plan that I pay for out of my own pocket for extra coverage, and I also have extra coverage through a health plan that my employer pays for under our group health plan.
Basically, I'm covered. Top to bottom.

The monkey has responded and again he's wrong.
I didn't get it by email. Got it by Google. You should try it some time.
If y'all were able to hack my email?
You'd learn quite a bit...hell, I'm tempted to just give ya the password...
