Hey Ed You should move to Canada. I could take you hunting, we could drink Canadian Club whiskey and if I accidently shot you, your health care would be free. What a country !

My wife and I travel to Canada at least once a year...they do so many things better than we do in the USA....the taxes are a bit high, but you get what you pay for, we've talked to many people in Canada during our many visits...ALL stated that they love their medical plans...Wayne you are a smart man and I agree with you 100%...folks here believe the Government is their problem and that's what big business wants them to think....the insurence companies among other lobbist own our politicions, both democrates and republicans, who are in truth BOTH on the same side, they play out this game for the public....good to hear from you...Ed Hill --- On Sat, 12/12/09, shephaven <shephaven@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: shephaven <shephaven@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Government run health care!!!! To: lealynn@xxxxxxx, showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Saturday, December 12, 2009, 6:20 AM How's it going, eh Up here, along with my Government run health care system, I have Blue Cross. I pay $18.00 per month. Also I pay $9.05 for each perscription, up until usually around Oct. when I am paid up for they year and them all my perscriptions are free. No deductable on anything, I repeat, no deductable. I have been with the same Dr. for nearly 50 years. His son mostly looks after me now. If I am hospitalized, no charge. If I need a Specialist, no problem. I simply get my GP to refer me to the one I need. Again, no charge. I would also bet that the waiting lists up here are not one bit longer than they are down there. I am sure that our Doctors are just as smart and just as qualified as yours. Most of us up here just don't understand you objections to a publicly run health care system. Ours is great. These insurance companies and drug companies are taking you people to the cleaners and you just don't seem to see that. Just look around and see who is getting rich. Sure glad I live in Canada.

I have Blue Cross PPO with a 3,000 deductable. (2500 + 500 Rx). 70/30 up to 10,000 max out of pocket. I currently pay 491.00 a month. Since I have a rare condition, I can go to a research/teaching hospital medical center and receive the best & latest treatments in the World. One of my specialists is from Canada. He says there's money for research here and that's why he's here instead of there. Thank goodness for private health care and capitalism that brings the brightest minds to our country. He only sees patients 1 morning a week so guess which ones he accepts? Oh...and my former Dr. that totally missed the cancer and then misdiagnosed me? Yes, he accepts Medicare so that's the quality of Drs that will be left.
