Teacher Posts Salary on Facebook, Asks Why She's Paid so Little Even With a College Degree

VA Hospital, ever hear of it? It is a good example of Universal Health Care. They had their own special death panels. You can have it, I have experienced the Canadian system and the VA first hand.

 

I shot down every point you tried to make and that's the best response you could come up with? Face the facts: no nation can afford to provide universal healthcare AND be a dominant player in the world. Short of maybe Isreal (out of necessity, with mandatory service requirements for citizens and still a lot of help from us), that list didn't contain a single country with a military powerful enough to defend its own borders without calling in their allies (us) to bail them out. Either they are surrounded by friendly nations, an ocean, or we have a military presence there. If the US suddenly had to stop playing world peacekeepers in order to provide universal healthcare here without taking too big of a chunk from working people's paychecks, how long do you suppose most of those countries would survive? Hell, Greece is already bankrupt and taking bailouts.

 

No sir. It's not the best response that I can come up with. It's just come to a point to where I have to leave it alone.

 

Russia has universal health care since ‘96.
Cuba has state run. Our city had Cuban doctors here a few years ago to orientate them with some of the medical equipment we were donating when upgrades done at local facility. A few shipping containers donated.
Maybe the gov’t could at the least pony up with universal health care for the victims of weekly mass shootings
Trauma surgery costs can just get way out of hand for the common man/student

 

I was up in Penetanguishene ON years ago, listening to the local AM station heading into the shipper. The local hospital was having a pancake breakfast to raise funds to purchase an EKG machine. There old one broke, and they had no funding to purchase a new one. And don't get me started on my time in surgery at Hutzel Hospital in Detroit where I was employed as a scrub nurse in orthopedics and plastics. Our #1 clientele was Canadian, as were the bulk of our nurses, who worked on our side for the health insurance.

 

What is wrong with community raising funds for medical equipment? That's how our local hospital bought the cat scan.
Our health care systems allows us to go to USA if there are delays in receiving prompt health care locally.
Medical staff might be Canadian in Detroit to supply the need for qualified staff but they sure as #### won't live there

 

They take up donations for the equipment then charge out the rear when they use it.

 

You just don't get it. Patients don't pay for MRI, CATSCAN, X-rays, blood work. Its charged back to the healthcare system.
Full MRI in Ontario is charged back to system at $723 CDN,,,compared to $900 USD in Minnesota for the same service

 

There needs to be more teachers in the system that actually care about teaching students.

 

Dude, an EKG machine? Seriously? And my dispatcher's wife, they are Canadian, she works as a nurse in Detroit for the very same reason.
