Canadian Health Care Myths
I think it’s quite obvious that the US needs some major health care reform. Many countries much poorer than ours do much better jobs at taking care of their people. You always here the horror stories of how bad the health care systems are in the UK and Canada. I have always questioned those stories. I have talked with Canadians, and none of them have any complaints about their health care. They actually think our health care is crazy. I just ran across this article debunking Canadian health care myths. I love articles debunking myths. I am sometimes over obsessed at finding the real truths. It’s always hard to tell who you should believe, but a little critical thinking goes a long way.

I would love to spend some time living in the USA, but I fear leaving Canada because I get such great healthcare here… and I hear horror stories about the American healthcare system. I think the main difference is that in the USA you need a job to have healthcare, right? In Canada you can be unemployed and still receive, for example, cutting edge chemotherapy or a heart transplant for “free”.

You don't need a job to get healthcare, you just need a job to have
affordable
healthcare, and not just any job. You need a pretty good job to get
cheeper health care. Mine is only $30
a
month for just me. If I were to add a kid or spouse it is close to
$200 a month. And that of course doesn't cover everything. I still
have to pay some when I go to the doctor.
