Default Re: Canadian Health Care

There is no front of the line situations here.. There are a few places set up with some diagnostic machinery that can be accessed by paying high prices if you don't want to wait but nobody in the ER (or doctor's office or clinic) is seen on any basis other than the medical emergency that brought them there,..not how they paid into the health care system or how much money they do or DON't have or if they even have a job.
I just recently read that health care dollars spent in the U.S. per person equals around 7 grand as opposed to just over 3 grand here in Canada.
I'll have to remember where I read that...
