Canada enacted a
Health Care System that was intended to have anyone eligible covered by some sort of medical insurance. It is also referred to as a "Medicare" platform. So far, it is working.. but with problems.
Our government is trying a 'copycat' process. But the process must be thought through completely, before enactment.. or many people will be pushed to the brink of bankruptcy because of it.
Our Federal payroll taxes have, for years, mandated a small stipend be put aside for worker's compensation. That process does work well.
But to have "one" medical insurance policy for everyone will definitely be a boondoggle.
But look at the real side of life. The price of food, clothing, whatever.. is rising weekly or daily. So too the cost of insurance, due to those who do not have or cannot afford the coverage. But do our wages?
A normal visit to a doctor's office can cost around $175.00 USD or so. A day in a hospital ward can cost in excess of $1,000.00! Does everyone have coverage for that? We who do, pay for those who don't.
Something must be done to equalize the imbalance.
F@H.. to solve mankind's maladies.. in our lifetimes!
