The Energy Efficient Home

thanks for the clarification, I appreciate your honesty in the matter.

while I am no medical professional, that is what my family doctor described to me before I left Barrie 7 years ago. you will forgive me if I take the word of my one time doctor over yours, but I will investigate to see if this is the case.

Dr Nesdoly described to me, from his POV, that GP’s have a cap as to how much they can make in a year and this was started back in the 90′s which served as a catalyst for our current brain drain in medicine, at least in Ontario.

I haven’t lived in ther states, visitied for a week or two here and there, but I do have family in the states, including an aunt who came up from St Vincent to New York, to get better access to doctors. I don’t remember whether it was heart disease or what she has, but she is doing well living in New York. All I know is when my family members get sick abroad most of them don’t come to Canada for quality health care.

HIV rates in the gay mens community in Toronto is disproportionally high. over 70% of all new cases occur in the gay mens community, yet I see no attempts to curb their dangerous behaviour ?

I wouldn’t personally either but I’m all for personal responsibility, and freedom, the pro governemnt types can’t make that same argument.

people work in far more dangerous workplaces where there lives are in more imminent danger, yet oil fields haven’t been shut down, neither have the nickel mines. Smoking ain’t good, but the dangers of 2nd and 3rd hand smoke have been greatly exaggerated in order for anti smoking crusaders to impose their morality on the rest of us. Hypocrits.

excatly freedoms were taken to improve our health, choices were taken away from the individual in the name of the state so it can save some money. Seeing a trend yet ?

Maybe you want to be babied and protected from every potentially dangerous thing, but I prefer a life if liberty where I have the freedom to make the right or wrong choice on my own, without govenrment interferance in my life.

How can someone working in a ciagr bar not know they will be exposed to heavy amounts of smoke ?

smokers for one, are now charged if they smoke in a car with any kid under 16 in the car. the first person to be charged a 17 year old kid with some friends in the car who were under 16. After the cops pulled the guy over to give him the charge, the girl who was 15 stepped out the car and lit up her own smoke.
We outlawed smoking in any bar or workplace, including cigar afficiando establishments
We forced our fast food companies to get rid of trans fats, which hurt the mom and pops most

so the problem is the system provides no relif for those who have been harmed, wronged, or abused by the system. That is the flaw when the government runs it. a lawsuit by families of nurses who died during SARS because of our subpar pandemic preparedness was just dismissed because the courts say the government (read hospital) cannot be held accountable. Is that justice to you ? Is that what you want ? Single payer is a crime because of that single fact alone

not just a lower maximum, government by way of the hospital is supporting the offender. the scenario I gave you about the botched delievry is real, it happened to one of my exes parents. Suing is allowed, but the system is set up to not allow you to win even if you have proof evidence and the turth on your side. I saw a family ripped apart by our health care system. handicapped newborn, divorce, and the girl I was dating at the time took is very hard. I will never forget that.

another is the cost of education, it costs so much and the debt you enter is so great, it is very hard for anyone to cover that debt on a GP salary. That si why everyone in Canada specializes, and since our government controls are so strict they move to the US or the UK or the West Indies to get paid better and pay off their debts sooner. Another issue is the cap a GP can make, which effectively pushes anyone away form being a GP, the porblems of government supplied single payer care.

you have to live here longer if you think this version is better. no one living here long enough thinks that. unless they neevr get sick, I mean if you haven’t experienced it, you wouldn’t know.

the problem is we have no recourse, you guys can sue, or get a doctor disbarred, our system is so in need of doctors you have to do something really messed up the loose your license.

I’ve lived in Canada for nearly 30 years, and it shames me that West Indian countries like Trinidad and Tobago can provide more effective adequate coverage than the country I was born in that hypes its universal sysetm that fails one tenth of the population.
