From Lesnar's comments, I can see he was one of those Americans that thinks their system is so great, also he cares only about himself and not the millions and millions of people in the United States that have no coverage at all because they can't afford it or have a pre-existing condition and the health insurance companies will not sell them any coverage. [...] the fun time - two different hospitals, two ambulance trips, emergency room, operating room, ICU for 24 hours.
I felt compelled to respond to Colleen Simard's column regarding what she terms the "bureaucracy" and red tape surrounding the approval/reimbursement process of Non-Insured Health Benefits from the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch. Simard states that "all those treaty rights our ancestors bartered, especially the medicine chest, are slowly deteriorating in today's world. I find Simard's readiness to critique the system of treaty benefits without mentioning any of the many advantages that it gives First Nations citizens over non-First Nations to be an unbalanced argument. In her article, Simard, in the process of harshly criticizing the FNIHB, unwittingly endorses the many services and benefits that it provides to First Nations citizens (i.e. dental care, vision care, prescription...

It's better for people to have inefficiently administered coverage than no coverage at all. But getting people into private health plans isn't the long-term solution to America's health-care problem. It is America's health-care problem. One reason overhead grew so fast is that insurance companies hired so many people. Employment at health insurance companies grew by 31 per cent between 2000 and 2005. Many of those employees were brought on to screen out high-risk patients, such as those likely to contract an expensive illness. That makes sense to companies because the more healthy people they insure, the less they pay out and the higher their profits. But it's inefficient for the health-care system -- as any doctor can attest -- not to mention cruel to people who can't get coverage.

Do we thank God that today's H1N1 is apparently not as deadly as the 1919 Spanish flu pandemic? As it stands, Canada is entering the height of its spread, unprotected. Consequently, millions of Canadians will miss six to 10 days of school or work -- adding insult to an already injured economy. Now that the vaccine has been made available, the vaccination clinics find themselves overwhelmed by the response as the panicked citizens are not following the priority list. Just what did Health Canada think was going to happen? Was this just some kind of test to see if people really listen? We have seasonal flu every year, and unfortunately some people who become infected die. There are always lists of people who are recommended to get vaccinated but there has never been anything like the propa...

Fellow Canadians, I write you as a now permanent resident of the U.S. to warn you to protect your precious national/provincial health-care systems. Do not let them start eroding your health-care system. I lived in Canada for 50 years, taking for granted what I had. Since I have been in the U.S., I have been unable to secure health care. I am not unhealthy, but I've been rejected because I haven't seen a doctor in the U.S.A. for two years. (Since when is that a bad thing?) Once you have a rejection on your file no one will sell you health care but you can qualify for the high-risk pool and pay about $700 a month for a type of high-deductible health care. Our daughter was rejected by the insurance companies because she wears a hearing aid, but the real reason (which they aren't allowed to...

The use of NAFTA's Chapter 11 to put medicare out of business -- more accurately, to make it a for-profit, private, and likely American, business -- has long been feared by medicare's supporters. They have never believed government assurances that NAFTA grandfathered medicare beyond the reach of foreign insurance companies and health maintenance organizations (HMOs) seeking to replace it with U.S. private for-profit medicine. [Eric Peterson] says government guarantees about medicare's security may have been valid "at least as (our health care system) stood in 1994 when NAFTA came into force... What's less clear, however, is whether the growing flirtation by various provinces with greater private financing and delivery of certain forms of health care is eroding Canada's legal defences......
