Finding a doctor after you have Government health insurance is not as easy as passing a law offering health insurance to everyone. You have to pay them a decent wage for the skills they have. You cannot skimp with MDs.
About 1,500,000 Canadians don’t have or cannot easily find a primary care physician. Because of a shortage in medical staff in Norwood, Ontario, in one instance, a TV video showed a town clerk pulling names of lucky winners to see a doctor in a lottery. Losers had to wait .
That’s only one reason many sick Canadians come to America for surgery. Canadian officials call much of what we may consider essential surgery as “elective.”
Before we change our system to emulate Canada’s or any other universal health program, it would be a good idea to closely study their’s.
