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 have come to America for surgery. Canadian officials call much of what we may consider essential surgery as “elective.”
Before we accept our system to emulate Canada’s or that of the British, or any other universal health coverage version, remember health coverage does not automatically mean health care.(See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
