Why do health care costs so much, it’s the drugs, and it’s the rent, equipment, doctors, and nurses we have to pay. The facts are, Drugs costs in Canada is much lower than that of the US, why because of our universal health care, we can negotiate with the major drug companies to get a huge discount. That’s why you see Americans come across the boarder to buy our cheap drugs. The hospitals in Canada don’t pay rent, because they own all their buildings. Canadian doctors are paid a fraction of what doctors gets paid in the US. (My sister who’s going to be a orthopedic surgeon who will make $200,000 CAN, would be able to make up to 1 Million US if she’s going to move to the US) that’s why we are having a shortage of doctors, because the doctors in the US are making much more money, and some of our Canadian Doctors are moving to the US.
Why that doctor in the US is can make more money than doctors in Canada? It’s simply; they charge more to the patients. Do you know that in US if you go for a check up its $400 us per visit? Do you know that 50% of the Americans #1 concern with the health care is it’s too expensive?
Taxes are not all bad; there are times it’s a good deal to pay more tax. I have a personal story to tell. I have a business in Ottawa, and Ottawa just passed the bylaw in May to no longer to pick up garbage for business. That will save the city $450,000 per year. The city is doing that because the pressure from the public to cut budget and keep the tax low. But for the city to save $ 450,000 it will cost business in Ottawa $3.5 millions to get their garbage picked up by private company. Consider Businesses are already paying 3-4 times more tax than regular residential unites. Is this a good deal for me? No. do businesses rather pay the $450,000 tax increase or pay $3.5 million out of their own pocket. Of course rather get a small tax increase, but that’s too late now. So there are times that paying tax can save you money. In a way I think that’s our health care, it would cost you more if you privatize health care.
When you think about universal health care, don’t just think about how many times YOU went to the doctor last year. Think about how many times your parents visited doctors, how many times your kids went to the doctors and how many times you will be visit the doctors when you get older.
Let me restate the facts.
Doctors in Canada are paid much less than the doctors in US. That Drugs costs in Canada are much less that Drugs in US. You are paying for you and your whole family and your futures health care.
The problem is not lying in the costs; the problem is some people are abusing the system. A small amount like $10 of user fee will stop most of the abusing.
We Canadians are getting a good deal with the universal health care.
