The health care system in the U.S. is a disgrace. Unless we get the insurance companies and big pharma out of the American health care system we will not have true health care reform. Thanks for your contribution to Take Charge of Your Health Care Carnival.

You know, I hate to see the media’s slant so often on people in Canada who can’t get treatment or have to wait till they die for scans… I don’t buy it! I just read a new study that most Canadians are satisfied with health care. Would you like to offer a comment on that? Ever wait or know anyone personally who had to wait for tests or scans and it cost them life altering minutes? I’d really like to hear a personal account from some Canadians!

That’s precisely why I’m glad I’m not American. In Canada, my primary physician, specialists, and hospital fees are paid for by the government through my taxes (incidentally we’re taxed at exactly the same rate that Americans are up to $125,000. Above that Americans are taxed at 35% and we’re only taxed at 29%) . In addition, in this province there is a provincially funded drug plan. Once I pay 3% of my net income for prescriptions, I only pay 20% of the cost after that. You Americans really need both health reform and health funding reform. Even among the insured Americans, 25% of the insured can’t afford their medical needs.
