Who wants Medicare For All?

[rog]

30. I don't know - I could ask my sister - but here's what I found just now.

There's a lot of info out there about Canadian Health care ... sounds like a pretty good deal to me. And note that certain dental services are covered ... and if I'm not mistaken, they've added vision coverage (I'll have to check into that one).

My sister has never had a problem accessing health care for herself or her kids. Her daughter now has 2 kids, and no problem there, either.

When her son was a kid, he broke his ankle snowboarding off the roof of their house ... the only medical bill was that they had to cough up $6 to rent the crutches.

The publicly funded health care system provides coverage for primary health care services, from diagnosis to recovery. These services include first-contact services provided by a physician or other health providers such as a nurse practitioner.

The health care system also covers medically necessary services provided in hospitals.

The provinces and territories also provide additional coverage to certain population groups, such as:

seniors
children
people who receive social assistance

This additional coverage helps pay for health care services that are not fully covered by the publicly funded health care system. Services include:

home care
vision care
dental care
prescription drugs
ambulance services

People who don't qualify for additional benefits under government plans pay for these services:

on their own or
through their own private health insurance plans

Health care services that are not insured under a provincial or territorial plan include:

cosmetic services
private duty nursing services
testimony by a physician in court
medical certificates for work, school or insurance purposes
preferred hospital accommodation unless prescribed by a physician
