Most of urgent care facilities have limited hours, just like one in Canada.[/quote]
Limited hours is not the same as taking the weekend off. How many urgent care do you know that have the weekend off?
[quote=air_ogi]If hospital treats me and I don’t pay, other patients will pick up my tab. That is pretty much completely ineffective socialized medicine.[/quote]
Yes, that sucks and ineffective. We must fix this issue. Right now, there are a lot less doctors who want to be primary care physicians, since they don’t get paid very much. So everybody specialized. How about allow NP & MA to offload some of those stress?
[quote=air_ogi]Other than your anecdote, there is very little evidence that US hospitals treat patients better than equivalent ones in Canada.[/quote]
Anecdote is all I got. Do you have better data from independent sources?
[quote=air_ogi]
And finally, 82 per cent of Canadians believe their system is superior to US.[/quote]
How many American think our system is better than Canadians? How many Republicans think their ideal is better than Democrats’? How many Democrats think their ideal is better than Republicans’? How many American comes to Canada to get treated vs how many Canadian comes to America to get treated?
