[quote:Anonymous Coward 24800428:MV8xODg0NjEwXzM0MjgyNDQzXzUxRjc1MkQ5] [quote:Mister Obvious:MV8xODg0NjEwXzMxNDcyMjg4XzY4MkNFMzg0] I think it depends on the seriousness of the situation... organ transplants, probably really hard if not impossible and may have to be sought elsewhere. But the little shit like on the fly doctors visits can be scheduled next day sometimes, if you don't just go to a clinic immediately (they have them in grocery stores). Most little shit is no problem at all, and a fuckton cheaper on the prescriptions side of things. Sudden shit like heart attacks though, if it's a blizzard outside, you might be fucked. Otherwise, you MIGHT get an ambulance... IF you live near some type of hospital. If not, you'd have to drive yourself or get the police to come and take you. Canada is some backwoods shit y'all. :1dunno1: [/quote] Dude, I had a minor heart attack in a backwoods bullshit Canadian town...I was stabilized in a great rural hospital, medivaced by helicopter to one of the five best cardiac units in North America, had two stents installed in a operating room that looked like a cross between starwars and a football stadium...and it did not cost me a nickle.

Here in the states we hear a lot of horror stories about the healthcare system in Canada. What do you think about it? Also anyone else from other countries with universal healthcare systems please chime in, I think France has it too.
