I laugh everytime someone brings up the negativity of healthcare in Canada..
i don't see any starving doctors where I live... which is Vancouver, by the way.. one of the highest (if not the highest) housing/living costs in all of Canada.
Doctors leaving their practices to do what... hang drywall?
CONservative governMENt
Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis
This is a Right Wing FEAR tatic.The doctors are still gonna get paid. Grant it some doctors are in for the money but the majority of them really give shit and enjoy helping people.
Exactly. And you know what would drastically decrease malpractice issues? Universal healthcare.
I've been thinking bout this post, help me out here, how exactly would this drastically reduce malpractice lawsuits?
The majority of the money paid out in malpractice lawsuits is to cover a lifetime of future medical care for the victim. If healthcare were already covered, this portion of the payout would go away. If payouts weren't so big, malpractice insurance need not be as outrageous as it is today.

The ones in it for the money are putting in fake tits and doing nosejobs. I doubt the the size of there pay packets will change at all. The rest of them will out there trying to save lives tomorrow and the next day. The single biggest load of bullshit I've heard when it comes to America's health care debate. :roll:

I see where you are coming from. However, it has been my experience in lawsuits (not malpractice, but involving needing medical care) that the biggest $ comes from not the medical care but the compensation for ...how to say it...a reduction in the quality of life...restrictions on what people can do going forward no matter what medical care the can receive. Permanent restrictions. I could be wrong.

that made me laugh.
and yea, seriously...i don't buy it. being a doctor will still be a VERY well paying profession. VERY. well. paying.
besides, i would kinda like to think that many became doctors b/c well....they also want to help people. naive thought, i know....but i do like to believe it. honestly, what is the 'incentive' for ALL the doctors around the globe who practice medicine? errr, think it's rather the same. sure, doctors here probably make more $$$, no doubt, but i don't think doctors elsewhere are actually receiving foodstamps either.
