People wait up to 3 hours for an ambulance in NS. They better fix that…
I was more or less disparaging it, because it's a problem across the whole country. Here in BC you can't get a GP, the Walking Clinics are overrun. If you don't show up before it opens and get in line, you're probably not going to see a Doctor that day. The only real thing people can do is to to emergency at the hospital and spend 5 hours trying to see a Doctor. The only other option is to use one of the various apps that let you consult a Doctor via videochat (which can work amazingly well for things like renewing a prescription) but other than health care is pretty rough here.
I'm not sure this is something fixable. It probably needs a few things. The first is that many Doctor's only want to be Doctor's. GP's here have to run their own clinic. People going to med school don't want to deal with that. Their choosing careers where they get a salary and benefits and don't have to run their own business. When you factor all the expenses of running a business you make more choosing a career that pays a salary with benefits. I think if the government want to solve the Doctor issue, they would need create their own government run clinics and change how they pay. All of which would cost the government more money. Money they probably don't have to spend. Ergo I doubt any goverment in our country is going to figure that one out.
We've had massive immigration the past 15 or 20 years, but we haven't scaled up the Doctors with it, so there's an overall Doctor shortage.
It's only going to get worse. The oldest boomers are only just getting to the age where they need a lot more health car, but it's got a 20 year tail on it. As the population hump ages into health care it's going to get worse and worse :( No matter what the government does, I'm not sure they'll be able to keep up with it. IE any thing they do to try and change it probably won't keep pace with the demand :(
This is actually not at all my experience with healthcare in BC.... I think it must also very much depend on what city you live in or something. Yes, there is a pronounced lack of family GPs Canada-wide for sure (especially female GPs, since all women want a female doctor), but I actually have no problems at all seeing the same docs at a walk-in clinic - it is basically just as good as having a family doctor. Especially now that they do appointments by phone, and then just ask you to come in by appointment if your issue calls for it. And I have only ever received excellent care once I have needed to see specialists in hospitals, or need scans, etc. I never wait long, the quality of care is exceptional. And I have noticed real improvements coming from the BC NDP. They've really stepped up so far, and still have a lot more planned (including increasing the number of family doctors).
I agree that I've had good experiences with telehealth access to care, particularly with the expansion during the pandemic.
I disagree that "all women want a female doctors" - in my experience there are still quite a few old-school women out there who believe that male doctors are more skilled and respectable .
I am lucky enough to have a GP. This year I had three different health issues that resulted in being referred to specialists for further assessment. None of the wait times were excessive, I got necessary investigations in a timely way, and luckily everything turned out fine (phew!).

I have a question for those of you with a couple of laps around the sun. My last duty station when I was in the USN was Whidbey Island WA in the mid 1990's and we a detachment of Canadian Navy personnel at our facility. They loved using our base medical facilities and had nothing but bad stuff to say about the Canadian medical system. Their complaints are the same as the ones I have been reading about on here; long waits, inefficient, etc. Has the health care situation there gotten better or worse in your opinion from years ago?

Our healthcare has gotten worse over the years.
long waits for elective surgery constant dr. shortages Hallway medicine (when a hospital has no room) ER wait times can be 6 - 8 hour waits
Our system is chronically underfunded.
We have a federal election going on and not much mention of healthcare.
but the feds have all kinds of money to pay parents child benefit welfare every month plus some massive 100 billion daycare Scheme.
and once the baby boomers are mostly senior and start using more services then I suspect the system will be under intense pressure…
I am in Ontario, so the healthcare here is not the worst. I have a family doc. But the smaller provinces suffer more.

Definitely. In the 90's I didn't have a hard time finding a family Doctor. Even when I moved to the next city over around 2000 to go to university, I had no problem finding one. Family Doctor's have now become scarce, walk-in clinics overrun, and the only options left are going to emergency, or using an app to consult a doctor over videochat.
It feels pretty rough to me. My main concern is that if your fucked you can go to emergency and they'll help you, but you don't have a doctor to do things like get an annual checkup, or recommend a prostate exam, or whatever maintenance doctors are supposed to do when you get older.
It makes me wonder how many people are going to have issues because they don't get proper care until something has progressed to the point they're fucked :(
I think that's the only point our system shines. If you're fucked they'll figure it out. If you're not truly fucked, then not so much.

Manitoba is at a breaking point right now. One of our main hospitals, very close to me, has been seeing up to 15 hour wait times. One person went into cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated in the waiting room in front of all the other people. Summer is generally busier than any other season (broken bones from outside activities, heatstroke, etc), but it's never been this bad.
Doesn't help our idiotic CONSERVATIVE government closed one of our ER's recently and converted it to an urgent care-only facility.

You're asking this question 18 months into a pandemic that has had a major impact on the health care systems around the world, so that's going to colour the answers. Many hospitals are struggling, there can be long waits in the ERs, staff are overworked and burned out, elective surgeries have been delayed, sometimes indefinitely, and there's no end in sight. The need to alter essentially all aspects of day to day procedures adds tremendous time and hassle to everything that has to be done in health care right now, which I think is something that doesn't get recognized if you don't work in the system.
On a larger scale, I think that the issue with shortage of family doctors is the major negative change over the years. Pre-pandemic, things had been improving with respect to wait times for elective procedures and such. Quality measures for non-elective procedures have always been good. Covid has been a major drain on health care dollars and has taken the focus away from almost everything else - but no one here goes broke because of health care costs.
I also think that most people would prefer to use one-stop shopping base medical facilities, assuming the quality there is good, because it would be more convenient.

The pandemic has impacted it for sure. It is doing the same here in larger areas and areas with high COVID numbers. I was thinking more of overall in the years since I was around the Canadians. It seems from the responses that it is easier to get into a Dr. in the US, but once you do, you often have to jump through hoops to get the insurance companies to approve procedures and then hope you can find a provider that is in your network or will take the insurance you have. And you are correct, the cost of medical services, even with decent insurance is out of hand.

Brock Lesnar (WWE/UFC) has a cottage in my province and goes hunting up here. He came down with a serious case of diverticulitis and was hospitalized and actually nearly died (his account). After he recovered and went back to the States, he infamously kept telling anyone that would listen that Canadian health care is what he imagined would be third world health care.
I suppose if you don't get all that money can buy, you call it "third world". LOL.

To be fair I don't think we rank all that high, when you compare our health care system to other countries that have socialized care.
The US is a tough comparison because if you have the $$ it's amazing, the issue is when you don't.
Comparing ourselves to our peers (other countries with socialized care) we don't compare all that well
All parties are throwing around house money and promising everything. We all know most of these promises never come to fruition and they are not held accountable. kudos to the Conservative who won in the Maritimes. He acknowledged the lack of spending and empty promises on healthcare that have accumulated and vowed to clean those issues up first. Said something like “cleaning up the unpaid bills already on the table”Hopefully he comes through

The finance minister of a G7 country manipulating video. Pretty sad. But not surprising from a party who’s leader does not remember how many times he wore blackface…
In fact, the full video is more than two minutes long and in it, O’Toole stressed that universal health care is paramount. In fact, he said the opposite of what Freeland claimed.
The Liberals had surreptitiously edited the video down to make it seem O’Toole had said something he hadn’t.
For the Liberal war room, it was a disaster. Even Liberal-friendly news outlets like the CBC and the Toronto Star ran critical stories about what Freeland had done. Twitter, for its part, has refused to remove the warning — which its rules say is done in cases where information has been “significantly and deceptively altered or manipulated.”
Did Trudeau apologize for his team’s deception? Did he retract?
Not on your life. Trudeau retweeted Freeland’s disinformation — and then doubled down.
What the fuck, CBC? And they’re (CBC) are apparently in charge of fact-checking Facebook during the election? They really keep making arguments in favour of their defunding (at least the “news” division).
And for clarity, my comment was regarding Freeland’s tweet and how it got 2 sentences on The National. And an explanation would be nice.

I actually support the CBC in principle, I just wish they could be truly nonpartisan in their news coverage. They’ve actually produced a number of good shows over the years (my own main favourites being Wayne & Shuster and The Kids In The Hall). I truly believe they (CBC) do a good job of promoting Canadian culture (such as it is, lol).
I’ll allow the private media companies their bias, but not the state-funded broadcaster. It’s right up there with the public service applauding Trudeau after his 2015 win.

I'm also not against funding the CBC. Generally I feel the biggest waste of money are the other major Canadian networks. The only thing they really bring to the table are news broadcasts. Everything else that's decent is US content they purchased and slapped their ads over. They have to make cancon, but aside from news, none of it's worth watching. Yet they get all sorts of protections from our government.
I kind of wish we just focused the effort into CBC, tried to make it non-partisan, and removed support for Bell/Rogers (aka Global, CTV, etc..).
