I've been to the hospital in Canada, in Montreal to be exact. I left hobbling on my broken leg after 13 hours waiting with no service. Thank God I was only a short drive from the U.S.A.
Oh? So you mean to say you came to a country you don't live in, and lost out on the benefits you didn't pay for? No Way!
Let me guess, next you want to be given free money for entering the country?
The problem is that usually the people who are at very low risk are the ones with money. The poor people who can't afford proper health care are the ones that lose. Why should their life be worth less than the next? A country that moves together, gains together. I'm no socialist, don't get me wrong, I believe in free enterprise and minimal taxing. But when it comes to subsidized healthcare, its more than dollars and cents, its more than 'whats mine is mine', its human life man. Why should someone get cancer treatment because they have money? Is a poor man's life not worth it? Is he deemed worthless because he has no insurance company standing behind him paying off all his health care costs?
