That's not a direct comparison. If someone forges a check I call the bank and have the checks cancelled. If someone malicious gets your bank account password there is no telling what they could do, or if you would even find out about it right away.
The difference is that a Lamborghini is an optional part of life and life itself isn't. Pretty disgusting actually that you think the two are a valid comparison.
Us Canadians pat each other on the back a lot and say, 'hey, thanks for the healthcare'.
Seriously though, I will remind you that the same thing happens with private insurance. A person who has cancer twice will never pay back the full amount of the treatment. The money from that doesn't come from the insurance company.
What does this say about the many people who fall for the 'free internship' scam? They don't even have a right to start working off their debts immediately.
In fact, I would argue that the goal of a nation should be to have the happiest people with the lowest GDP. Too much constant stress to produce takes people away from the meaningful things in life. Why have a population that works more than it has to?
I happily pay my taxes knowing that:
A) Every time I have gone to the hospital (including life threatening issues) I have never been turned away and I have been seen in a timely manner, and
B) I haven't gone bankrupt because of it
Yes ACA got rid of lifetime caps or their ability to penalize for pre-existing conditions, blah blah blah. But for how long? The long and short of it is that these companies are blood thirsty sharks and will continue to lobby for these rules to be lifted. Their solitary goal is to rid you of all your money and they will not stop until they do so.
What are you talking about? The insurance company makes the decision based on the doctor's recommendations for that patient. There is no "guideline". What narrow thinking.
As far as I know, there is nothing preventing a person from moving to the US after getting such skills. If said person goes into the field to train, not understanding who gets what where then that's hardly anyone else's fault.
Furthermore, so America gets the people who want to get rich off the misfortunes of others and Canada keeps the people who genuinely want to heal those around them. Sounds like a great deal to me.
The only reason they ever say that is when they feel the treatment would be worse than the effects from the cancer. I knew a person who denied chemo because she couldn't handle it, and she is only in her 60s. Being on chemo is not pretty. Being on radiation is not pretty. You have to have fortitude to go through it.

And if we gave them free healthcare, it would still be bad to be poor so you don't have to worry about anyone one-upping your social status.
Cite references that people who "take care of themselves" are illness free. Cite any kind of direct relationship at all, you won't find it.

If that theory were true then the headline would be "Rich people don't get cancer".
...also if you a citizen of a single payer nation.

And if they didn't have a misfortune, would they be curing them?

My wife got cancer two times and was in surgery the next week both times.
Is this in Canada?
Also.... does anyone remember when companies paid for training?

I mean in the case of Canada it would be the doctors' decision to make with the patient. Wow sounds so crazy doesn't it?

Yet the citizens of those countries still manage to live happier and longer. Apparently GDP isn't needed for either.

On the contrary, life is easier in a single payer system. You don't need to worry about shopping for insurance.

In my family a single person has had cancer twice and another member had a serious autoimmune issue.
Any of these staff are free to move into the American system and in fact many do.
