I am really happy with it. I DO think it would be best of all if there were also more private options, which people with enough money could take to avoid waiting or just to get premium service...that would in turn ease up congestion within the rest of the system.
But all in all, I prefer knowing I CAN get treatment, even if I have to wait (which I rarely ever do) to realizing that I CANNOT pay for the treatment I need (assuming I'm really poor and can't even afford insurance, etc) and just have to be resigned to die, should I get leukemia or...whatever.
But I'd like it best the other way I mentioned, knowing there was a FAST option and a FREE option. But given a choice between the two, I will definitely take the Canadian way over the US way.
Socialist, hun? I believe Empath_eia or someone on her LJ mentioned that someone from the US (or not from Canada anyway) informed them that they lived in a 'socialist hell'. Gosh, if this is hell, it's a pretty cool place to be!
*doesn't even know what socialist means, though she can guess* Is it the opposite of capitalist? Oh you know, I don't care what it means anyway. I do just fine living in my bubble, in fact, I'm wretched on the rare occasion I try to peek my head out, so I'm staying in here! *zips extra tight*
