Can I ask why she cannot get in to see a Dr? You didn't say for some strange reason.
My step farther happens to be a GP and IDK what he earns now but roughly 12 years ago it worked out roughly to $70 per 15 minutes. Would only be more now, so if you were alluding to a monetary compensation then you would be mistaken. We also have a GP shortage in the rural towns, cities and centres but not in the major cities were we have an over abundance of them.
Tell your Canadian friend to tell his mother just to rock up to a hospital or medical centre on a week day morning and they should get in to see a GP fairly quickly.
And Yes social countries do infact get a better health care result for less money. Its probably one of the reasons that citizens of countries with a social outlook are happier. Your Trump even said that Australia has a better health care system than America. Its on you tube somewhere, I believe
@doublejj posted it somewhere to.
I like having social healthcare. My mother in law who is stage 4 cancer moved states and into my home on Sunday. She had a 2 hr GP appointment on Monday. Going back to the practice today for blood tests etc and should be back on the Chemo train next week. All for $0 and of cause for a sick pensioner no monetary worries on top of her health concerns. Even her pills are heavily subsidized by the govt (Im sure the govt also negotiates a fair price for the pills with big Pharma to..). The people being looked after fairly by the people. What's so wrong with that?
Is it a perfect system? Of cause not but its a far better system than the alternatives. We even live longer.
