Canadian Healthcare System

[Old-Skool]

This person is not only illiterate and incomprehensible, but there is obviously much more to this story . Sorry to my American friends but we have excellent health care available to all, including "The Hospital for Sick Children" ; one of the top paediatric centers in the WORLD. I live in Toronto.

As I said, I support universal healthcare, but I wouldn't call it a basic human right, I think that's a line we shouldn't cross.

Otherwise, what stops the goverment from claiming housing is a human right? What about food, wouldn't it be great if food was a human right and everyone was entitled to it? This logic can lead to communism, IMO.

I know that's not what you meant, but I think that good intentions can be twisted by corrupted individuals.

Maduro, president of Venezuela, has been saying for years that housing is a human right, and that a house is not an asset, as it is in capitalist societies.

Sounds good on paper, but an annual inflation of 1 million per cent, starvation, censorship, mass killings and repression are no joke.

True. It can be a slippery slope. But yes, I think every US Citizen that works or has a real reason why they can’t work, shouldn’t starve to death. And yes, if you dying you should be able to get basic health care. I’m not talking free RXs or organ transplants or anything. Just not dying, if it can be helped.

It's a very bad idea.

I assume that by salary you mean any type of income, whether is wages, stocks, dividends, etc., since a cap in wages can be easily circumvented.

Take tech startups as an example. The risks are huge, but so are the rewards. Put a cap in how much money they can make and you're basically killing Silicon Valley.

No more Ubers, no more Netflixs, no more innovation.

I've seen something similar being implemented in social democracies, but instead of being redistributed among workers, it was taken by the goverment.

It’s a price control. On the other end of the spectrum as opposed to minimum-wage which leads to shortages of jobs at the lower end. A salary cap leads to a shortage of labor at the higher end. When the surgeon reaches the cap he just stops working for the rest of the year.

Don't they already? Noone is allowed to just simply die.

When I didn't have health insurance right out of college and was making maybe $10/hr they decreased my bill so dramatically that I sometimes wonder if health insurance is worth what I pay right now monthly. I was able to pay for it even with such a low wage due to responsible spending habits. My guess is that the rest of the bill was made up by what those who have insurance paid. I even got reamed out for not having it by one of the hospital employees.

Not supposed too, but they do. Hospitals get the patients to stand, say they can walk, and discharge them out of the hospital bed. Many die for not getting adequate care. But ERs also have the hard job of separating the real patients with needs and the pill heads just trying to get a fix.  Plus dealing with not getting paid at the same time.
Anyway, health insurance gets more important the older you get as do careers that offer great benefits.
I didn’t have health insurance in college either. Didn’t need it for the most part, then I got one doctor visit, and holy fuck, own them a shit ton.

If a person can afford it, then private health care and health insurance is by far the best option.

Personally, I wouldn't trust a government hospital. Would only use one if I had no choice.

Long queues, waiting lists, and not being able to choose your doctor or specialist, and basically you don't have much say in anything.

They aren't going to legally allow me back - but they won't have me arrested when I go to campus either.

So they are trying to avert the considerable legal action success I would have against them should the matter go to court.

I was using a local lawyer's office for my case with LU, but the head of the office was disbarred last month. 

I am going to outline my terms to LU, and the university will abide by my terms.  I will simply leave a statement saying that if they have any problems with my terms, to find a way to communicate with me those terms.  If the terms are unreasonable, I will not be abiding by them.

Example: I mostly need LU on evenings now [I wake up at around 2pm daily], so I will commit to ensuring I spend most of my time on campus when its pussy administration is gone home [since these pussies are so scared of me].  Also, I am with my children most of the time on campus [at least lately].  I can commit to bringing them more often...but if they want to trespass me while I'm with my children, that won't be happening.

Ultimately, I'm at a point where I have openly extorted Lakehead University.

Administration has taken no legal action.

I trespassed on campus dozens of times.  All on camera, with Facebook posts about a half of those times.

Administration has taken no legal action.

I have just been lazy in sending them the one final letter I had for them outlining exactly how things will go down from here on out.  Once I send that, I will be on campus much more often.

I have been playing the university very well, and everything has been in my favour so far.

Keep in mind that in addition to Lakehead firing me for being a White male, and later committing that to record accidentally [but now officially on record in my legal case material], they also had me "arrested" on campus by security and subsequent assault.

A civilian arresting a civilian and not proceeding to call 911 is not a misake.

It's assault.

It's also against the law.

And on video in HD - twice.  With one video being shot by my Canon T6i.

Remember guys: revenge is a dish best served cold.

So why did they fire you?

At the end of the day, there are two systems. The price system (the free market) and the line system, (government). The former can make you go broke, the latter can make you go dead.

Just don't get sick or injured and you'll be fine.

Don't worry, be happy.

As a senior, I am covered by Medicare. I've chosen to add Regence MedAdvantage PPO which covers some things at a higher level than would Medicare alone. This year, Medicare monthly premiums are $135.50 to which I add $41.00 for the enhanced coverage. I believe these premiums are considerably less than the cost of single person coverage was through my former employer 9 years ago.
