health care inflation

[cottonpicken]

O my god.

I ASSumed our health care inflation rate would be on
par with americas and maybe less because we don't
have the third party thing but this website says its
running at 15-20%.

That means our costs double every 4.6 to 3.5 years-
fkin DOUBLE!!!

People have no idea how expensive "free" stuff from government really is.

At what point does Medicare move to free enterprise? Currently, in Kindersley you can not see a Doctor unless it is an emergency. You can not get a physical, or get basic prescriptions filled. The system is broken.

Maybe should have made an emergency trip to mexico and could have got a weeks stay in a hotel all can eat and a never empty cup of drink choice thrown in.

Probably shouldn't have posted that,other numbers
have the rate at 7.4% from 1998-2008 and 4 % last
year.

But if its true at 200 billion a year cost that makes
400billion in 4.5 years,900billion in 9 years and 1.8
trillion in 13.5 years which is about 100% canada
current gdp.

Personally, I would love to be able to buy insurance to take care of my families own health care needs. But nope that's illegal in the Dominion.

Can we not buy insurance in the US and have our
surgery there?

[Fransisco]

Good question. I don't know.
