[QUOTE="klein, post: 577945, member: 23950"] I just searched google (using these words) "number of Canadians to US for medical " You will be surprised. The number of Canadians seeking medical in the states can be counted as a handful per year. Besides that, the newest US commercials are getting out of control, and lying about our system in Canada, and sooner or later one of our goverment officials will have to respond to that. What you see in your commercials is basically the same as " I can't believe it's not butter" ! I lived here for 34 years, I don't know of anyone that went to the states for treatment. Also lived in Germany, worked and lived with the german public, also don't know of anyone going to the US for treatment there. This is a headline of one of our newspapers today (also available online using same search words) [B]Canadians cry foul over U.S. healthcare attacks[/B] Wed Jul 29, 2009 8:50am EDT And this is what the IMF (International Monetary Fund) thinks about the US reforming healthcare: Directors underscored that addressing soaring entitlement costs remains the critical medium-term fiscal challenge. They welcomed the Administration’s focus on health care reform, emphasizing that the ultimate package should include substantial measures to reduce health care costs over the longer term, while aiming at budget neutrality in the short term. Directors underscored that the impact of cost control measures will need to be carefully monitored, and that additional measures should be taken promptly as needed. Directors also welcomed the Administration’s intention to work towards developing a political consensus for social security reform. [/QUOTE]
