Quote:I have 2 cousins that live in Canada. One in Vancouver and the other north of Winnipeg.


What you describe is not what I hear from them..

 

My Dad is from WaWa Ontario he left at a very young age but his brother and father both talked about how they had to travel nearly a day away for medical attention or treatment in the 60's. My Uncle who is in a smaller town I believe in NewFoundland somewhere nearly died waiting for life saving surgery when I was younger. My Grandfather was a member of the wrong church and denied a work permit by the only doctor in the mining town who was a member of the right church forcing them to relocate to Wawa in the first place. My Fathers uncle did die waiting for medical treatment in the 80's. 

 

Like I said the urban Canadians LOVE the public health care, it's funded by the state income taxes mostly and almost all of the treatment is focused on highly dense areas. Now the rural Canadians ( a huge minority in Canada) hate it, there's no incentive for the doctors, clinics, or hospitals to even attempt to provide emergency much less routine medicine in the rural areas. It's still a problem today in Canada

I don't care where in the United States you are, there's medical treatment near by because there's an incentive to practice medicine here. Take that away and you end up with concentrated medicine in urban areas, but that's the plan move everyone into city-states.
