While I wait for Gov LePage to remove his foot from his throat - he bypassed his mouth this time, I will ask - who are these people streaming down from Canada to the US for health care? And do they pay their hospital bills or turn tail and run for the border once they are treated??? Or did Paul get it wrong, AGAIN?

The IRS is planning on killing people here and you Canadi=ans are adding tot he problem...I think...I heard...hmmmmm

Watch out for the Gestapo while replying, gnu.

well living as close to the border as I do, the only streaming I see is the Canadian's shopping because your dollar is very strong and they can get good deals on clothing ...

and the merchants welcome them for sure as we all do. As far as health care, None of my doc friends would agree. It ain't happening and why would it.

From what I know, Canadians purchasing health care in the US for the most part are those unwilling to wait in line for non life threatening, elective procedures for which there is a waiting list. This is one of the drawbacks of universal, tax supported health care but IMO is a very small price to pay to ensure that everyone has equal access to quality health care.

People who can afford it go to a great variety of different places to get some specific medical treatment they want at some specific clinic, from some specific doctor, maybe an alternative form of treatment to what they would get in their own country or community....

And so they go to France, Italy, Cuba, Mexico, Canada, the USA, Sweden, Germany, Japan...whatever. The go if they can afford it, and if the specific thing they want is available there in that country.

It has nothing to do with any flood of people going from Canada to the USA. It happens all over the place for a great variety of reasons, and it involves just a few people, all of whom have their own reasons.

To say this is no reflection at all...pro or con...regarding the viability of universal, tax-supported health care as exists in Canada and numerous other countries.

It sounds like your governor is cherry-picking a few specific cases of Canadians going to the USA for treatment to try to prove some sort of scary political point he has dreamed up which probably has no basis in reality.

In other words, he's spreading false propaganda to try to scare people off the idea of publicly funded universal health care. All he has to do, I imagine, is utter the word "socialism", and they run screaming in panic! ;-)

Lets say you are Canadian. Why do I keep thinking about Kevin O'Leary? You are rich and are sick. You can stay in Canada wait your turn behind all the people who are equally sick but not as rich, and go where the system sends you, fairly like everybody else.

Or you can go to the US, flash your money and to a degree at least, choose the flashiest facilities and best advertised doctors that your money can buy.


Look at it this way, some people always want the best. They Drive a ferrari, wear Armani, belong to exclusive country clubs, have the beat boats etc. They are used to demanding a little extra and paying for it.

You can't do that in the Canadian Health care system. So they fly to the Mayo, or Hopkins or where ever and they pay enough so that the MD's treat them as well as they are treated at the Lexus dealership.

Exactly. Like I said, those who can easily AFFORD it will go wherever the hell they want to for medical care or anything else...and that might be to the USA, France, Cuba, Japan, Germany, Italy...whatever suits their desire.

That's what it's like to be independently wealthy.

The whole point of a universal publicly funded health care system is that the 98% of the public who CAN'T afford emergency health care will have access to it anyway...and it won't put them into bankruptcy.

The way the political Right talks in the USA, you'd think that there was no one living there except millionaires, because that's whose interests their line of talk appears to have relevance to. And yet...millions of Americans who aren't millionaires fall for it! That's the really unbelievable part, but it's a result of a popular culture that believes a whole set of primitive mythology...pretty much like an extreme fundamentalist religion, it's an attitude based on blind faith alone, not on any actual knowledge or experience of anything.

Little Hawk,

We are kind of on the same page, but I don't think it is a matter of Afford vs not. Lots of people who can afford to get treatment in the US do not. But lots of people who can afford Mercedes are driving Fords and Chevys.

It is the feeling of entitlement and the need to feel in control that is driving this phenomenon. I think.

I have long thought that Canada should have a so called two tiered system that catered to the rich. If only to compete with other major countries for the medical tourism dollar. To keep those dollars at home and to attract such dollars from the USA and elsewhere. But I realize that the overwhelming all-encompassing Canadian sense of propriety would make that near impossible.

That's a very interesting point, Jack. I think you're right about "the feeling of entitlement and the need to feel in control" that is motivating certain individuals among the wealthy. I've seen rich people who had that grandiose feeling of entitlement...I've seen others who didn't see themselves as any different from other people.

As for your suggestion about Canada adopting a two tiered system of medical care with one tier that caters to the rich...yeah, sounds like not a bad idea to me. That way if they wanted to feel like Penelope Rutledge or Henry Kissinger (so to speak) and they are willing to pay for it, then they can have their own special clinics and special conditions...at a price. Heck, with some people, the higher the price, the better they like it. It makes them feel "special".

If it was a slick enough system, then it would draw the medical tourism dollar from all over the world, just as you say....and that is what happens with certain prestigious medical clinics in the USA.

a few years ago there were a lot more americans flooding to ontario from nearby states for the health care they couldn't get at home. there was a brisk traffic in faked ontario medicare cards. there was a crack down, but wierdly(i say that because the hypocratic oath doesn't mean much in america any more) ontario hospitals will not turn away a person who is really ill , if they show up at emergency, no matter where they come from. they might not get medicare coverage now but they would get a provincial welfare coverage program, to protect the hospitals need for fees. however they get treatment.

the estimate io read in the toronto star was that over fifty thousand americans had faked medicare cards for treatment in ontario. the truth is that's a lot more than the "flood" of canadians to the usa for health care.

the last few times i've been in the us people are amazed that my drugs are covered by the health care system(or were in ontario)the ontario system caps what you have to pay each year then the drug plan kicks in. i like our health care system. its never let me down. if i have to wait occasionally who cares. when i had a broken bone they treated me in about a hour from the time i showed up at emergency. and no wallet biopsy. i had a meeting with a bone specialist to determine if i needed a pin in about two hours and it was set and i was out the door four hours after srriving. a friend of mine had a bone break in florida and he was out two days later with a bill for $ sixteen thousand dollars. he negotiated them down some but it was ten grand before he went home. he didn't see a specialist the first day there.

To avoid waiting in lengthy lineups, you bring a dog and a can of shaving cream. Spray shaving cream all around the dog's muzzle. Then start yelling, "Look out! Mad dog! This dog has rabies!" Everyone runs away, you walk up to the counter and get yer beer without a wait.

Shane has tried this. He ended up getting arrested for creating a public nuisance...and for dognapping. But most people are way smarter than Shane and they would use their own dog, so I'm bettin' you or I could get away with it...

...and it works even better with a live skunk...preferably one that's been de-scented. You release the skunk suddenly from a box. The line will vanish like a snowflake in a blast furnace. That's what Shane should have done instead of borrowing the neighbour's dog.

This guy is an idiot who is just wrong.




For the second time in five days, Maine Governor Paul LePage compared the IRS to the Gestapo, and warned the agency "was headed in the direction of killing a lot of people."

On Thursday, Governor LePage elaborated on comments he made last weekend in a radio address.

"What I am trying to say is the Holocaust was a horrific crime against humanity and, frankly, I would never want to see that repeated. Maybe the IRS is not quite as bad — yet."

He then added: "They're headed in that direction."

Paul Heintz of The Seven Days asked the Governor if he had "a sense of what the Gestapo actually did during World War II."

"Yeah," LePage responded. "They killed a lot of people."

"And so the IRS is headed in that direction?" Heintz asked.

"Yeah," the Governor said.

"They're headed in the direction of killing a lot of people?" Heintz asked again.

"Yeah," LePage said.

"Wait, are you serious?" Heintz asked in a follow-up.

"Yeah, I'm very serious," the Governor added.

Gov. LePage went on to explain that he was concerned about rationing.

"They ration health care in Canada, that's why a lot of people in Canada come down to the U.S.," he hold Heintz. "I'm saying the federal government is taking away the freedoms of Americans to make choices."

LePage's comments are so completely moronic that they're hardly worth responding to in a serious manner. He's either intent on dishonestly spreading false propaganda and creating more American mythology about the "evils of socialism" in Canuckistan and other such distant places or he's just, as Jack says, an idiot.

Maybe both. ;-D

""Shoot 'em all, I say! Then draw 'em, pluck 'em, stuff 'em an' eat 'em! Serve 'em right!""


Well, at least you did not say "fricassée those Canadian socialists and serve them up with grits".

It's kind of you to "go somewhat soft" on the harmless and mellow frostbacks (not to be confused with the "typical boring Englishman" or "the uppidy European crepeman".

Could USA folks be experiencing a Canadian Goose?
If so, potentially an updated Crimsom (aka Red) war in the making?

Those plucked and stuffed Canadians go better with wild rice and a nice Barolo.

I hope our new healthcare law does not keep Edmund and Charmion away. I have revenge in my heart having recently received a horrendous, plastic flamingo hose attachment that bounces as it waters my lawn. Will try it this weekend and see if the neighbors (still sighing gratefully at the loss of headless Jesus and the tree living lobster monster) notice.

So glad to hear the flamingo found a good home.

We're booked to help lead a workshop of songs about Napoleon and other historical figures, so even your (really insane) health-care laws won't keep us out -- that is, if you refrain from reporting us to the appropriate authorities.

Edmund is showing signs of working up a song about Bloody Bill Anderson or perhaps Jesse James.

NBC reported last night that the average net worth of Canadian (now 363,000) has passed that of the average person in this country (about 320,000) for the first time in history. This I think is even more significant because of this

Rank         Nation         Number of billionaires         
1          United States         403         
2          Canada         24         

and of course US billionaires at the top of that scale have nay more billions.

U.S.- 313 million
Canada- 35 million

The U.S. is over nine times more populous. Equating population, it would have about 220 billionaires.

Canada is a growing country, give us time and it won't be long before proportonally we have more billionaires.

Original intent of thread; in Calgary the flow favours Canada; Calgary is a center of laser and cosmetic surgery and these clinics have a goodly number of Americans seeking these services and paying for them. In the long run, it probably means lower costs to Canadians using the Alberta Health Plan*

*There is no overall Canadian plan except for some of the monetary input from tax money. I think Alberta contributes more than it receives, but I'll let someone else hunt out those figures.

I don't agree that there will be proportionately more Canadian Billionaire or that they will have equivalent riches at any time in the forseeable future. The Canadian tax code does not allow the same largess as the US. The Canadian voter would not allow that level of disparity.
