Frank and Ernest by Thaves for July 14, 2012

The docs are getting to the important questions earlier and earlier!

This comic makes sense only in a primitive society where there is no universal health insurance. I live in Canada, and the question is irrelevant here.

No…. Just a history of repeated bankruptcies…. ! ! !

There is nothing “primitive” about a society that expects people to provide for themselves & not on the governmet to take care of them from cradle to grave.

Obviously a pre-existing condition.

Tresareus: Get up to date. BC was the last province to get on the plan (at federal demand) in 1970. Yes, there was a waiting list for elective surgery. All those who previously suffered and suddenly had an opportunity for health simply swamped the system. However, the system ultimately caught up. By 1973, the backlog was totally gone. As my doctor there (who practiced before and after Medicare) said, “I don’t think I practice medicine any differently now that I no longer worry about being paid.” A general practitioner, he also had papers published in major medical journals, including Lancet. It is no accident that Tommy Douglas (who invented the system while premier of Saskatchewan) was clear winner of a public opinion survey for “the greatest Canadian of all time”. Even the AMA, whose old lies you glibly quote, is coming around now.

In the UK the government spends about 8% of GDP for health care. In the US about 17% of GDP goes to health care, and the government spends almost 8%, the same as the UK.The other 9%? Paperwork and high fees and high profits, I bet.

The higher your paycheck, the more thing that are wrong with you. What a pity!

:p

Is this before or after he performed a walletectomy?

THE HEALTH CARE PLAN SHOULD BE ALIFE SAVER

I AM COVERED BY MEDICARE IS TAKEN CARE OF WITH SUPPLEMENTARY
