Our Health Care as I know it . . .
It is very difficult to get a doctor here, if you don't have one, you are instructed to go to the walk in clinic or emergency at the hospital which makes 4+ hour waits normal.
I know they have the triage nurse where they direct the more in need patients first, but poor you if they don't think you're sick enough.

The doctor gets paid for services, dictated by the government, which means some services are not covered and if a patient wants to get two or more problems taken care of in one visit, there is a sign at the front desk and in every room "To keep the doctor on time only one problem per appointment".
I have been ignored when I have asked about a second problem or we'll take care of this problem first.
The doctor does not get paid more if you take more time than the one visit allows, so the doctor would be working late for free and too the waiting room would be full.
Now to make money the doctor does Botox and other services not covered by our health care.

Here's a problem specialists . . .
Must be referred by family doctor to see a specialist.
You can wait months sometimes a year for an appointment, then it's a four - five hour wait in his waiting room only to see him for 10 minuets. Then if what the specialist told you to do or the prescription didn't work you are back at square one. Sure makes you feel looked after. If they make you wait long enough the stress will get you down and you won't need a doctor.

Catch 22, the fracture clinic. . .
Will be staffed and open only when needed, patients are shifted around to keep it closed as much as possible, the doctor doing the surgery is doing too many and will be told he will only get paid for so many which may close the fracture clinic permanently.

A few years ago a woman wanted to donate a million dollar MIR machine to a hospital, the only stipulation it had to be available 24 hrs and NO animals, I've heard that pets are done after hours. Government turned her down.

The powers to be are always making it harder to get medical attention . . .
Hospital closings - ER's closings - ER only taking children - ER only taking adults, This Hospital 50 miles away only looks after dialyses, This one 150 miles away only some cancers and so on.
I believe it's all in the plan to ware us down so we DEMAND privatized health care.

If family Doctors are to expensive to educate and so hard to find, why do we have a Dentists office some times two in almost every plaza, not to forget the Veterinarians every small town has one and the vets do everything, from a physical to teeth to operations.

We don't know how much is paid on our behalf, now If every one was sent a bill so we know it's not free it's our tax money maybe some people wouldn't waste the services of the doctor and the doctor couldn't take a chance that he seen you when he didn't.
In the 80s there were millions paid to doctors that would have to of had a patient every 2 minutes, including the doctor I had at the time.

It could work but the cancer "greed" sets in - I don't mean just the doctors, I mean from the pharmaceuticals to equipment to suppliers of consumables to top dog huge salaries.
The insurance companies would like to see more policies come there way I'm sure, but that doesn't work too well after you're 45-55 the premiums gets too expensive benefits get reduced and the older guys get let go if the company is too heavy with older employees. From what I can gather it doesn't mater what insurance you have you don't know what you're covered for until you make a claim. If you are asked for medical info just say 'see Dr. report' you could say no and the Dr. did a test you were not aware of so you lied and are disqualified.
