leaf bros are good people

ey?

when I walk into a doctors surgery... I basically tap my postcode and DOB into a touchscreen... thats literally all the forms you need to fill 😛

canada is very different from the UK

Yh lol its so blessed

Fuck all that premiums shit

it's neat when the government already has all your data

you cant get private insurance in CA

our nsa is working on that

Oh shit really?

I didn't know that bit at all lol, so its like a flat ban?

We have the same infrastructure issues as the 'states (distance, under serviced communities) and then a noncompetitive HC system that doesn't actually cover everything

make it hybrid

leave customers choice between public and private

i was quoted for private health insurance recently... £15 a month

Mhm but drug prices are cheaper in canada than the US no?

There's private insurance here- it's for everything not covered, including perscription medication

Yeah

Hybrid best system

Ohhh

styx proposed that system and thought he had invented something new, but that's basically how they even do it in Europe

So not the full package then

Nope

Damn thats wack

Dental and pills are two big ones

And our HC costs just kept ballooning

Ok nah thats dumb, private hc does better with dental on average

So dental is public?

No it's only private

most companies in the UK offer private... but many people dont even know...

Ohhh nvm

and even when they do they dont use it... because you have to pay a small excess

Yeah people just roll with NHS because its easier

No fuss

We also don't have proper mental health support

NHS mental health support for minor mental health diagnosis is atrocious

My bro got told to wait 6 months before he could be diagnosed

But obviously NHS is based on necessity first

Just wished they had better hc for mental health

We have a lot of mentally ill homeless people

Because rather than reform the institution they just closed it
