2 years, 8 months ago @Canadianstoner21 4:21 I'm sure it was more than which healthcare system she wanted to give birth under. It was probably more about the culture and values she wanted to imbue her child with. 9 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @elisham23 We have pondered moving to the US but it always scares me thinking of all the service safety nets behind. I don't know how many Americans know this, but basically at birth you are assigned a health card which you keep for the rest of your life. Anytime you go to the doctor they ask for that and it has all your info on it (family doctors, your address, etc) and that's all you do. See the doctor and then leave. Private/work health insurance is more for prescription, dentists,massage, therapy, physio, eye, ambulance rides,etc. \nBut childbirth, ER visits, doctors visits all covered by that card...which is funded by our are taxes. We are taxed to hell and back on the daily but it's just so normal you don't think differently of it. We do have a shortage of Dr's though. An ER wait can be upwards of 2-4 hours and your family doctor can take weeks to get an appointment with so you usually have to go to a hospital or walk in if it's urgent.\nAlso, guns. Guns guns everwhere ? I saw a sign when I was walking into Walmart in Florida saying to not bring guns inside and I just couldn't believe that was a thing that had to be said. In Canada, guns are for hunting and going to the range and that's the only time they're allowed out of their safe. Obviously you have people who have stolen and smuggled guns and that's how you get gun crimes (you need a special card to buy guns and ammo, that you get after passing a gun safety course and *most* gun crimes are not committed by people who hold those cards). I appreciate the fact that you don't have so many restrictions on the types of guns you can get but man, I never felt so rattled just walking around after seeing that sign 56 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @jonathanfinan722 To be forced to pay to give birth is just barbaric and unhuman. I just can't imagine. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @Rascallyone I think the mistake Americans make is believing THE WHOLE WORLD WANTS TO BE AMERICAN. I sure enjoy visiting there. Great folks, lots to see and do. \nWould I live there? No thank you. 824 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @celestetamarit2619 What I also hear a lot about is that rural areas don’t even have hospitals and people have to travel long distances to get medical help 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @cathyriach1285 I lived in the US for awhile and what I found is that Americans now seem to live in constant fear . . . of everything! Especially since 9/11. Was glad to get home. 181 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @Sherrilynn27 This is just a guess, but it seems that the reason your ER/ doctor office wait times are shorter is that because cost only those who have serious or long-time symptoms go to get checked out. \nIn Canada, we will get checked out sooner. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @celestetamarit2619 The death rate for childbirth in the US is staggering for a first world country, therefore anyone who is Canadian and could move back it would be in their best interest 106 zJycj8c73sQ

2 years, 8 months ago @shirleyk7647 ?? If you want a cake in the U.S., you can get it, and quality? Our Costco etc. cakes here are exactly the same, and there are wonderful bakeries which include baked goods from every country that I haven’t seen anything the likes of in the nearby US state I live near. I know the US has them in certain places, but just say in’ 1 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @redelfshotthefood8213 I’m ??ian, and vacationed in LA visiting a friend. We lost power due to a windstorm that year. 3 days without power. 0 riots. 0 additional problems. No anarchy. In retrospect, I’m surprised. Maybe I’m too conditioned by the news. 13 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @porker5749 Canada has high quality every thing as well. The only issue I have with our health care (in Ontario it is called O.H.I.P. - Ontario Health Insurance Plan) is that sometimes there are long waits for specialists and specialized tests. I have had a reason to be a burden on our heath care system recently. In December of last year I did some major damage to my arm (severed the vein, nerve and muscle that works the inside part of my left arm). I had an argument with my angle grinder while using a thin metal cut off blade. My angle grinder won the fight! I was in hospital for 19 days, had three surgeries, attended an out patient hand therapy clinic for 5 months, had a nurse come to my home to change my dressing twice a week for 5 months, then attended a nursing health care facility for four months, and about 5 follow up visits (so far!) with the plastic surgeon. I know what this cost me in Canada. $0.00. Any guesses what that would have cost with no medical plan in the U.S.? Me either but I know I would have that debt for a long time I'm sure! 45 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @BarbNordman I am much less gracious than you are hearing criticisms about your country. Good for you Tyler. It bothers me when I hear all the criticisms of Manitoba. We have amazing cultural diversity here, beautiful provincial parks, The Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, The Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Rainbow stage and super friendly people. We honeymooned in Florida forty years ago and we loved it, just to let you know. Sadly, Florida is not the place to visit right now with the current Governor, but I look forward to visiting again another time. 11 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @Amkontos If you move out of Canada and become another country's resident, you lose your Canadian healthcare and would have to pay a fee when visiting a doctor or hospital. 7 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @francescathomas3502 I find it interesting that noone has mentioned Maternity leave or Paternity leave for new parents. I think paternity leave is about 6 weeks in Canada but zero in USA. Maternity leave in Canada can be as much as a year (probably unpaid or half pay) but in the USA, I have heard that its barely 3 months for moms and even then its not guaranteed. 30 zJycj8c73sQ

2 years, 8 months ago @christophermerlot3366 I live in Toronto. Manhattan is like TO on overdrive. 1 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @carolynadams4963 I lived for 14 years in America but moved back to Canada when I became a mom. No way was I raising my daughters in the USA. Too much gun violence. I brought my American husband with me and he loves Canada. He says he’ll never go back. So much better here. 433 zJycj8c73sQ

2 years, 8 months ago @tmcgrenere Every trip i took to the US was overwhelmingly a positive empierce. Tho i was attempted mugging but i talked them out of it with my Canadian charm ha.(in buffalo ny) Every new friend i met were fantastic reps for thier state.I still want to see the grand canyon one day. 3 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @shirleyk7647 Well most of us have been to the US or go there frequently, as so many of us live near the border, so we really don’t have those pre conceived ideas like people from other countries might have. However as one who moved to the U.S. for a time as I married an American, the things I didn’t like the most was ignorance of other countries, especially Canada, as we are so close, that the U.S. revolves the world around themselves, and has a superiority complex that being American is being better than any other nationality, I could go on….However I liked the friendliness, warmth, energy, so it wasn’t all negative. 16 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @lynnsinclair123 Most likely, the reason he had to pay out of pocket for the hospital visit in Toronto is because he'd been out of the country for more than six months, so was no longer covered by our universal health insurance. 113 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @basementbanter366 If people think our healthcare is free they're delusional. We're taxed heavily for it 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @imisstoronto3121 Moving isnt even a consideration. There were places I wanted to visit in the US pre Covid, and I simply cant afford the medical travel insurance. Just not worth it. 4 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @juliagirouard The reason it's easier to get fast access to medical services in the States is because the people who can't afford it don't go. In Canada, if something's wrong, we don't have to think about how we'll pay for it before booking an appointment, so if anything, we overuse our medical system. 72 zJycj8c73sQ

2 years, 8 months ago @36jjmc You can buy good healthcare in America. You go on a waiting list in Canada, and good luck finding a family doctor. Although, wait lists are prioritized by urgency, not first come first serve. ie. Triage first for all medical needs. 1 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @stewartbonner when medical wait times is talked of is not about ER wait times . The talking is of lists waiting for surgery . It is a BS GOP talking point on the Canadian healthcare system. How US right wing puts it is a flat out lie. 0 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @rachelgrogan2477 3 years 3 months in the US and moving back in 2 weeks. The absolutely hardest thing is a lack of community. Add a very materialistic society, little social support, $500/month for insurance where youre limited to what doctor or hospital or dentist you can go to, all the red tape to do literally anything....its unfortunate. My mental health took a sharp decline, and a lot of other people are in the same boat. 103 zJycj8c73sQ

2 years, 8 months ago @c24peach I have travelled throughout the US for work. Most of the folks I met were great people, with the odd exceptions here and there (this happens everywhere, not just in the US, or Canada for that matter). The social safety net is the kicker between both countries, at least from my viewpoint. I think you should visit Canada and do some videos with your reaction to visiting. :) 97 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @richardbanks6025 The key, if you have money you won't wait, its a for profit health care system, not a system for health care 22 zJycj8c73sQ
2 years, 8 months ago @LindaDaoust54 Even if you paid me, I would never, ever, move to the US. The US has the worst health care system in the world. 41 zJycj8c73sQ
