At least if I was able to pay for half an hour of time we might be able to get some extra things done and at least be able to ask some questions and get answers. IMO we're getting what we pay for with our current system. Okay for basic minor care, but when the health condition evolves beyond that our system is too useless to deal with it properly.

Everyone seems to think the American way is so much more advanced, the doctors are high and above the Canadians, well that just isn't true.
Trust me there wouldn't be so many Malpractice suits in the US if this was true.
My roommate at the time in L.A. used to play for the Wisconsin Badgers and his knees were basically shot. He had both knees replaced, after waiting I might add, and still was full of pain. He saw doctor after doctor and they blew him off too, basically he could never find anyone who would really help him get the true care he needed.
Both systems are flawed, very, very flawed, but at least we pay far less for ours.
Think of it this way, when you factor in profits into your healthcare, they're gonna cut corners, their not out to make you better, their out to make money.
