The Government In Charge of Our Entire Health-Care System?

And as far as why these non-traditional forms of medicine are not covered by MSP, I put the blame squarely on the College of Physicians and Surgeons. They don't want competition; in addition, they are 'scientists' and distrust anything not proven by a lab.

The only one that is questionable may be naturopathic medicine.

Most, if not all, compulsary health insurances pay for that (at least partly).

Private insurers of course completely.

So, Miller, you're the expert: would you say that the United States currently have a universal health care system?

Are you talking about Canada?

Canada is backwards in some regards, that's for sure.

For example, a naturopath is not covered under the provincial medical plan, nor are midwives (to my knowledge), accupuncturists, certain chiropractitioners, massage therapists, etc... But what's really mind-boggling is neither are mental health practitioners - can you believe that mental disorders are not covered under the medical system?

I would rather go to someone practising alternative and/or preventative medicine than a conventionally-trained doctor; unfortunately, if I have no money, I have no choice.

No. maporsche was asking for examples that the US were the "leader in medical progress."

There's no doubt that the United States are playing a significant role. But so is South Africa.

Oh yes, please. Keep up the good work.

You know, that will totally convince people that nobody needs universal health care. Most definitely.

Okay.

Not everybody has a car. Therefore, not everybody needs an auto insurance. Those who do drive a car are supposed to have a car insurance.


But everybody has a body. Therefore, it would seem that everybody should be supposed to have health insurance.

That isn't what you wrote the first time, is it? You said "a health"...

No. maporsche was asking for examples that the US were the "leader in medical progress."

Thank you for pointing out her strawman. I never said what she claims I did, nor do I feel that way.

Well now was maporsche asking for examples that the US was the leader in medical progress or not??

She does however, doubt that the United States of America played any significant role in medical history.

Oh, I'm very sorry.

Well, what did you think I could have possibly meant, hm?

WOW, She's thickheaded tonight isn't she.

I wonder if her insurance would cover the treatment.
