Canadian Health Care - Revisited . . . .

It's been quite some time since I reviewed a personal experience with the Canadian health care system.  You know:  The one the "wrong"-wing in the Excited States refers to as "You don't want a system like they have in Canada, do you?!?"

Today I had a 10:00 am appointment with my dermatologist.  Left
the strata at 9:15 to catch the bus to the train.  Got in the exam room at 10:03 and the doctor arrived 7 minutes later.  He did his exam, sprayed a few areas with liquid nitrogen, made a follow up appointment and I was out the door.  On the way back to the train I dropped by Homo Depot to check on a couple of things and got back home by 11:00 am.

Total cost:  $2.10 for the transit fare and 1 3/4 hours of my time.

Yeah.

"You don't want a system like they have in Canada, do you ? ? ? ?"
