I like to tell you about my experience in Canada. For routine mammogram you wait 3 to 4 month but in the case of emergency there is no waiting time. I went to see my GP on December 24, they did the mammo and ultrasound the same day, 1/2 hour later I saw the oncologist and eveything started right away. I've talked to other people and they have the same experience. I live in Vancouver, it may be a little delay if you live in small town, becaue you have to travel, they even provide plane for travelling. I agree the number of Doctors are not enough for population and this is the law that Doctors passed, because they want to make more money! I'm sure they can improve the system much bettter. I think as human being we have the right to have health care system for all, and when you are dealing with serious illnesses nobody should be worried about to pay for the costs.

Also I want to tell you about my experience with private insurance. We have extended benefits for our company and I am the administrator. Six month after my Cancer, our monthly fee trippled. I called to find out why, after talking to so many people finally, the manager of our plan told me "off the record, you have an employee with Cancer, get rid of her and we decrease your fee" and I told him "on the record that employee it's me bastard", I should have sued the SOB.

I just wanted to show the difference.
