[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 718222, member: 21895"] SWOT you are prrially correct. The services that are covered are legislated. That is access to certain things like MRIs, Radiation treatment, and physician access. We can not pay to Jim the line for these legislated services. Dental care (for some), medications (of you are not elderly or poor), and therapists for example can all be accessed throufh third party insurance. It a bit of a confusing system. Or better accommodations in hospital. I agree if you have the money and want to pay you should be able to. That is called a two tier health care system, and it is not allowed. On a better note all urgent health care issues are covered for the most part, emergency surgery, organ transplant. If you have an organ transplant and can't afford other medications there is a special fund you can access. When is comes to psychiatry and rehab. You can pay for private rehab (very costly), but not for a private physician. A lot of people will cross the boarder for medical tests like MRIs and angiography instead of waiting for them here. A lot of basics are covered and the rest is covered by the individual or third party health insurance. To make things more confusing each province legislates their own health care spending. I think this is an utter waste of money on administrative function. This is a bit stupid for a country with the population equivalent to California. [/QUOTE]
