Every time we hear the word 'Canada', we think how grateful we are to have a 'free' healthcare system. We are so fortunate compared to our southern neighbor and compared to everyone else in the world for having this amazing, humane, socialist healthcare system that only saves lives. How ungrateful are those fools who dare to say there is something better in another part of the world, because Canada is the center of the Universe and we are the only country to have this exceptional healthcare system that saves lives.
The purpose of this blog is to document why the healthcare system in Canada sucks. What will it achieve? Maybe, the government will take some action to make changes, maybe instead of increasing doctors' salaries, the government will add more support stuff and more cleaners so people receive decent healthcare and will not die of hospital borne infections (like in DEVELOPING countries, as Canadians like to refer to the countries with less GDP and less/no 'democracy').
When I first immigrated to Canada I was so proud that I managed to do what other people could only dream of. I had this sense of accomplishment and eternal gratitude to the country that attracted the best brains and gave a lot of people great opportunities to make more money, have bigger houses, more expensive cars, independence, freedom and what not. While I still feel very grateful and proud to live in Canada, the healthcare system sucks big time and needs a reform. Just saying it is free and good is not good enough. Things must be done to restore people's faith in the health care system.
Over the years, I have heard a lot of horror stories from immigrants who had health issues. I silently listened and thanked God for being healthy. I asked God to save me from the Canadian hospitals and sympathised with the immigrants with limited English proficiency who had health issues. That was when I was healthy and worked from 9 am to 9 pm. This all stopped on a lovely day in September 2016 when my body simply refused to obey my commands.
I will be posting articles related to health care system in Canada and some personal stories of people, whose identity I cannot disclose but due to my profession I met and had to listen to. I did enjoy those people's stories and felt genuinely sorry for them.
