Our healthcare system in Canada is pretty good. We had our baby girl 4 months ago and we decided to go with a midwife practice. We saw the midwives 5-6 times before she was born and the midwives came by the house 4-5 times after. It is all covered here in Vancouver, BC. Also covered was a nuchul test, the delivery and now the immunizations. .-= iHing´s last blog ..Vancouver 2010 Closing Ceremony Soundtrack =-.

When Erica had her first seizure, I drove asfastasIpossiblycould to our family doctor who has an office 2kms away. Ran yelling in, turned around, drove home, and he was right behind me. That same kind doctor visited my father in law at home, pretty well every day the week he was dying. Canadian Healthcare gets a big thumbs up from me! .-= Mommy´s last blog ..Simplicity 2998 =-.

Our Health care system is one of the many MANY reasons i am proud to say i am Canadian. (I’ve definitely had situations where i have had to wait a while to see a doctor but nothing too absurd).

Definitely would vote NO to privatized health care.

ps – i was referred by Leah to the walk-in clinic she mentioned above and i would absolutely recommend it to anyone!

Woot woot for Canada! Only problem is when you change provinces. I’m from Ontario and have been living in Quebec for a year now. I’ve been force to pay up front to see doctors and stuff. Thank god I get my money back though.

First, thanks so much for the shoutout!

I think that we have it INCREDIBLY lucky, especially over here in Western Canada. I think maybe it’s because we have a smaller population? Not sure. But I’ve NEVER EVER had a problem at the doctors. Once I had to wait like 1.5 hours with my b/f when we went to emergency, which sucked but of ALL my times going to the walk-in/emergency that’s the ONLY time I had a long wait.

We are so blessed to have such a great healthcare system. I will never vote yes for privatized healthcare either.
