Patient: "Doctor, what I need is something to stir me up... something to get me fired up and put me in a fighting mood. Did you put anything like that in this prescription?"

Doctor: "No, not in the prescription. You'll find that in the bill."

Well, you know someone's making a bundle out of this.

Mostly the insurance companies. They charge the premiums, set the amount the doctors (medical providers and institutions) will be paid, and pocket what is left over.

At the risk of bringing down howls of "socialist" upon myself, I have to say that living with the NHS in the UK removes fear of the financial burdens of health treatments. Private medecine does exist here but is used only by the wealthy. My family dentist informed me that he was going to change to private practice and it would "only be Ā£x per month". No I replied it will be "3 x Ā£x per month!". He hadn't realised that a married couple with a single child was going to have to pay three times the charge. I also told him that the charge only kept us on his list, every actual visit and check up/treatment would each cost extra (up to 6 visits if 6 month check up). Needless to say we moved to a NHS surgery and haven't noticed any change in the quality of treatment.

Sometime back I was in the hospital for two weeks with acute phlebitis

and I have never seen a bill. On May 3, 2021, I will be having surgery

getting my knee replaced and I will not see a bill or even have to pay

co-pay. Guess what, I get to keep my house and all my savings.

No complaints about Canada's health care.
