As far as I know all Canadians know about the health-care system and how it works, we are not a bunch of mountain men. You can spit facts about our Healthcare system all you want but until you actually experience our Healthcare system no one will ever understand how crappy it is. Take it from someone who is suffering from a rare disease and no one seems to be able to help. Took 8 years just to get a diagnosis.
Good & informative video. Lots of research has been done to make the video.thanks both for nice presentation.
Very helpful breakdown of the healthcare system in Canada
Glad you liked it!
It is a great video explaining Canadian Health Care. In my view, Canada is facing 3 issues:
1. Noncommunicable diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and psychiatric
2. Opioid addiction
3. Smoking
These 3 issues will become a risk for Canadian Health Care soon.
I am a born Canadian but I have lived in 8 countries on 4 continents and I can honestly say that nowhere else did I feel so completely abandoned by a health care system that is extremely inaccessible and much of what is covered in other countries of similar income levels is just not here. In France for example as a student, as well as no tuition fees unlike here where I couldn't afford to study (and by the way the two problems of expensive useless health and education are linked) , I had coverage for doctors, dentists, psychologists, physio, medicines and optical at 100%. Right now I am living in Montréal where I have no card because I have not been here for three months, I had to leave my home town and birht place Toronto because my buidling had roaches and rents are now so high there I couldn't afford to rent there any longer. The nearest hospital in Ontario where I am now is 97km but to be honest even when I was in Toronto I could get to see a family doctor but anything else just forget it. I am also autistic and asthmatic. Two cases that were exempt from wearing covid masks in every other country but when I had an asthma attack last year they wouldn't let me in the hospital without wearing a covid mask. Talk about insanity. The biggest threat to my mental health (which is not covered and I have to pay $150 and hour for autism therapy) here in Canada is having any contact whatsoever with the health service. It is a national disgrace. If we want to make Canada better we have to get real, stop making excuses for the inexcusable and start making some noise, protesting, calling MPs writing to media and any other way we can think of to get the message of change across. It's called democracy! And by the way to solve the doctor shortage we need more places at university and free tuition.
@adamfrank4192 so why did you come back to canada, and not stay in france?
I've had the opposite experience. I lived in the US for over 30 years, been in Canada for a decade now. I'm in my 40's so I've had the experience of real use in both systems. In private bill pay systems you pay dearly for services that you're seeking and what you quoted. The problem is that they aren't fully covered under provincial plans (mental services and autistic assessment/treatment services as an example), not the fact the system exists. It means we need expansions, not cuts and privatization. You should have a Quebec RAMQ insurance card by now (if you have been in Quebec for several months), so hopefully your situation has improved. Keep in mind: your OHIP card works for ER visits during your wait for a RAMQ card. My advice to you: learn how to navigate the Canadian system. When you do, you'll have much better access to health care than you'll get in many other countries, particularly the US. Trust me. Health care isn't a cake walk anywhere, but I think this is one of those few good things about Canada, not a drawback. Having a primary care physician is a positive, but it is not a requirement to access health care or services. You can still go to a clinic to get any referral you need for specialist treatment until you find a primary care doc.
o agree with you!
Thank you very much for this very informative video. 👏👏👏
Glad it was helpful!
Interesting video. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
The numerous problems with Canadian health care are mainly due to Canadians. The vast majority of people born here have no idea how it works or is funded, have never experienced any alternative, and due to 60 years of government advertising campaigns have 'free health care' integrated with our national identity... to the point suggesting something is wrong with it is considered a slight against national pride. Sadly, most Canadians don't fully realize our healthcare has serious problems until they become a victim of it at old age, and conveniently for the system there's not a more ignored demographic in Canada.
0:27 blame the victime?
Nailed it. It's impossible to have a grown up talk about any kind of healthcare reform with most Canadians. They also seem to think it's this or America. Uhhhh...no, lol.
The reality is quite the opposite. Every Canadian (almost) has an American friend, is very exposed to American media, and often has worked in the US on temp basis and had to seek health care there, and they know the medical billing nightmares and lack of health access it causes. The reason why Canadians have kept our system public and free is because of the horror stories down south. The thousand bills you get from one ER visit are just the start... Likewise, I lived in the US over 30 years, have lived in Canada for over a decade. I wouldn't step foot in the US again for health care. Period. It really is that complicated and expensive and difficult. On the contrary, I think the problems we have in Canada are easily solved. More public health investments, more public hospitals. Reform education to ensure more doctors and nurses and medical techs can get the education they need without cost or at very low cost. We can bring some of these ER waits down if we do this. The US isn't immune to the problem, either. Many Americans (and Europeans) wait long times in ER's for care, and wait months for elective surgeries. Free health care is something Canada should ensure we maintain, not abandon. If we abandon, we lose something and only wealthier citizens will get the care they need.
If you want to compare, I have a video with a few American overload stories. You should pay attention, because private profit bill pay systems do not resolve these problems. Investments in public hospitals, free education for docs and nurses and techs, etc. will help.

Exactly!!! I am french and honestly we do not have the same problems in France!
Great Job!
Thank you! Cheers!
thanks for making it
Thanks for watching Irfan!
Another great and informative video. You answered all the questions I had and good to know how each province operates. Thank you both!
And the new layout gets top marks 👌
Thank you glad you noticed and happy it answered all your questions! 🤗
I’m a Canadian and I’ve lived in many countries. Canadian healthcare quality of service has been the worst I’ve experienced.
Even worse than UK & Australia? I thought UK & AU had the worst quality of healthcare in the developed world.
@@pinetworkminer8377U.K. - it’s easy to register with a doctor (GP) surgery. No waiting list. Health education is important and regular screening tests for diabetes etc.
Excellent video. It has lots of information
Glad it was helpful!
This a great overview! Awesome job!
My wife is still waiting for call backs from a family doctor in QC and it's been 2 years! A cousin of mine got on in AB in less than a month! One of the reason why we are moving to AB!
Pay more taxes for less in QC!
Good luck with the move Chris! We’ll visit soon! 🙌
@@MakeThatChange Our door is always open for you two!
I was born in the US, used that system for over 30 years of my life, moved here to Canada and have used this system for the last decade I've been in Canada. I much prefer the Canadian system. The quality I've received is generally good (genuinely, I've had a better experience with Canadian docs over the American hospitals and docs I visited over the years, my first family doctor was with me for an entire hour, something I never experienced state side), I have a doctor, and even if I don't have a family doc here you can get services by going to a walk in clinic or a hospital, so you get the care whether you have a family doc or not. I didn't have a doctor for 2 years and I still had health care by going to walk in clinics and ER's as needed... I find the people least satisfied with care in Canada are people who don't have a lot of experience with other systems where if you don't have the cash, instead of a wait you just have to sit it out and not get care. With that said, should there be improvements? Absolutely. Hospital ER's are overloaded because of chronic privatization and underfunding. But guess what, the same is true in the US, the same is true in the UK, the same is true in Australia. We should improve our care, but invest in new public hospitals, not private two tier. That's my 2 cents. And yes, I've had major procedures in Canada including a tonsil removal surgery. All of it was high quality, and I think the waits were not bad.
I have a few health care videos of my own, one describing long waits in the US:
czcams.com/video/KMuVss8ge8I/video.html
COVID sucker punched every health care system around the globe. Nurses and docs quit under the stress, so its going to be years to recover from it.
The people who complain the most in Canada about health care are generally people, I find, who don't know how to navigate the system. It is far easier to walk out of a doctor's office here, seek a second opinion, and get care elsewhere than it is in a country like the US. For example, if a hospital I'm not satisfied with has me in an ER wait room for hours, I can just walk out and go to another hospital and get services there. In the US you have to stick to hospitals in "your insurance network" and there's far more limits, not even getting into the expensive private bill-pay system where even with insurance you have to pay significantly to receive any service. With that said, patience is a virtue. If its not life threatening, waiting isn't a problem for me. If you truly need it, you won't have to wait. I was in Sault Ste Marie a few years ago, had an urgent pain that needed immediate care, I was in the ER and had a CT Scan within 4 hours of arriving in the ER. You do get services here if you need them, there is no wait in Canada for truly urgent needs. If people want to complain about being in an ER for 12 hours, so be it... I've been in 14 hour, 18 hour ER waits in the US too. That's how an ER goes, it isn't always quick, but you get care.
In short: I will never return to the US or any profit based health system. Where health matters are concerned, profits need to be taken out. I have insurance denial of payment letters from my years in the US and I confidently can say that is behind me, for good. So long as Canadians are smart enough to ensure we have free, public health care.
"there is no wait in Canada for truly urgent needs"
This discussion wouldn't be complete without an American gaslighting us.
You summed it perfectly! Canadian healthcare is great, if there is an urgent need you will get the required tests/imaging/checkup/surgery right away. If you go to the ER because its after hours for your walkin clinic and you have a flu, be prepared to wait (unless you are elderly and the flu can kill you). I myself had to wait for specialist appointments that were not urgent, and I had times were I get seen by multiple specialist in a matter of weeks. It all depends on what health issue is at hand.
The healthcare in Canada is focused on prevention, a flat foot won't kill you, but a suspicious lump or a consistent heart palpitation will need assessment immediately.
I've never faced extraordinary waits for care. In fact, partially due to COVID delays, I had an aunt in the US who waited 13 months for a knee replacement, in Tennessee. Waits happen in the US for elective care. Plus, your insurance can deny the care. Canada has problems to tackle, but they aren't as bad as advertised. It also takes electing people who care about public care!
please don't call it HEALTH CARE call it SICKNESS MONITORING .

@@franklinfleming1237 is it? Care to share some details?
Thanks Omi. Glad you liked it! Welcome to the channel 🤗
For Ontario, if you are eligible on day 1, you are covered on day 1. Otherwise, you need insurance for the gap period.
The Canadian system is under stress, but it provides adequate coverage for most Canadians. Whether you are unemployed or not, rich or poor.
In my case, stage 4 cancer, 4 months of treatment at PMH, 2 more months of treatment in a northern ontario hospital, paid airfare to visit my Oncologist in Toronto. I was well treated, well managed and healed. More recently, a bit of gout. No problem.
Very good
Thanks!
I am planning to move to Canada from US and heard few good and more bad things from friend over there. but after watching this video things are much clear that the wait time could be 3 minutes to 3 hours depending on the place ( or Covid),
TRy 8 hours minimum. People have died in hospitals waiting for treatment here
You do need to find a doctor- in the cities it is relatively quick. Do not use emergency rooms for your health care. Walkin clinics are plentiful in the major cities, without a Doctor, this is your best choice. What was not mentioned was that critical care is not delayed. If you need it, you will get it. That was my situation with cancer. I was in good physical shape, proper weight, but stomach pains. Once the doctor got over my otherwise decent but plummeting physical shape (he was looking at ulcers as the cause), I was into the system and cured.
If you have a heart attack, and if your body can handle the waiting, you will be counciled to change lifestyle habits during the wait period. Lose weight, quit smoking, get excercize. Six months later, you get your surgery. I tend to think a heart attack victum will succeed better in the long run. Prior to COVID, and likely still the case today, if you need surgery now, you will get it now.
COVID has put a strain on hospitals, like USA, emergency room and ICU nurses have quit in large numbers, which has backed up everything in the medical system. Two years of elective surgery delayed. Recently, more money has been allocated to the system.
I am now a retired Canadian, healthcare, or the access to healthcare does not enter anywhere on my list of worries. When I need healthcare I get it. This is the best feature- unemployed, homeless, working, moving, being fired do not affect your finances or access vis a vis healthcare.
I was recently on a trip to the US, I did buy US insurance, I chose a deductible of $2,500. In hindsight, that cost stopped me from visiting a doctor covered by my insurance for a couple of weeks. Nothing bad happened, but healthcare rationed by money is a fearsome thing. Meanwhile in Canada, if you know your body and something has changed, see a doctor. You will be well treated. But you must be your own champion. And you must be truthful and fulsome when talking to your doctor- especially in a walkin clinic Re Cancer, a few years later, I had chest pains- explained to the nurse, into the doctor in a heartbeat, It turns out I had bruised ribs from a curling bonspiel. On another occasion, while traveling through ALberta, I had what I thought were heart palpitations. Into a random acute care clinic in Okotoks, Ab. I said I think I was having a heart attack. Onto a gurney with a swarm of nurses and a doctor around me. Turns out that the night before, I was eating pretzel snacks while driving. After I finished the pretzels, I started eating the salt. Everything was good with my heart, no heart attack, just high sodium (well duh?). It is a good system that needs tweaking, but not a reboot.
Recently, more money has been allocated to the system.
I moved from the US to Canada, let me assure you, the care here will be fine. You may run into a wait, but you have the right to walk out of any medical office - be it a hospital or doctor office or clinic - and go anywhere else. There's no insurance "networks" you can go anywhere you wish. If a hospital ER has an 8 hour wait in one location there's likely one down the street or across town with better times you can go to. Many have wait time estimates published online. You don't NEED a family doctor, in Canada people think the system is failing because not everyone has one, but the truth is more Canadians have a family doc than Americans. Americans don't see having a family doc as a "right" the same way, so people are more adjusted to clinics and hospitals. So, that's the truth. You may run into services you don't like but you have free choice to use other facilities. That's the reason why the Canadian system functions quite well, despite any problems. As I like to say: we have "better" problems to resolve in Canada, so come on up!
Love you so much beautiful Contains

I don't need to visit any other channel now❤

Great stuff! Thanks a lot. One question I still have is how much money should I expect to pay in case of urgent care or getting an ambulance (assuming I don't have any insurance). In United States this would be in thousands of dollars, so I am trying to estimate how scary it is in Canada (specifically Montreal). Would appreciate any rough numbers.
The cost of ambulance transportation charged to the user includes a basic fee of $125 plus $1.75 per kilometre travelled to the hospital centre. A fee of $35 is charged for any additional patient. For ambulance transportation for a person who does not live in Canada, the basic fee is $400 plus $1.75 per kilometre travelled. Rates may be indexed annually. There is no additional charge for someone accompanying the person being transported.

Healthcare after covid has been a mess, its impossible for me to see my family doctor, and even my experiences with hospitals have felt so rushed its hard to believe there's a healthy patient-doctor relationship which is so vital in successful care. Being forced out of the hospital into palliative care faster than the nurse can respond to your bedside call is so upsetting. I know its busy overworked but its crazy that they keep inviting people into this country when its healthcare is already struggling, moving them into the same small urban area, and not letting them practice something they are qualified for is just shooting yourself in the foot. Its no longer become "Canadian healthcare is so good I can get my feelings checked for free" now you just wait at home for things to clear up and hope its not more serious because its literally impossible to get a timely visit with any doctor.
Same as NHS in UK. NHS has been crumbling and UK govt does not want to properly pay nurses and doctors.
3:05 If you are away from the country, you become inelegible for health care. However, the CRA will happily consider you a tax resident and ask you to pay taxes on your world income, to pay for the services never received. I wondered if someone has challenged this in court. Probably yes, and the system protected itself and failed in its favor.
That’s a brilliant observation Alex. That’s crazy, odds are never in our favour it seems.
if you are deemed a non-resident of Canada, you do not pay canadian taxes on foreign income. I have worked outside of Canada on two long occasions for a foreign company. I had no ties to canada, like dependant family or a house sittng unoccupied. Easy peasy, I was deemed non-resident. THere is a simple questionaire that you send to CRA. There is also a complaint process on this. So NO, canadians are not unjustly taxed on foreign income.
Thanks for sharing Great information, Mam if the person is on closed work permit, can he get the fee maternity benefits for his wife in british columbia canada
Very informative, can you make a video about registered psychiatric nurses in Canada and f you can provide salaries and benefits etc.. please :) Best wishes all the way from the England :)
thank you for the suggestion!
Hi thanks for information
Mam if the candidate is on closed work permit in BC, can he get the free maternity benefits for his wife?
It is a business model designed to enrich doctors. As simple as that. Officially, it's meant to have doctors process more patients, in reality it's giving doctors an open account on public money. They become literal businessmen AND there is no way to sue them. Go see an ENT to see what I mean. They can check you for 30 seconds then literarily say "there is nothing wrong with you". You leave their office, they pass the card and there is no way to sue them for ignoring an actual health problem. They make 10 times the average income.
Canafian heslth care system is miserable I have seen . whenever there is some heslth problem and you report to hospital , you had it . Doctors are so careless and difficult to approach despite the swearest health issue. People keep sitting in hospitals for six to eight hours for their appointment with doctors but doctors take it so lightly , it's beyond immagination. The system needs immediate attention .
Can a Telemedicine SaaS company which offers online consultation from doctors around the world BE USED by Canadians to solve their minor healthcare problems such as anything other than those requiring Surgeries?
Thanks for the info
Most of Canada crisis is policies that are made here not the system or hardworking people.
Kudos on a job well-done ladies! informative and research-based as always. I think you summed up all the main issues that are crippling the healthcare system in Canada at the moment. As an immigrant for 6 years myself, I agree with everything you mentioned. In my opinion, the quick win is to recognize international healthcare credentials. With all the hardships we have in the Canadian healthcare system, especially the availability and competency of doctors, it puzzles me why the government is not making it easier for immigrant doctors to practice. I've known three family doctors on a personal level since I came to Canada, and today, all of them have left the country to the UK and US, after gaining the Canadian citizenship.
The number 1 priority for the government should be to: attract, quickly integrate and retain those doctors. Hopefully someone listens.
Now for a suggestion on the next topic to cover - maybe you have - I would vote for the other broken piece in the Canadian landscape: Housing.
Thanks again and keep up the excellent work!
Thanks a lot Ahmed! 🙏
I think its fair to say having to have private healthcare to get in at a reasonable time, and the process to get that service being much stricter than in america is already a huge downside. Not only are you incentivized to get two different kinds of healthcare, but you are paying for the universal and private systems if you want anything of quality at an acceptable level. Thats not a superior system to americas, far from it. Think of it like a video game, a universal buff wont be as efficient as a more specific buff. And in this case Its clear that something being more accessible on paper isn't the way to go when it comes to healthcare. You are of course free to wait in triage for 5 hours to get a basic checkup, and being passed up on a List because someone elses problem is more potent. Or you could be in america and avoid that...
Look at Portugal that had a mix of private and public healthcare. It’s the country among those who’ve managed the pandemic without a terrible strain in the medical system. There’s nothing wrong about some people deciding to pay for a service, if they can afford it - that in fact, removes pressure from the public system , yielding a better experience and lower waiting times.
Thank you for this informations, long time ago, a retired doctor said we have doctors but young dr.s don’t want to work long hour any more.
Today dr.s see patients less than 10mins … waiting time 30mins to an hour??? They earn in the high income group.
What happened ‘ customer(clients, patients) service’ …. I’m willing to pay few extra dollars for good
With empathy doctors when I really need them.
100% agreed!
Every province in Canada has a different health care system. Not sure how you manage to group all together..
Maybe Canada doesn’t manage it well 😳
@@MakeThatChange Provinces have managed for years. Conservative federal governments generally opt out of managing budgets, no expenditures no costs. No cost great budgets. Leaders like Mulroney, Harper, Scheer, and now Polievre. Cut cut cut. The fiscally responsible..lol let society pay, funny religious Right always first to cut women's health and social welfare.
The self employed status of doctor is really strange to me. I've lived in the US mess of a system but also in Finland and Spain, and in those places doctors are always employed by the state/hospital
Self employed doctors are also employed by the government in Canada, except they operate more independently 🤔
@@MakeThatChange sounds messy
yup that's it! Easy for the government, since they can be hands off.
@@MakeThatChange sure , makes sense form their pov. Even with its flaws I'm looking forward to using the Canadian healthcare system instead of the US health corporation.
you really need to depend on the ethics of the doctors, whether they are self-employed or on a salary. You need them to care about you. My gp in my home city was strongly ethical, I only needed a letter of health once, I was worried about a medical episode, the Dr said this will be in his note. Good for him.
Hi there, keep praying for world
peace.👨🏭

🇨🇦Allopathy is still part of 90% system, that's forcing medicine, 10% support Psychedelics, Ayurved, Cannabis. 🇺🇸 has taken a leap ahead with Psychedelics insurance and Ayurved medicine.
I have had one son who died from Cancer. Surprise much of the treatment you pay for. People fundraise and do what they can- it wiped me out financially. Took me about 15 years to get a house again. You could never do that now- way worse. Now I had an accident and needed an operation- spine fracture. Public system said pain and wheelchair is fine. Private operation- lucky to arrange- saved my life for now. I was going to kill myself. Now wife has similar problems. See if we can get any positive result from system because is way worse one year later. They just blow you off- try to get an MRI and opinion on disk surgery. Physio whispered to me - “ take her to Germany if you can. Most of my patients go there as they will get nothing in Canada.”
Her comment Canada is doing something right in health care 😢 Why are thousands and thousands of Canadian citizens have no family doctors 😢 Doctors are retiring people are left with no doctors 😢Waiting lists with every doctor where l live is 1600 on the waiting list 😢 Every where you call are the same 😢 Shortage even with Nurse practioners 😢Canada 🇨🇦 is in huge danger 😢
You can still receive medical care without a family doctor. Numerous walk in clinics available, clinics that can refer you to a specialist, and you can go to an ER anytime without any charge for any emergency. If they find something serious, you can get to a specialist right away. More Canadians have a family doctor than Americans, actually... So there is worse.
@@BTin416 yea I know about the walk in clinics. Unfortunately they can't help me with my health problem. All the doctors want to give antidepressants.
BTin416 is right - if you constantly refresh the walk-in appointment webpage for several hours you might luck out and get a same-day appointment within an hour's drive
Canadian Healthcare System is the best in the World. Make sure you do not get sick and find out how many years you have to wait to be seen by a specialist. Enjoy Canada and make sure you ware mask above your nose and get boosted.
TRUE I conciderTrudea's Paid foggy PROPAGANDA FOR STUPID.
Very informative and professional review for new comer on what is going on.
Instead to focus on what is going on, now province like VC is going to legalized danger drugs use to encourge addict to seek help, what an irony of that.
Too bad it was all propaganda
Vc a city... and government says booze bad hard drugs good.
Or the irony of telling people to kill themselves so they can harvest your organs for somone else to live... unless u opt out.
CANADÁ SUMMARIZED:
- High taxes
- No homes
- No Doctors
- Freezing Cold
Dont be stupid. The province you left pays your premiums and for your care in the province you moved to until the 3 month period is up. And always has.
For costs that the province seems medically necessary only.
Naturopaths and holistic doctors have tried to tell the government for years that the current sick care model will collapse. Preventative medicine based on lifestyle and diet will have to be implemented to have a healthy, thriving population. Hospitals obviously would still be needed, but their focus would be emergent care.
All of this has solutions, but this does not bring much profit to big pharma.
💯💯💯
Wow! Doctors are freelancers! That's a new! No wonders AI is coming for them!
🤣
Unless you are in Quebec 🤣🤦♀️
On a serious note. Very well done research 👏
I do wonder what you meant by self employed contractors in the criticism section. Is this in the public sector? What are those contractors role? Like coordinator/technician or a doctor?
Thank you!
Doctors are contractors with the government, this means that doctors set their own standards and ways of working. Almost every clinic is pretty much ran like a small business by doctors.
Yep
the same shitty quality
you can cry you can shout but you will have to stay in the line and wait for 10 and more hours to get any help
In Quebec they are planning to remove private sector at all sooooooooooooooo.
You wont have any choice .
durian fruit and stink beans and jengkol
yum
This is the most important reason (are a lot more reasons :D) for me to stay away from Canada! I live in Munich Germany and a big part of my family is in Toronto! I wish to be together but the medical sistem from Canada is in this moment a very big NO GO and a RED FLAG for me! In Germany the medical (and social!!!) sistrem is WAY better!
Absolute Joke Canadas Health System...Going on 4 years waiting on a total knee replacement
Have you tried a 2nd opinion?
Health care virtually non existent.
So much mired in red tape and fat salaries to the department.
One has go see the corporate hospitals in india - how high quality health care can be delivered when needed - not put in a queue system.
Able to talk to a physician it self is a great achievement in canada - forget about surgeries
Doing something right... as if...
😕
There is shortage of doctors but the foreign doctors aren't allowed to work in their areas of expertise due to lack of the "Canadian work experience". Indeed, they're better fit for bus drivers. Add no proper private sector health care to that to make it even worse.
The reason why Canadians are the healthiest is not due to Healthcare, but Canadian HealthAir. Canada should get the credit, rather than healthcare professionals. This has always been historically the case. I have also been well traveled. In my experience, the more a nation talks about "healthcare" there is a direct proportional increase to poor Air Quality Index "AQI." Think about this. Now the real solution. In order to combat disease, raise awareness, and promote real healthcare, look at successful regions like Japan. They have instituted sweat rooms and bathhouses in order to combat AQI problems. Filtering ourselves creates an intelligent society. In order for Canada to be a viable player in true health code standards, they should try to institute such facilities at under $10 for the average Canadian. At this point we will see vast improvements in all areas of Canadian living standards.
canada has 60+% work force , with a population 38.25millions (23mil works with annual avg: 70,000 > -40% TAX), that means Canada has 161,000,000,000,000 CAD every year JUST FROM TAX ... all that Canada spends for services like healthcare is 300mil ? ... where does the rest of the money go to ? it sounds a bit fishy don't you think ? .. no one should wait for more than 2 weeks to see a doctor! after paying 40% of their income.
Perhaps this video can help you shed more light on how tax money actually work

" it has not worked since only God knows when 🤷🏻♂️😲
Canada is becoming worse every day anyway!!! Salary are low (while cost of living is skyrocketing), which is why we have so many Canadians and immigrants who are becoming so anxious, depressed and facing all sorts of mental problems), people are moody, quality of life is decreasing and transport is trash compared to France and the lack for doctors is making this country look like a third world
Economy!!! Even Canadians are happy to leave this place (poor weather, lousy healthcare, lousy retirement compared to places like France, lousy transportation compared to most of Europe, worse mental health services than Europe, people are too serious and take things so seriously compared to the French) and honestly, we think of leaving it too for another country.. that you can trust me! (My 2 younger sisters are actually leaving and makes plans to leave Canada behind for good to immigrate elsewhere and my older brother plans to relocate to a warmer country.
.. and NO!! I am not going to buy a 1 million dollar house in Vancouver or Toronto at the expense of my well being!!! It ain’t worth it no more!!! Better buy a place in Europe.. like France or Portugal!!!! There houses cost 2 to 3 times less.. sometimes more if you know where to buy!!! I do not want to end up lonely and alone in this cold and anti-social society that Canada is once I retire.. do you??
At least Canada provided you with opportunities to earn enough money for relocation, retirement and a house in Portugal - and that’s amazing. People living in Portugal these days can't afford buying houses there.
Short answer: It doesn't

I find the background music irritating. I want to listen to what you say, not the music. I quit.
Duly noted
How very odd. Party political?
What you mean. Grammar bad?
How healthcare in Canada works? Healthcare in Canada doesn't work.
🤣
There's no health care in Canada!!! Finding a family doctor or walk-in clinic is impossible!!! This country became a disaster and nightmare!!! one has to go to a hospital emergency and wait for 5 hours to see a doctor for a minor or any problem. What kind of country is that?
it's a country with a predominantrly publicly funded healthcare. Sadly or not, countries with private healthcare enjoy a much better healthcare situation.
@@MakeThatChange I'm not sure that is true, private health care doesn't deliver better results.
Why cant canada train their own health care staff? Free school n still no biters... u need to ask y that is A) inhuman policies and abuse.
Higher Education is not free, and healthcare staff salaries are not high ( with exception of doctors), while working conditions are difficult.
@@MakeThatChange Also you have the brain drain to contend with. Get a medical degree in Canada and move to the USA. Make as much money as you want.

Canadian Health CARE IS BROKEN
NURSING HOMES ARE BROKEN
1. waiting list to find a doctor👎
2. Waiting list to get critical surgery.👎
USA IS BEST IN THE WORLD
1. NO WAITING. FAST SERVICE.
I JUST DRIVE TO BUFFALO, NEW YORK
I had to wait like an hour to get blood drawn because of a computer issue recently, that's not a common thing where I live though. I was just unlucky, I'm happy with american healthcare. The healthier you are the more you save overall if you have decent insurance, some are left behind but that's the price you pay in a literal sense. Good services don't come for free and my work insurance is all I pay, Not much extra is taken from my check to go to Medicaid even. Best of all were not overburdened and undersupplied here in America cuz you get paid good for the job at pretty much every level of the field. Incentive creates a flourishing community my friends.
You don't have to have a family doctor to get medical care, it just makes it easier to have a home starting point. Yes there is waiting in the US, if you use insurance plans the preapprovals and referrals have waits involved. It isn't instant. I should know, I lived in Buffalo for 5 years, I've been in the GTA for almost a decade. Have used both systems, would NEVER go to Buffalo and pay for care that isn't better.
Speaking about employers, can we have a video speaking about the regular obligations of an employer and awareness signals that we must detect for a bad employer? Thank you
thank you for your topic suggestions - stay tuned on this!
Health care in canada is not free. Canadians are tax to death. Right know in canada you cant get a family physcian doctors and nurses shortage . 1 year or more to see a specialists . 9 hours or more waiting to see a doctor. You know when you know. Keeping it 💯.

I think you deserve more attention! That's high end content, huge amount of pure information without water. I see in ukranian immigration chats people are asking for this kind of important information and doing stupid mistakes just because of lack of knowledge and language. 🥲
