American medicine is better than Canada’s panel for medical approvement.

In Canada, there are providence that have a three month waiting list to cardiologist. Long waiting list for emergency care is only one issue the singer payer plan has. Googie, a massage therapist from the east cost of Canada had a genetic disorder that caused her to go blind before the age of 40. She knew what the disorder was and she knew what treatment she needed in order to avoid going blind. She was denied the steroid shot in her eye. She was denied in part because the review panel that possessed the power to approve the treatment was not educated on ethnic conditions. Googie was from India but she lived in Canada for more than 15 years with the singer payer health plan and a secondary provider. After searching and finding an Indian doctor that was familiar with the disorder, Googie attempted to plead for the medical treatments but was denied for the second time. Googie became totally blind. She read braile and used a seeing cane. The Indian doctor decided to sneak Googie into his office and he gave her the shots. Today, Googie drives her children around town and has resumed her medical massage therapy in lymphedema management.

When a panel has the power to control your health care, the panel will lean on the side that signs the pay checks. The rich white (or common person) will have the most benefits because they will have the power to pay privately or buy off the panel. People that are poor or have uncommon disorders will be pushed to the side. It is easier to pay for 100 known medical problems that are known to response to certain treatments then it is to waste time and money on a person with an unknown condition.
