In My World Everyone Eats Rainbows and Poops Butterflies
THE PRICE IS TOO DAMN HIGH!
But srsly, Canada’s awesome.
for the love of god. 350 poke is = to 350 yen…which is roughly $3.50 american dollars. thats some damn cheep vending machine lemonade
lolno
Vending machine lemonade is about a buck fifty here (half-litre ish) in Manitoba.
Costs more in large urband centres, and if you’re at an airport be prepared to pay at least one child and your car for lemonade. (LoL) But I understand that that’s a world-wide phenomena.
Wait does the loch nes monster own this vending machine?
In Canada we’re allowed to have lemonade stands
LOL its funny because its true
It’s 350 yen, it’s actually 4.49 Canadian. Which is still a ripoff
you spelled pokedollars wrong. do you even know what the symbol for yen is?
You know the currency is yen-based, so it translates closer to $3.50, but I guess it’s still double what I would expect to pay for lemonade. It better be a REALLY big bottle.
I’m pretty sure it’s a can, so it probably isn’t that big.
There are 1 litre cans.
aww man im second.
Getting any treatment you need at the flash of an insurance card feels pretty awesome I must say.
Oh, the treatment is there – if you care to wait 12-24 hours.
No Joke.
My mother had a minor stroke. I took her in at 9:15 am.
She saw a doctor at 10:20 that night.
That delay contributed to her death a month later.
Canada’s health system is rife with incompetence, greed and stupidity.
Free? Sure. And you get what you pay for.
12-24 hours is short for where I live in BC. Our hospital doesn’t even have Emergency treatments after 6 PM weekdays, or any time on weekends.
You can have free health care and delays… or be broke when you get healthcare immediatly
Or be like 85% of Americans who have health insurance through their jobs. Better to be broke than dead.
We have 3 Major hospitals in our great province of Alberta, and at least 10 minor ones to boot. And considering our (Canadian) population is around 5% of the USA, his mother and him were either;
1.REALLY Unlucky
2.Living in N.W.T, Nunavut or the Yukon.
I am sorry for your loss, but it is not the healthcare systems fault. Their may have been epidemic or pandemic happening at the time. Maybe a major accident hit your Province/Territory or city. My mother works at the hospital, and accepts people from around central Alberta, and still has enough space and time to have a plan in place for one of the REALLY BIG hospitals shutting down or filling up.
Population of Canada is 10% of the US.
More doctors from Canada go to work in the States than anywhere else if not staying in Canada.
Alberta has 89 hospitals (and one new one being built in South Calgary) and medical clinics for a population of 3.7 million. About 1 hospital for every 41000 people.
BC has 133 hospitals with a population of 4.5 million. Even with 1 hospital per 38000 people, many emergency rooms aren’t even open 24 hours. Man y hospitals no longer do services like delivering babies (Princeton, BC is one example).
The Yukon has 2 hospitals for 34000, and NT has 5 hospitals for 45000 people (Yes, I know, it’s a huge vast Territory). I’m really doubting access was a major problem. Delivery of services due to waiting times because surgeons are only allowed so many surgeries per year under Medicare, and doctors only have so much time in the day to see patients is the problem.
Washington State, for example, has 6.6 million people and 115 hospitals, but wait times are still far less than in Canada. As an example, the AB government wait times website lists hip replacement surgery as an average of 10 months. In Washington the same surgery averages one to two months.
It’s not free, it’s pre-pay.
And for most people, it’s EXTRA pre-pay over and above what they actually get.
Still sounds wonderful? Great, the lobotomy worked. Hand over your credit card so we can charge you for it.
It’s pre-paid as in it’s part of our taxes? As in the kind of taxes we’d be paying anyways? Meanwhile you’re spending a small fortune every time you go to the hospital?
It might not be totally “free”, but it’s still better than the system in America. Frankly I’d rather have my taxes going into someone’s medical expenses than funding a war that’s going to put us even deeper in debt.
agreed
AMEN! +1
Canadians have a different attitude towards healthcare than Americans fo. All of us pay into it, so when we need it, it will be there. Americans don’t have a tradition of thinking about the other guy, of thinking about the common good. Americans are raised to be more competitive at the expense of others.
The problem is in America I’ll be paying taxes towards fatties and smokers who need help due to their own stupidity. That is not the American way. I’m sorry but screw that. If you want to pay for that, donate to charities. Me? I’ll be paying my bills with my money tyvm.
agreed, Americans are too fat to even consider making everyone pay for their health problems. Healthcare for peoples like Canadians and Australians is easier, we don’t have to deal with the multitude of fat bothering us.
Mmmm I dunno… The UK has quite a few fatties too, but we manage
except, it would justify a tax on cigarettes and fatty foods that would pay for exactly that, i think some countries already do that
Don’t kid yourself, there are waaay too many obese Canadians than there should be. My point is, we all pay into it, and it’s available when we need it. If Americans are able to put aside self interest and think of the greater good, then maybe someday they’ll have a universal healthcare system too. I highly doubt that they will, though.
I guess your themesong is Let There be Guns by the Arogant Worms then. After all by paying taxes for police all we are doing is helping people who can’t protect themselves and their property because the their own incompotence.
It’s prepay as in we pay about 30% more than Americans on our income taxes for the same rate of pay. No, scratch that…Canada’s tax rate starts lower (you pay taxes sooner than in the US), the rates are higher, and end at a higher rate than in the US. So, no, you’re not really paying those taxes anyway. Besides which, some provinces also have premiums on top of the higher tax rates, which for me, as a single person, is over $1000 a year. Meanwhile, user fees at hospitals mean you pay yet again. Oh! And you want discount prescriptions, eye or dental coverage? Yep, you get to pay more, again, for extended health care. In my case almost $2500 a year. Long story short, I pay about $2100 in taxes going to health care, $1000 in premiums for basic health care, and $2500 for extended health care to get dental and eye care. Which, by the way, is $500 more than the average American pays in a year for health care. So much for free or prepaid.
Move to Alberta, were we only have a 5% tax on what we buy. Gotta love the oil sands!
Oil sands have nothing to do with the lack of a provincial sales tax.
True!
i wrote true to A canadians comment all the wayt up and ended up down here wtf
Riiight…because Lemonade now costs $350 in Canada.
Convert 350 yen into Canadian $. That equals about 4.50. And it costs that much for a tall glass of lemonade. We also don’t feed it to our pets…
You can get the poké-fetus sucked out of your uterus if you choose so, for free, in Québec. We don’t even have a pro-choice organised movement in Québec because freedom of choice for women isn’t questioned here.
Enjoy your theocracy, USA and Harper-Canada.
Hate to burst your bubble, but Ontario doesn’t charge you for removal of poké-fetus’ either.
Enjoy being douchebags Quebec
@Orly: Uh, excuse me? Abortions are covered by OHIP here in Ontario and have been for a very long time. You can get off your Quebecois high horse any time now.
I hate to burst your bubble, but Harper governenment stopped funding family planning in less developped countries if they included abortion. You have no idea of the mess you’re heading to.
cry me a river
Well they are willing to share their tar sand oil with us. So I will go easy on them. Even if their health care program is failing.
You are living proof that not all Americans are douches.
AHMEN!!!
Woah, so I’m drinking freacking gold right now?
Except for when you have to pay for parking.
I made the pokemon meme. lol
Pokemon, it copied most of the developed world by having state funded health care
I went to the hospital recently to see someone, my girlfriend and I were hungry so we ate cafeteria food, it was 5 dollars for soup, therefore I feel this submission is pretty accurate.
Of course it’s free to WALK into a hospital. Getting medical treatment at said hospital, however, will cost you one way or the other.
^This.
i dont get it……
Taxes, free according to everyone else.
Wow. That was accidental. I accidentally started an argument between the two greatest countries on earth… oops.
New Law of the Internet: If you mention Canada, it is inevitable that there will be a healthcare debate.
china and japan? where?
Canada and America, the new world. Read the comments before you speak… it helps.
Forget all this jive… what really sucks for us Canucks is that our own “national” brand of beer is half the price in New York than what it is here.
I’m pretty sure pokemon was out before canada had free health care
We’ve had free health care for more than 12 years. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but we’ve had it around 60 years universally.
Here is the flaw: Doctor- “Sir, you have cancer, but it is operatable.” Man- “Oh thank goodness, when can I get an appointment?” Doctor- “Our next opening is in 5 months, Hope you survive until then”
Just to be fair, however, Canada has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, the reason? Most houses have, on average, 1.5 guns, at least one for hunting. A robber that knows a house is armed to the teeth is less likely to rob it.
Err, no…Canada has one of the lowest gun ownership rates per capita in the world, and in fact, the crime rate per capita in Canada is higher than in any of the states that border a Canadian province. Yes, even New York state.
giving half your pokedollars for an emergency room visit, now free
You don’t walk into a poke-center if you have a white-out. Quite frankly, if your dying i Canada, you pay for the ambulance that drives you to the hospital (It is technically a ‘transport vehicle’ and as such costs money like a bus)
