Nice coming from a guy who wants MRI for headaches. | I didn't say I want MRI for headaches you stupid fuck. If you knew anything about US medical system, you'd know they give those fucking scans out like candy on Halloween. I spend 1-3 weeks every month in various US hospitals radiology departments, that's how I know, if you were wondering.
Now STFU and mop that floor bitch.

2) Obviously he's a devout right-winger, and mostly this was a rebuttal to the idea that universal health care is the way to go for America. Lefties will use Canada as an example of it being good, and Righties will use it as an example of the opposite. Both are right. Brock used this as an example of the fact that he might be living with a poop-bag attached to his ass for the rest of his life if private facilities didn't exist.
3) Brock is a constant performer. That is why he is such a big star. He knows what to say to get headlines. The fact that this is the hottest thread in the RS off topic forum tells you this. It's probably all over other non-MMA related forums as well. People who agree with him will love him, people will disagree will hate him. Either way, he makes money and becomes a bigger star for it, so all the power to him  |
As MMA fans, we get Brock's thinking and his attitude.
But like Skinnypupp said, He was in bumfuck Manitoba, i'm pretty sure he wouldn't make the same complaint if he was in say Vancouver/T.O.
As for medic care in canada, i like what we have. But if I was as rich as brock, and had UFC covering cost. I would say the same damn things. Who needs any other hospitals when I could go to the Mayo Clinic.

I informed the nurses on duty several times of my pain and requested to see a doctor immediately. If they cannot recognize someone curled into a ball on the floor puking into a bucket - well that's highlights the problem with our healthcare system.

Is healthcare becoming like the self-checkout at the grocery store? Do I have to do your job too even though I'm already paying you?

In Taiwan, you wont see a case like taylor192 suffering in the hospital.... everyone gets immediate attention when they're needed it. There is no wait for emergency and from what taylor192 described, it is considered as an emergency when a person is curled into a ball on the floor puking into a bucket.
Is it just me or hospital in Canada are lack of doctors ?? I've been to canada hospitcal once for a surgery, I hardly see anyone was working there while the seats were full of patients. It was like the scene straight from "Silent Hill" where the hospitcal is quite dead and full of ill patients

Obviously the current American system sucks ass for people who can't afford insurance, and a public option would be great.
The topic of this discussion is Canadian healthcare quality versus American. The American system wins in that category, efficient or not.

I waited behind people with the flu and sprained ankles, while I was curled in a ball on the floor puking.
Its how our "fair" system works. I wasn't in immediate danger of dieing (although they wouldn't know since a doctor didn't see me) so I had to wait my turn.
If your argument our system is "fair", then so be it. Brock's argument is that "fair" system suck for those who can afford better care and I agree with him. I would have paid for faster care.
---
Hint: My sisters gave me great advice after than incident. Always call an ambulance, especially if you have a work health pan that covers it. If you're brought in by an ambulance, you skip the queue in the ER.
"fair" eh?
