Difference between US and Canadian Health Care
Posted by Peter Fuller in Random Thoughts on August 12th, 2009
I have been away giving birth to a kidney stone. I will not gross you out with the details.
I went to the emergency and had to wait my turn, a pain, but not the end of the world.
I was then admitted when it was discovered I was going through renal failure.
I then had to wait for my turn for surgery, a few days but the food was great.
After surgery I got to hang out at the hospital for another day.
Total cost to me, zero.
I did not have to mortgage my house.
I did not have to cash in securities.
Think about this.
How is it possible to take out a second mortgage for $100,000 and travel down to the US and not have to wait your turn for surgery.
The answer is that health care resources in the US are not fully utilized, but rather they sit waiting for the rich.
In Canada we do need to improve wait times, no doubt, but at least our system is fair.
Did I mention that they took very good care of me and it did not cost me a dime.

Jim Kukral gets it, the unnamed marketer does not!

Yesterday I came across two free reports, one promising to reveal the system for “stealing” massive affiliate commissions and the other offering me a $7.95 Marketing Plan.
The last thing I want to do is to criticize or put down another fellow marketer, so they remain nameless. However their free report was just a shameless sales page. The report offered me no value, not useful information, nothing to attract my interest to the author.
Jim Kukral on the other hand provided me with a fantastic free report with information that I started to use immediately.
Now I have no doubt the “unnamed” marketer will do very well selling his product. He hyped it well and it probably is a very good product. But he left a bad taste in my mouth with his free report and I doubt I would ever buy anything from him.
Kukral on the other hand gave me value.
Now I follow him and I have no doubt I will purchase some of his products or use his services in the future.
