The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

It was a survey. Not everybody in Canada has the means. Here's where a lack of critical thinking skills starts to bite: Why would so many Canadians WANT to go to the US if their healthcare system was so Awesomely Awesome?


No. You actually have to look at the questions and how they ask them. There are many reasons to visit walk in clinics in the US; I've done my fair share and paid out of pocket. Many reasons. I told you the advised method for getting an appointment with booked up specialists. I haven't been to Canada for forty years, so - do they have a lack of availability of walk in clinics? Is the main reason that lack of availability? So how do you get a round of diabetic meds, antibiotics, etc., if you find you need them, and quickly - and you can't wait til Monday? In the US it's easy - walk in clinics, open on weekends, and some actually take your insurance.
