  1. The barriers are not financial, it's the very stiff competition to get accepted for the fewer than needed positions that's the problem. If the candidate has less than a 95% grade average from their undergrad degree in sciences, don't bother applying. If you're indigenous or a person of colour, a little less will do.

  2. Complete BS. Medical school positions are 3/4 subsidized as it is in Canada and it's very inexpensive compared to some countries. A motivated and intelligent candidate will easily get loans when they get accepted and will be be able to pay their loan back in a few short years.

  3. That sounds absolutely frightening. you don't even need a doctor, you just need a computer to determine what drug to give you according to what Pharma prefers for their profit line! No thanks, I prefer real health care from my Naturopath.. there's always the hospital emergency in case of a car accident.

  4.  @Oilers1972  Medical school graduates can afford their relatively inexpensive Canadian medical school fees and can pay what they owe in student loans much more easily than most. Why would you assume the taxes paid by those who earn far less should pay it? There are better uses of tax revenues. My preference would be to have full coverage of Naturopathic medicine as this would result in a healthier population requiring fewer drugs, surgeries and hospital stays.

  5. When a health system is set up to provide pharmaceutical industry profits and not health outcomes of the patients, what do you expect? Why do you think ivermectin wasn't allowed here? I prefer consulting with my Naturopath because he cares about my health and has non pharma options for most issues. It's no coincidence that I'm 66, in perfect health, not on any meds and vax free.

  6. You can start figuring out some basics for yourself instead, such as consuming a litre of pure cranberry juice per day for 2-3 days eliminates the infection. Another tip; you get far better care from a Naturopath. Not cheap but worth it.

  7. Peru is a small market but eventually the pharmaceutical industry will control it too.

  8. Finding a family doctor is difficult. Finding a good one is harder, you need to really know what to look for.

  9.  @mg79277  They don't need a yearly checkup. I never had one until I was 21. The checkups are there to facilitate the next vaccination they want to give.

  10.  @MedicalAutonomyProject  That's likely more accurate

  11. This isn't news. It is and always has been all about the funding.. our health care (aka drug cartel priorities) is rationed.

  12. Tip; when a new walk-in clinic opens that's usualy a new family practice that will evolve from it so go there and sign up but be careful. Always look up the education and credentials of the doctor first. I only will go with one who did both their undergrad and medical training in Canada so that I know they had to compete at the highest level to get their spot in medical school (not paid their way in) and can communicate well in English.

  13. LOL.. what will you do when you find a lump???

  14.  @deborahstone9696  Find a good Naturopath. Kidney stones are easily dealt with by taking a supplement called chanka piedra.

  15. That's funny. This program isn't posted to find or offer solutions, it's just paying the salaries of those who made it. The whole point of pharmaceutical industry control is to facilitate the goal by creating a crisis then codifying what treatment is acceptable according to their profit margins. It can be managed via computer and online "visits". Why do you think ivermectin was kept away from us when dozens of countries had it available over the counter?

  16. Do most people have insurance coverage to be able to access the private clinics?
