Canadian medical scam

• When I was applying for immigration to Canada, the Canadaina embassy in India made us all go thru so much rigourous medical tests and whatnot that we thought may be Canada has the best health care system there. However when we landed here , to our surprise we could not even see a doctor even after paying hefty premiums of the Health cards. Strange enough we went to the walk-in clininc where the doctor did see my wife who was havin stomach pain, and she just took less than 100 seconds for her to refer us for some tests - which were X-RAY and ULTRASOUND. More surprising when we called the clininc they said we have to wait a month for getting these two things done as we were in waiting list. God knows how we felt like kicking this country. Then when the pain became miserable someone suggested we go to emergency in an hospital. We sat for 7 hours and by that time my wife was like dying. One lady doctor keeping an eye on waiting patients (in case someone is about to die) came to check and said that my wife will live so wait more.
  
  That was it, I did shout at her and told her to tell her stupid govt to import more doctors than carpenters and refugees. I paid cash t get the next avaialble flight back to India where in a matter of hours we got into the world highest class MAX hospital and in minutes they diagnosed her and my wife was perfect in a few days. When they advertise about Canada immigration they claim world highest health care system and best hospitals and all free for immigrants, they are propagating fraud. Canada has worst healthcare system even below some under developed countries. I have lived in many countries and have seen persoanlly the level of expertise. Canada has under qualified doctors, no accessable healthcare, high premiums in many states, and above all costly medicines in whole world.Indian medical system is at least 50 times superiror than the present Canadian system and its better than US today. I am surrendering my PR status back to this country which caused me so much loss of money and pain. I strongly advise others as well to stay away from this country if you are making considerable good in your home country as you cannot make more than $3000-4000 a month max (majority even less than half of that) and you pay 605 of that towards rent and bills and in the end you are struggling hand to mouth.Over this you dont have any doctors.
  To hell with Canada, I am out.
