The Surgeon who did triple bypass was born in Lebanon immigrated to Canada at 11 and my Surgeon who put in pacemaker is Canadian born but Hong Kong parents. Multiracial staff working in harmony. People who are against immigration are idiots.

Well I'm getting a 1st hand look at the Canadian healthcare system and I guess you can judge by my experience how is would compare with a USA plan? On Wednesday evening January 3rd. about 11.30 I had chest pains and my wife called EMS and they were there with in 15minutes. They checked me out trying to stableize everything. I arrived at the hospital at about 12.30 and was immediately put in a tirage room where blood tests were preformed and my vitals monitored.
The blood tests revealed I did have a heart attack and I was scheduled for more testing in the Heart Investigation Unit Thursday morning where I had X-Rays, EKGs and a Cardiac Angiogram. It was obseved that it was serious enough to require open heart surgury. I was moved to ICU to make sure I was stable where I was monitired. The local hospital does minor cardiac operations like stents but they will send me to a Hospital 30 miles away which specializes in cardiac operations. This morning Sat. 6th moved to medical telemetry ward. I have more freedom have a portable monitor. I have never bought extra health insurance. But my room is private about 600 sq. ft. and has a private bathroom with shower it is one of the larger room in the ward.
The quality of the nursing and medical staff has been top notch and they have carefully explained everything to both myself and my wife. My open heart surgury is scheduled for Tuesday and I will be transported to the hospital Monday evening. Hospital food is hospital food but wife and friends bring in more satisfying but healthy food. I'm sure SD20 would say I'm sucking off the public teet but I still have a productive life left. You also must also remember Canada utilizes 10.7% of GDP for healthcare.
After the operation both hospitals will be getting a very generous donation from me which will more than cover my costs.
In my conversations with the doctors and nurses the biggest problem they have with the healthcare system is people utilizing the Emergency Ward unnessarily. Every doctor, nurse, porter and cleaning staff I've been in contact with are the ultmost professional. I'm likely getting less care than most because I'm mobile and don't require much that much attention.
This is January 10th. I am being moved to the other hospital for surgury in the morning by EMS. I had a delay simply because my condition was very stable and others were more of an emergency. Everything was explained to me and the follow-up care with my cardiologist has been carefully planned. My understanding is that after the surgury my recovery will be 4 to 10 days depending on my recovery. I had a triple bypass I nended up with a triple bypass with excecent results. I was up walk everything stable was scheduled out of ICU but my pulse rate went from 95 to spike to 300. I was skillfully put on my bed and was electroshocked and fine within 10 seconds. The concensus was that they should install a pacemaker. This is Tuesday 16th and operation scheduled for 3.10 pm. But had to be rescheduled till the next morning 12 pm the next day. The operations was swift and professional and out in 25 minutes. I was transfered to a recovery ward and and will be released in the afternoon.
The treatment by the Surguens, Technicians, Nurses, Doctors and rebhab staff has been excellent. I am a particular person so it is a honest acessment. Total cost to me as a patient $0.

LOL, there's about 15 sitting Congressmen tweeting about it right now. It's legit. No "reputable" (meaning in-the-tank for Democrats) news sources are reporting it because they know how badly it damages Democrats.
This is really big stuff. Basically, Obama's DOJ, the Clinton campaign, and the FBI illegally surveilled Trump (and probably other candidates) in the election by utilizing NSA database queries without a warrant. They then laundered that illegally obtained intelligence through back channels to Fusion GPS, who helped Christopher Steele write the dossier using information from that illegally obtained NSA data. It was that dossier, laundered to appear like it was legitimate, independent intelligence, that was then used to mislead the FISA court into obtaining a FISA warrant so that they could legally surveill Trump.
This makes Watergate look like a picnic. The Obama Administration permitted NSA surveillance to be weaponized against a political opponent. You don't have to believe me. It's going to come out eventually. People are going to go to jail for this.

If I'm judging Trump supporters solely by their tweets, they're some of the nastiest (bigoted) people you'll ever encounter.
But maybe I'm a snowflake.. as I was told.

He is going to expose it all. and fix it all. You guys really think it is blind luck that our unemployment rates are at historic lows in less than 12 months??? That our stock market took off?? That trillions of dollars are repatriating into the US with 2 weeks of the his tax reform?????
