Yet you citicize Draisaitl, calling him a massive fool if he stays in Edmonton...that's rich.
I don't understand how a comment on a hockey player's contract with his club has anything to do with me, a private individual. Go ahead an explain what's rich.
As far as I know there's no "real" private health insurance in Quebec. You can pay to see a doctor in the private sector, can pay to get some tests done in the private sector, even surgeries can be done in the private sector, but we don't have a private hospital where you can stay for days/weeks and where everything can be done at once like in the states.
Could be wrong.
Yeah some level of medicine can only be delivered through the public system but general, regular healthcare can be treated in private. I reckon everyone above a certain wealth level is utilizing private medicine in some way or another in Canada.
Hospital are good in Quebec though. Not the best in the world but certainly good enough. The problem is general practitioner which you can get privately. Every time i went to the hospital i was well served. Most of the emergency waiting time problems can also be attributed to the general practitioner problem. Lot of people at the emergency should not be there. It's almost impossible to see a general practitioner in quebec if you don't have one and the quality of said general practitioners is often dubious anyway.
Hospitals in MTL are perfectly fine. Many Canadians are spoiled if they think their
hospitals are in bad shape. Some hospitals in other countries... woof. You're right it's generally a GP and primary care issue in Quebec/Canada... but the problem is severe. Surgery bandwidth is far too little too, but we digress.
My point is I don't think pro players are concerned so much about the healthcare/clinical situation in QC/MTL because for general things they have a simple solution: private, out-of-pocket.
