There is a push to reform the way they handle long term care in Canada, but it's not something people think about until it happens to them. Mental health care is generally like that. Do some reading on the lack of autistic services up in Canada and the efforts people are trying to go through to improve the lack of support up there. The services are severely lacking.
I had to deal with it in 2010-11, and it's only gotten worse from people we talk to still dealing with it. Don't blindly think that just because you can get your broken arm fixed for cheap or no cost that it means health care is a solved problem in other countries. Coming to the US, it was 100% cheaper, available now, and better compared to anything Canada remotely offered, even looking at private services.
- ashark 11y agoIs it a problem that's more pronounced in some provinces than others? My understanding was that there's a nationwide mandate to provide universal insurance, but that the details are left to the provinces. As for mental healthcare in particular: thanks for the insight, I know very little about how that works in other countries. Seems like an area with room for improvement just about everywhere, unfortunately. I'll definitely keep that kind of thing in mind when reading on related topics in the future.
