    racism is a bad issue but, guess what health care sucks! most doctors especially in ER's in canada just want a pay check and nothing more, ive been to hospitals with broken wrists, broken legs, and dislocated knees the only time it didn't take 2 visits to get them diagnosed as broken was with my knee, its not just an aboriginal issue its a health care issue. the traditional medicine is horse crap that man looks like he is about to push up daisies. and if that's the medicine they want its no wonder why doctors wont take them seriously! lastly the no beer prescription while that's ridiculous. its nothing less than what some of my friends and coworkers have gone through. for smoking and drinking.

Because natives are literally just Stone Age people 97% of planet earth went threw a metal age about 5000 years ago every culture on the planet went threw this except for natives for some reason and it really shows today in a modern society that natives simply can’t perform complex tasks as they are literally just walking Stone Age fossils 😊

    It isn't just Native people. It is anyone with a low income. I was thrown out of the hospital after being hit in the head with a hammer. In fact, I was CHASED out by St Paul security guards all because I asked for something to help with the concussion I was definitely suffering. I couldn't walk very well, Couldn't talk very well, couldn't wake up and needed some help to cook. I just couldn't get it together after the hit to my head. They actually CHASED me out of the hospital where I moved as fast as I could, but having trouble walking, ended up on the ground outside the side door of ER at St Pauls. They never did help me at the hospital. While I was there I watched them throw other people out of the ER. One was a woman with a broken foot that had had a car door slammed on it. They just tossed her out into the parking lot where she hobbled away crying. And she was a white woman.

Ive worked in health care and so many natives come in because they don't take care of themselves , due to drug alcohol issues. this report is very inaccurate, and doesn't address the issue of addiction in the native community and the need for more health services on reserve that can meet their long term needs.

      Laurie W The issue isn't racism it's healthcare... this is ridiculous.
