@theonlycanadianbacon: It’s also not free lol. You’ll pay high taxes whether you use it or not. Also, 70% of Canadians have additional private insurance to pay for all the extras. Again, be careful what you wish for.

If Canada’s healthcare can’t handle a population of approximately 40 million people, how can universal healthcare in the US handle a population of 350 million??

My daughter is a RN in a Canadian Regional hospital emergency department. One of the major problems that contribute to the crisis is people use emerg as a family doctor

I learned this a LONG time ago with a Canadian friend who’s dad was told he’d have to wait 6 months to see a doctor for the CANCER he’d been diagnosed with. SMDH.

We're kinda headed that way in the US with ridiculous certificate of need regulations that favor large legacy providers (monopolies).

And what is the population of Canada vs America? That's a big part of the problem. We have 7-8 times the population of Canada.

Hell D. Iver :
Our healthcare system in the United States sucks, let’s not make it worse by socializing it. The same people that are upset that Roe V Wade got overturned, and their ability to get an abortion was changed, think that we should give the power over healthcare to the government. Same situation it’s there and then overnight it’s not. People who want to give that power to the government are not critical thinkers.

2 things can be true. Our healthcare system is broken here and Universal Healthcare is terrible. It’s going to take someone smarter than me to figure it out. Thank you for making some notes to educate us!

Many people think Universal Healthcare is "FREE", not knowing how much they are taxed to compensate for the "FREE".
There is no "FREE" anything that the government provides.
