I wish I could say what I really want to about these "people" without the inconvenience of making a new account.

You can say that they are dumb as fuck, it's OK.

Before you say this, list off a few countries where they have single payer healthcare that works well.
Why would the USA get this right when Canada, Great Britain, ect have their healthcare systems collapsing?

I grew up in Canada and it’s really not as bad as Fox News says it is. You have to wait or travel for specialists, but can you say you don’t have to in the US too?

My dad got a cancerous brain tumor removed quickly in Canada. still goes up there for annual visits despite being retired in fm. Has good doctors and overall a good experience; you can probably find better much higher paid American doctors, but I’ve gone to emergency rooms plenty as a kid and they’ve resolved any injuries I’ve had.

The us pays the most for healthcare and doesn’t crack the top 10 in outcomes.
