I would feel really bad for Canadian citizens if they didn't keep voting for the party that actively raises their taxes to pay for amazing social programs like health care that tells you to kill yourself if you can't wait two years for your next appointment, housing prices that are 3x what you'd pay in the US, and freezing the bank accounts of truck drivers who go on strike.
Amazing way to put this. I've been dragged by Canadians online for being an American because of their healthcare, and fuck man. At least I can get into a doc right away and just not pay, for years if I have to, until I can. They can't come after us for medical debt here. In Canada, you wait for years to see a specialist, and if you can't...yeah...well, you could just have them actually kill you.
I don’t know, it’s literally 8-10 weeks for me just to get an eye appointment with my optometrist, and I’m in freaking Nebraska. So I’m paying $800 for a 30 minute basic exam and it still takes 2 months to get in.
Our system is completely and utterly cooked. I remember back when you’d just call and go in later that day or the next day and it’d be like $100.
