A Canadian who lived their “universal healthcare” system for 32 years just gave Americans the reality check everyone pushing “Medicare for All” needs to hear.
She didn’t rant. She showed the receipts:
• Nearly 200,000 emergency patients waited 48+ hours for a hospital bed last year alone.
• Almost 1 million Canadians now leave the ER without care because the wait is too long (up fivefold in some reports).
• ER doctors warn these delays are lethal.
• 5.9 million adults still have no regular family doctor.
• Specialist waitlists are exploding — median 28.6 weeks from GP referral to treatment. Some doctors are closing practices to new patients.
• Only 2.5 hospital beds per 1,000 people — well below the OECD average. Hallway medicine is routine. Patients die on stretchers.
Her line hits hard:
“We want universal healthcare… until we learn.”
She’s not wrong. Canada’s single-payer model gives coverage on paper but delivers rationing by queue in practice. Long waits aren’t a bug — they’re the feature when government controls supply and prices.
America’s system is also broken: crushing costs, administrative bloat, and real gaps for the uninsured or underinsured. We spend nearly twice as much per person and still have problems.
The solution isn’t importing Canada’s waiting rooms. It’s fixing supply (train more doctors/nurses, cut red tape), adding real competition and price transparency, expanding HSAs/direct primary care, and protecting innovation.
Be informed before you trade one set of problems for another.
This is the judge who ruled that I was not allowed to speak my abuser's name out loud. Forever. Past, present, and future.
If I wanted to warn another woman about the man who hurt me, I faced $10,000 in fines and jail time for each warning.
It's adorable that he thought I wouldn't fight back with everything I had.
It took me 441 days to get it overturned. And now I make up for lost time by making him famous. Meet Judge Pickerill. The man who stole my voice to protect a serial predator.
🚨 BREAKING: In a jaw-dropping revelation, Sec. Brooke Rollins found 5,000 DEAD PEOPLE getting SNAP, and 500,000 PEOPLE getting SNAP "2 times under the same name."
"This light has now been shined one of the most CORRUPT, DISFUNCTIONAL programs in American history!"
🔥🚨 LMAO! Fox News just ran Eric Swalwell and Graham Platner’s video responses to sexual misconduct allegations side-by-side.
The scripts are almost WORD-FOR-WORD identical!
Democrats are really using the same playbook. Clown show exposed.
I never in my life thought I would see the day that I am sitting at Charlie Kirk’s pretrial because a radical progressive lunatic decided to murder him over his political beliefs.
My heart completely breaks for Erika Kirk because she did absolutely nothing to deserve the nightmare this madman has forced upon her.
I woke up early on July 4th to a call from my friend, mentor, and fellow Florida Congressman @RepBrianMast.
Brian had a problem — a group of his constituents were supposed to march in the Independence Day Parade, which had been cancelled due to the insane heat.
To try to salvage their day, Brian wanted to give them a private tour of the Capitol. One problem — a Member can only bring 100 people in at a time and this group was estimated at 150.
He asked if I’d throw on some clothes and head over to help get the group in.
Brian Mast is a war hero, and at some point he’ll learn that when he asks me to do something, he can just assume the answer is yes.
To my surprise, when I showed up, the group turned out to be kilt-wearing, bagpipe-playing firefighters, mostly from all over Florida, but from more than a dozen states too.
We got them into the Capitol, and in the Dome of our Democracy, these heroes decided to put on a performance of their own. No bagpipes, just voices.
The fireworks were great. But jumping out of bed to help these heroes get a private tour of our nation’s Capitol on Independence Day?
That was the highlight.
Thanks, Brian, for embodying the best of America and letting me play a tiny part in helping you yesterday.
