@dwarff32@KeyserSoese@politvidchannel Fun fact - Canadians pay about the same or LESS when you compare apples to apples. Example: we don’t pay health insurance because it’s included in our taxes. There’s lots of other examples. On same basis our taxes are actually NOT higher. Facts matter.
@KeyserSoese@politvidchannel Flat out untrue. I’ve had MRI’s in days or weeks & family in hospital has had them immediately.. within an hour. The Canadian system is NEEDS based and those with higher need get rushed to front of the line. Yes, low priority cases wait longer, most of us get that.
@bachelor99@gfuentespr@ResisttheMS Check your facts & you might be surprised. Better health outcomes, lower cost, no cost to patients. Wait times get all the press, but facts say Canada’s system takes better care of population’s health despite the problems
@d_carter99@gfuentespr@ResisttheMS Canadian health system has better outcomes at far lower cost. Wait times for elective/lower-priority services are long and inconsistent across the country, true there.

@legitbrittFLA@gfuentespr@ResisttheMS Wait times for low-priority/elective services are bad, I’ll give you that. BUT urgent things are handled very quickly, patients pay nothing, and medical bankruptcy doesn’t exist. Objectively, Canada’s system has better health outcomes. Trade offs I’d take any day.
@DefiantLs Comparing apples to apples, Canada’s taxes are lower and our services far better. Remember that our taxes include health care with better overall outcomes and we don’t have copayments, deductibles and medical bankruptcies.. they’re not a thing here.
@AlisonMRobinson@DefiantLs True there. We’d also want the other states to have what we ALREADY have .. “medicare for all” with no copayments or deductibles, better vacation policies, mat leave, extended parental leave and reasonable minimum wages.
(PS and lower taxes actually)
@North49N2N@PhilipSmeeton@ASvanevik@hagaetc For the same reason everyone votes for the guy who says he'll cut your taxes, but forgets to tell you how he'll pay for all the services you want/need
@billydumaurier@Pmd722@BernieSanders Ah, there's the rub .. the U.S. pays MORE for health care than other countries. You could have single payer health care *AND* lower costs. How much would you save if didn't have to pay health insurance? Your health insurance industry would suffer though.
@dwins60@BernieSanders@RobertKennedyJr The U.S. could afford it *now* if you chose. The US spends more on health care per capita than any other country and gets far worse results.
@PaigeS_PR@RogersHelps@Rogers Yes, our entire neighbourhood BYRON is down.
Cable just came back up in our house, but only one or two channels work. Everything else shows "we're having some trouble" and channel is not available.
