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.

I'm done with the GOP.

You've lost me.

You had your chance and you fucking blew it...

I was SO excited for this administration because of the promise of DOGE...

...but then I watched as the GOP do NOTHING while Elon's businesses were bombed and Teslas were vandalized

Not one vote.

Not a damn one.

Months went by. Still no votes.

We are now AT THE END OF MAY AND WE STILL HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE FUCKING VOTE ON THE DOGE CUTS!!!

THE END OF MAY!

My only conclusion can be that the GOP does not WANT to end the waste and fraud.

This is a sobering realization for everyone who was STOKED for Elon and DOGE.

Mark my words, this betrayal will haunt the GOP forever.

I will remember you choose to do nothing.

- you took photos with Elon
- you talked about DOGE
- you said you loved cutting waste and fraud

...but when it came time to do something, none of you did, NONE OF YOU

So, you've lost me.

You've lost my trust.

I thought you'd be different than the Democrats.

But I guess the GOP lies too.

And the only difference between the GOP and the Democrats seems to be that Democrats actually pass legislation...

...and the GOP does not

She has been charged with 4 counts of Assault & Battery with a deadly weapon and 12 counts of Assault & Battery.

However, her bail was only set to $1000. WHAT???
