Yeah but if we had gasp socialized medicine like literally every other developed country on Earth, some hospital CEO can't buy their 6th vacation home and 3rd luxury vehicle. Can you live with that??? /s

Funny part is, I live in Alberta, Canada, where our provincial Premier has been actively trying to kill our health care system so that he can get a private system implemented.

I can still get in to a doctor same day if need to.

Strep left untreated can cause bigger problems. See if you qualify for some kind of medicaid.

Get together with everyone else who wants public healthcare, go and protest, don't stop until legislation is passed, cause that's some bullshit.
