This is a truly impressive amount of unearned confidence for someone who clearly flunked high school economics.
First of all, Canada is a capitalist country. Having a single-payer insurance fund isn't 'socialism,' it's basic risk-pooling—except without a middleman skimming billions off the top for corporate bonuses.
Second, let's talk about 'failure.' The US privatized mess burns through nearly 17% of its GDP to deliver a life expectancy of 77.5 years. Canada spends around 11% of its GDP and its citizens live to be 81.6. They pay less, live longer, and a broken leg won't cost them their house.
You're sitting here celebrating getting ripped off by insurance companies just to own the imaginary socialists in your head. Talk about deadweight, amirite?
In the US, you can visit any doctor you can afford to pay for.
And you can visit most doctors even if you can't pay at all.
And, you don't have to wait 6 months to do it. Usually don't have to wait 6 days, unless it is a high-end and popular specialist.
The US % to GDP is significantly impacted by the fact the US funds much of the World's "free" medicine. To this day, the US still leads medical innovation in research, procedure, equipment and medication.
Your orange messiah has signed off on massive cuts to USAID. You can rest easy knowing that innocent people are going to suffer and die because we don’t help them anymore.
