You claiming that everyone in canada agrees with your take on Canadians healthcare insurance model is an immature statement. Even in Texas, I've spoken to Canadians who disagree with your statement.
When I googled wait times in Canada, Even AI disagrees with you.
I can tell you that at least 77 million americans agree with me that Obamacare sucks.
I don't want to get into fights / arguments and cause bad blood over misread stuff...
But I never claimed every canadian agrees with my on healthcare, a good 50% of people are unhappy with healthcare. I said if you asked 1000 people if they would rather Canadian healthcare, or american healthcare... 999 out of 1000 would say Canadas healthcare...because while our universal healthcare isnt perfect, it beats going bankrupt - I even said we have our own issues...such as wait times, etc. Our doctors dont make as much because we're not private like America... So America steals our best talent.... another flaw in our healthcare.
We have plenty of flaws, and theres lots of room for improvement. As for AI... Google AI is always wrong, it will read forums posts and news posts and present it as facts. Every department is different - Coworker who had to wait 2 months to get his hernia fixed obviously was unahppy it took that long - Now if you say would you wait 2 months and get it for free, or would you rather pay $4-10,000 (What us charges) I can guarantee you he'd say he'd be willing to wait a year before he pays that. Some wait times are long, if its not life threatening, or if its in a department currently backed up like MRIS / CT scans, the wait can be forever - buddy who got diagnosed with cancer had to wait 30 days to get a CT scan because his pelvis wasnt healing... After he got that scan they found out he needed surgery... in a perfect world, he would have been prioritized and caught earlier - but again, I just googled pelvis surgery in USA and it said $50,000....
A LOT of canadians go through their whole life without needing a dr, and I'm sure to them they view it as money wasted..... but as a whole, almost every canadian agrees with universal healthcare, because it works - Some want there to be a 2 tiered system where we allow private healthcre to co-exist alongside the universal healthcare... But thats a whole different argument!
TLDR; Canadian healthcare not perfect, and some departments have long wait times... but thats because everything is prioritized on need... but even thats not perfect, Theres been cases where people waited in the ER And died due to a serious condition because they were put low on the triage list... nothing is perfect. I'm not saying Canadian healthcare is perfect or the best, I'm just saying when its used as a talking point whenever USA discusses healthcare... It gets thrown under the bus as some disaster of a system that no one would want in order to sway people away from thinking about obamacare or universal healthcare, or whatever you guys want to call it.
It's like when CNN / NYP Posts just left leaning news artictles.... For every 10 articles you find about Canadas healthcare sucking, you can find hundreds about it not.
And about Obamacare - I'll say it again... I dont know enough about it to say whether its good or sucks. Just as you don't know enough about Canadaian healthcare to say the same (Unless you've lived here and dealt with it) I remember when trump tried to gut it... And came out of the meeting saying "who knew healthcare was so hard" and didnt make many changes... Obamacare isn't perfect, but it should be a framework to make a better healthcare system... One better than Canada's.
I haven't heard any policies about healthcare this term though, is it still being re-worked, accepted as it is, or ignored for other issues?
