A good analogy is public healthcare in Canada-- you could die while waiting a VERY long time to get mid-urgency surgery which is rationed.

My Canadian colleagues complain about the waiting for mid-urgency (revision from my previous post) surgical procedures.



All is explained. How many of your Canadian colleagues have died while waiting for mid-urgency surgical procedures? Uh-huh. Thought so.

I’m Canadian by origin, moved to the US by job transfer 10 years ago. When I lived in Canada I complained about the medical system too. Everyone does. My relatives still do. They still have a system that’s insanely better than what we have here in the US. Ask your Canadian colleagues if they’d vote for scrapping the Canadian system in favor of a US-style private insurance system.
