Look doc, sorry if you ate worried about not getting a Lamborghini for your old lady if some version of universal care come to the US. BUT, you need to calm down.
What happened to Natasha Richardson was a tragedy. I won't say it wasn't. But guess what, people die of brain bleeds every day. Even here. But what we have here as health care is a joke for a giant portion of folks. People like us don't have to worry about paying for health care or paying for food and a place to live. Many more of our neighbors than you would like to believe face just those choices every day.
Basic universal care works up in Canada. No matter your opinion or not.

Works for who? Waiting months for basic procedures, procedures using outdated surgical techniques? You think its ok to wait an average of nearly 20 weeks between seeing a GP for referral before seeing a specialist? My grandfather had to wait over 6 months for cataract surgery. You are clueless

It’s not.

Eh. They spend over 11% of GDP on healthcare. The individual provinces fund their healthcare systems and it takes up about 40% of each province’s budget. Costs aren’t going down there either. From 2001 to 2016, their costs went up 116%. And that’s all with low access to what are common technological pieces of the healthcare puzzle in the US.
IOW, costs have skyrocketed there the same as here and they have longer wait times and less access to technology.
If you’d like to emulate that here, you are welcome to try.
