But what we have here as health care is a joke for a giant portion of folks.

It’s not.

Basic universal care works up in Canada.

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.
