remember that time canadian socialized medicine told a vet in a wheelchair that it would take too long to get the help she needs so wouldn’t it be better if she just euthanized herself?
there’s pros and cons to every system
edit: just to be clear, i agree nobody should have some insane medical debt from a broken arm. in american when i broke my arm i went to a private doctor and paid a couple hundred bucks. it was fine, not in the poor house over it.
That doesn’t sound like a problem with socialized medicine, so much as a problem with Canada’s socialized healthcare system.
Like I’m pretty sure their right wing has been doing everything they can to dismantle their healthcare system. That’s definitely going to reduce the speed and quality of care.
As opposed to not say anything and quietly watching them die?
My wife works in the American Hospital system. Had a old homeless guy come into the ER because his foot didn’t exist anymore, and they gave him some pills and kicked him back into the street.
So the problem is that we know about it? Because you know that happens everyday silently with the homeless in America. You just don’t have to hear about it.
Socialized healthcare is infinitely better. It’s not perfect. Nothing’s perfect.
