    LOL, I’d take state run health care 6 days a week and twice on sunday over the LITERAL HELLSCAPE we get in the US.

    it’s literally socialism! GASP! Like firefighters and police and the military… this isn’t the scary bugaboo you think it is.

      Dude, you can’t:

      • Say the US healthcare system is worse than Canada’s

      • Blame private interest for this being the case

      • Then use Canada’s public healthcare system doing something awful, as an example to prove this.

      Blaming something bad that Canada’s healthcare system is doing on “late stage capitalism” is completely backwards.

        The health care system is using a hammer to put in a screw, because it’s all they’ve got in the face of a housing crisis.

        In other words, this woman is dying a senseless death but it’s not the health care system that did this.

        Dude, you can’t:

        here comes the straw man lol

        • Say the US healthcare system is worse than Canada’s

        it is, obviously, especially when you consider how few actually have access to healthcare and the millions that are bankrupted by US healthcare

        • Blame private interest for this being the case

        it’s literally an unnecessary middle man. you’re advocating for enriching private insurance companies with HUGE margins while they ghoulishly deny their customers life saving care.

        • Then use Canada’s public healthcare system doing something awful, as an example to prove this.

        you advocated for privatizing it. pfft.
