The article about Canada is for the option for folks to pay for private healthcare if they want to. It does not say anything about the public healthcare system in Canada failing.

Regarding the first two articles, the NHS is struggling just like the private American healthcare system is struggling. We’re barely a year out from a global pandemic.

The US pays more per capita for healthcare than any developed country in the world. And it’s not even close. A few links doesn’t change anything.

Give me 5 minutes and I'll post just as many articles saying the opposite. It's the Internet, it's easy to find confirmation bias.

Edit: only took me three minutes. It's wild, almost like different news sources are getting paid by different people to promote different agendas.

I used links to real articles! According to you that means you have to believe me and support universal health care now or you're just a reddit nephew.

Oh don't worry. He's one unexpected deductable away from wholeheartedly endorsing free public healthcare.

Exactly. The US med system may crush anyone who doesn't keep 500k+ ready for emergencies. Just don't have a crisis!
