Something I've noticed in my circle of acquaintances in the past six month is how many aren't pushing universal healthcare in the US. I think what has been happening up in Canada is part of the reason they've gone silent on the subject. As people have showed them articles about how Canada has shutdown basic medical services and they don't have a response to why that's so great. Especially since many of the people calling for universal healthcare have chronic health issues that largely is due to their own lifestyle choices. But Canada has shut off services they'd actually need if we had nationalized healthcare.
