If there is one thing Canadians love more than anything else, it is claiming moral superiority over the US in terms of health care. It is ingrained in almost every Canadian that our health care system is supposed to be better in every way to the US, and so Canadians love to take every opportunity to virtue signal about matters relating to health care to "flex" on the US.
The only other explanation is the Liberals bankrolling the media and trying to scare people to keep their prime faggot in power.

Which makes all the stories about Canadians travelling to the USA for private care all the better.
The last time I saw a thread on Reddit about this some of the stories involved:
Earlier appointments - a big one in terms of catching things which might get worse
Faster diagnoses - when private healthcare is throwing mountains of cash at MDs and specialists it ends up being like an episode of House where whatever is wrong will be figured out and fast.
Actual treatment - because again mountains of cash actually get thrown at what is needed to fix shit rather than being put on yet another waiting list to maybe see someone months down the line or wait for some piece of tech to get fixed because the budget for it is so underfunded it never works
Meanwhile the poor Canucks will still be waiting for an appointment while whatever is wrong with them might be about ready to kill them, but hey at least they can lord over the Yanks about how their healthcare is free while they drop like flies because the actual treatment takes far too long.
Those kind of threads don't last very long in the more active subreddits, to the surprise of fucking nobody here.
My grandfather, who is close to 90, is currently in a year long wait to see a specialist to assess the health of his brain. Not that he is doing badly or anything, but at such an age things can go from perfectly fine and livable to being thrown on your deathbed in a matter of days.
I recently waited several hours to see a doctor for an issue I've had recently, who basically just told me to take some drugs and didn't think to refer me to get scans done or think it was anything more serious than something that will pass in a few days. If this problem in fact does not get resolved, I'm going to have to spend another several hours again to see a doctor to get a referral, and deal with that entire process of waiting my turn in line.
Canada is an absolutely atrocious example of socialized health care. There are other countries that aren't this bottom of the barrel and function to at least some degree, but because both American and Canadian leftists have an NA-centric view of the world, you generally only ever hear leftists try to sing praise of Canada's health care system.
See this is the weird thing, in terms of vaccine, it seems like EVERY OTHER Western country ditched caring about it.
Ironically the UK seemed to lead the charge on this, which is why its baffling it's STILL an issue enough to get an article in Canada.
