"Universal Healthcare"
18 Month wait times followed by a conclusion that treating you will cost the system too much money so kill yourself.
MAIDS is the 6th leading cause of death in Ottawa IIRC. They started killing 12 year olds and people with depression.
The "Death Panels" argument during Obamacare was considered "Lie of The Year" a long time ago. However, I dare say the Left moved well the fuck past that. They don't even have panels. Doctors, nurses, therapists, and even crisis counselors will just recommended it outright.
Remember, the only reason Canadian health care isn't even worse, is because those who can afford to, go to the US so that they can get treated in a timely manner.
That's the case for almost all "socialized" medicine countries.
They get all their medical research done for them by the US, saving billions there, and then the rich just fly over to us our doctors anyway.
Like most things in the rest of the West, they can only have such "nice things" because big daddy USA is keeping them afloat in the background while they whine like the teenage girls they are about how much they hate us.
Ive read some countries, like finland have a pretty efficient system of both.

Shit man what I would do for something like this!!!
That is somewhat available in at least some areas of the US. My family pays a very low amount to a singular doctor's office for a "membership" that basically covers the cost of everything done in that office, and gives us priority access to visits (under 48 hours), and will then refer us to any specialist doctor for care above what they have which is then covered under our work insurances.
And we get to keep the same family doctor since we don't get passed around by "who's got the contract this year" so the guy knows us and will push through things for us.
I do think a lot of people have just accepted "its bad so it is what it is" and never truly explored the options available in a lot of America, because its often not as bad as it seems.
If Canadians didn't have the US, their health care would look like Britain.
A trip to Mars is how many minutes of NHS spending again?
I still remember Brits telling me it was a good thing their healthcare wait times were so long because it prioritized people into thinking about what they really needed. My brain broke from that.
Or, or, we could charge a fee, based on how much of a strain the service you want puts on the system.
Fuckin' retards.
If you don't discriminate by price, you must discriminate by something else. In this case, they Left chose discrimination by time.
I just read on reddit that someone was saying they couldn't cancel a dental appointment, even though they were sick, because at best they wouldn't be able to get another appointment for a year and at worst would be deregistered from their dentist and then have to spend 2 or 3 years to try find another NHS dentist.
For those who can't get a NHS dentist (and that's everyone not on the register now) the private dentistry system is based on a payment for service model. In other words, you pay upfront in full for everything with cash or debit card. No credit, no loan, no insurance. The dentist I go to will refuse any payment by credit card, they want to know you have the full cash amount upfront before they'll see you. Anyone who does have insurance has to wait until treatment has concluded before they can claim the cost back - insurers can not pay it upfront. This creates a barrier where only those who can afford treatment upfront can get it.
If universal and social healthcare systems fail, that's the system we will end up with. Leaked NHS Scotland documents and rhetoric from President Macron in France suggests that is the system they will implement if their systems fail. If you think the US healthcare system has its flaws, wait until that is implemented. In some way, if it isn't covered by the NHS, it already is in the UK.
Surely they were lying. I once saw a redditor post that they broke their leg, went to a hospital, got taken in immediately, got all fixed up, and left without paying a dime.
And because that one unverifiable post must be true, and because it only affected one person, then the entire NHS must be functioning properly and anyone who says otherwise is a liar and a literal hitler who thinks health care isn't a human right.
(/sarc, but I believe there are people out there who genuinely think like this.)
Im five years waiting for someone to explain to me what is happening with my parathyroid. Everyone keeps passing the buck, fucking pathetic.
I keep hearing about this free healthcare, but I have never really received it. Even when I was poisoned with refrigerant, instead of giving me beta blockers for the cardiac sensitization, i was given more, and more blood pressure medication. And when it did nothing the doctor simply says, you need to start taking your medication. I told that faggot I was taking it every day.
Doctors in canada do, say whatever they want, they are rarely held responsible for anything they say or do. Kinda pathetic really, I dont know how anyone trusts "doctors" here.
And it was like this long before immigration, long before I got poisoned. They have been systematically destroying the private healthcare so they can implement two tiered healthcare, which it pretty much already is.
Sure you go in with a amputated body part and they will fix you up, but with things that arent so apparent, like cancers, its fucking pathetic. If your deemed "worthy" of help, youll get it, if not tough luck.
When I worked for arca as a helper on the truck removing these old fridges and freezers from peoples homes in nova scotia, i heard a few stories of peoples loved ones dying from lack of medical services in the rural areas. They were awfully bitter about it too.
I cant even IMAGINE post covid, because I basically gave up trying to get help a year ago.
The leafmongers crow about their vaunted free healthcare, but "KILL YOURSELF NOW!" is a summary of their healthcare services.
They aren't openly euthanizing depressed people for being depressed. They have to have a physical health issue that will not foreseeably improve. If the issue won't improve because of depression, or poverty, or our medical system's failure, or you are refusing treatment, then the state will euthanize you.
We recently had a guy get out of the psych ward on a day pass and he went off and euthanized himself. On reddit, the crowd went wild and it was regarded by many as a triumphant exercise of self-determination. There is a death cult amongst liberals and many of them want this even for people who are currently being treated as threats to themselves and others.
I have been told that they have either conducted, or offered, euthanasia for people who have "incurable" depression. Not sure if that was misreporting, or if the government is pushing something before they say they've already been doing it.
