Single payer is NOT working in Canada- the only thing they like about it is that its free.
But when they need actual care, they hate it. Look at many of the border hospitals- they have lots of Canadian patients who have the money to come to the USA for treatment.
Look, I’m not defending single payer. I’m only clarifying what was said. I don’t live in either country, so other than what I read - I have no way of knowing if it works well or not. I have to assume it doesn’t, but, as I said - I don’t live there. People read into things what they want - and that’s the problem with the media - they misinterpret what people say, and then readers misinterpret what they read. Cognitive skills are so lacking.

Several years ago I read Canadians who needed surgery were put on long lists so they came to the US to get the surgery they needed. I forget the US city they came to but it was one not far from the Canadian border. Their one payer medical does NOT work well. If Trump were put on a waiting list for surgery as the Canadians, you known damn well he would have flown somewhere in his plush airplane with 24 karat gold plated buckles on the seat belts, to get the surgery he needed and he would call the Canadian system a word in his usual style - “stupid”.
