My wife is Canadian (and now American).
When people learn where she was from, they often say “it must be nice to have free health care.”
She calmly educates them on what “free” really means with taxes but more importantly what socialized health care means as in this episode.
We have first hand stories galore about friends and family that suffer at the expense of “free” health care.
I’ll take U.S. healthcare over Canada’s any day, but unfortunately we ARE competitive with them in the “absurd ED wait times” category.
Steady flow of Canadians from Ontario mainly who fly across Lake Erie to Cleveland Clinic and pay long green out of pocket for the .privilege. Don’t want to wait for 6 months for a CT scan.
