“What's the difference between the American and the Canadian health-care systems?
In the U.S., if your daddy gets sick; you lose the house.
In Canada, if your daddy gets sick; you inherit the house.”
LOL!
How about:
In Canada - the left panders to Muslims.
In America - the left gets Muslims elected to the White House.
What’s the difference between the American and the Canadian health-care systems?
In the U.S., if your daddy gets sick; you lose the house.
In Canada, if your daddy gets sick; you inherit the house.
They make jokes like this because their propaganda organs constantly tell them, “Surely, our system may seem slow and unresponsive, but Americans dedicate a whole lot more of their GDP to healthcare, so who’s worse off?” What they don’t tell them is what Americans get in return for paying more. How much more capital, expert labor, and new inventions Americans have to pull from. Or what our life-expectency, standard-of-living, etc. would be without some measure of freedom.
The U.S. health care system is already heavily constrained by government rule and regulation, separating the customer from the provider.
As we move even further away from the free market, health care will become worse. Politicians and small political interest parties will win; everybody else will lose.
And as the U.S. moves closer and closer to a Canadian style health care system, Canada will move closer and closer to no health care. Canada can afford a nationalized health care system because it is built from the crumbs falling of the U.S. healthcare table.
