Yes, same in Canada.
The DISTINCTION is between ‘health coverage’ and ‘health-care’.
A few years back, a Canadian was interviewed anonymously as he had come to Seattle for medical treatment. He was asked why he didn’t simply get the treatment he needed in Canada. He said he couldn’t wait and he had the means to get it done with a short trip across the border.
He was asked then about his view of the Canadian universal healthcare single-payer system. He said, “It’s great!” He was asked again why he was in the USA, didn’t he have coverage for his condition in Canada? He said, “Oh yeah! I’m covered for everything in Canada! Every Canadian has complete health coverage.”
Care vs. Coverage.
He was then confronted with his illogic. He finally admitted after he was ensured his identity would be kept a secret that no one dares say anything against the socialist healthcare system in Canada else the power of the state will come down hard you.
Socialist healthcare is a pillar for controlling the population. It’s not about health, it’s about control, about ‘compliance’, ‘obedience’, subordination.
Oh, please.
I guess Dudley Do-Right is going to show up in jack boots and drag him to the gulag.
As Milton Friedman once observed, "If there ain't any, nobody gets any."
