Ok so that doesn't happen in the USA?

I really hope the federal government doesn't "nationalize" dentistry. Right now if I need care I can get it. Other than emergencies I'm to fuck off under the current regime. The doctors have left. They dicked around for 2 years over a customers prostate cancer now it's spread, he'll be dead this time next year.
Why did you change the subject just now after I provided misdiagnosis numbers in the USA?
I didn't. The part on topic was in the second half.
You did, I showed that misdiagnosis happen in the USA as well, you just started talking about your anecdote again without addressing the fact that it might as well have happened in the USA.
It didn't happen in the USA genius.
But it does happen in the USA as well, that's the whole point! You're pissed because of your anecdote so you ignore the fact that 800k families have the same anecdotes in the USA!
Those 800k other anecdotes didn't happen because government policy chased all.the doctors out of the country leaving us with the bottom of the barrel stressed out to the nines. Can't get a doctor now If I want one, had to basically bribe a nurse to get my class one medical done. Nurses, nurse practicioners and pharmacists can do that, now, btw, government realized truckers not being able to see doctors to get government mandated medicals was counter productive.
Still dodging! The point still stands, medical mistakes still happen in the private system across the border, you're blaming the public system because you're angry at it so you keep ignoring that the same thing could have happened in the USA (and a big part of the blame for your personal situation goes to you in fact, maybe it's because you know it but can't accept it that you're so angry, you should get that looked into, good news, psychologists are mostly operating privately... Funny how access to one is a major issue though 🤔)
Yes you are dodging, instead of recognising that the same situation could have happened in the USA you're changing the subject and acting like it's ok that it happens in the USA because it's not related to government policies, to you those 800k misdiagnosis are ok because they happened in the private sector so we can ignore them because your opinion isn't based on facts, it's based on your feeling that the government is bad.
Oh so now per capita is important but it's not for how much is spent on healthcare per capita?
I've got another number for you... 28k
https://www.rcinet.ca/en/2019/10/28/thousands-die-from-medical-errors-yearly-notes-advocacy-group/
USA: 800k for 330m = 2.4/1000
Canada: 28k for 37.5m in 2019 = 0.75/1000
So tell me now, where do we see the most deaths per capita due to bad diagnosis? Do YOU understand what per capita means?
