Canada

That's what happens when you have a premier who funnels the money for the hospitals into his buddies pockets.

The system is still functional if you are willing to be patient and not expect fast care for minor ailments. With private care if you can’t afford good insurance you’ll get no care or go bankrupt. As someone who was born and raised in the US and whose family is still there - you don’t want that nonsense

Let’s protect our system by voting in governments at the provincial and federal level (I’ve since become a citizen so I can say “we”) that want to restore and expand access to care and not hand it over to Manulife, Sun Life, Greenshield etc.

I think this is more of a US funded psyop to make people throw away free healthcare and adopt the american model.

I am happy with the healthcare I have, I'd be dead without it.

This is what happens when you vote in cons who destroy public institutions for private dollars and leave a trench so deep, no other party can fund our way out of it.

Ontario is still dealing with the Harris debacle and that was 30ish years ago. Now we have captain cankles who’s a cuck for loblaws and privatizing everything he possibly can for our OHIP to be spread thinner by being used at private for profit clinics at twice the cost of public services.

We need real leadership that doesn’t bend over to lobbyists and corporate dollars in private home based off the records deals.

Really? After so many years of loss of funding, cost-cutting, layoffs, political meddling and privatisation? I'm shocked. Flabbergasted I say.

If only the government actually wanted to care for the people it supposedly represents. :(

It's almost as if most MPs see their positions merely as vehicles for personal gain.

Of course the system has worsened. Like every other public service, it's stretched to the brink because we refuse to tax the rich enough to fund it properly.

All the public services are in crisis because the wealthy keep paying for politicians to neglect, defund or otherwise impoverish them.

Canada’s health care has been in a state of crisis since shortly before the Federal government offloaded governance of the system to the provinces.

The argument was that it let provinces handle healthcare in a way that was more regionally appropriate. The reality was that it spread the blame around between multiple provincial governments, and let Federal politicians evade responsibility.

No shit. Have you tried to get healthcare in the past decade?

Anything less than a fatal injury, or an illness that prevents you from working and therefore paying income tax, is ignored.

Only the healthcare?

Just hire another round of BCG/McKinsey and let them explain the best way to get more productivity from some already stressed doctors.
