how bad is the Canadian Healthcare system? Could it work in the US? Would there be long wait times or is that a conservative myth?

They're seething because Trump is going to allow importation of Canadian drugs and they're already having massive shortages. Fuck Canada.
Nicholas Ramirez
allowing importation doesn't mean we will allow the export user =)
Eli Campbell
Think you have a choice?
Jacob Brown
yeah, because we can just require proof of residency before filling out a prescription =) you can buy insulin without a prescription for now but only because we have enough for ourselves. but if the time comes that americans are buying insulin en masse, we can revert it back to a script only drug.

And we can just blockade Canada

It’s okay depending on which hospital you go to. Emergency has long wait times tho and sometimes it’ll take months for you to get an appointment with a certain specialist. However it all depends on how serious your problem is. Obviously if you’re having a heart attack, you’re going to be served first.
Josiah Moore
One of the reasons our wait times are so long even when compared to Europe is because you poach our doctors so while waiting might increase its hard to say

I drive about 30 mins to Toronto buy my contacts. Costs me like $30, but here in the states similar contacts cost me like $75

Just take the money you just give to insurance companies and use it to make a publicly owned and run solid enough healthcare which you can buy at national level bulk at. Multi-payer universal healthcare is the worst of both worlds.
And you can do that no worries, you spend more public money on health care per capita than basically anyone else already.
Then you have a base line, if the private sector gets out of line which they will because collusion exists and services which you need to live and can need instantly at any time being for profit and self-regulating is insane, then people will switch back to basic public healtcare.

These. I'm talking about like a 6 month supply or more

how do other countries prevent this

Do you want our bite, bro?

Canada's health care system isn't really that public. Most of our hospitals are run as non profits that bill people, who use their provincial healthcare as payments. Clinics are completely private and do the same thing.
Wyatt Russell
In Canada if you get cancer you die.
Jayden Martin
Wasn't there a law or something that made it illegal to force people into the single payer system and allow for private insurance or something to that effect? Help me out here.
Henry Cruz
No, Canada's healthcare system is not all inclusive. People still have to pay for basic eye care(unless you need surgery), long term prescriptions(price controlled and may be made part of all provincial plans if libs win again), non emergency dental. We still have insurance for shit like that sometimes and through a lot of jobs. I guess you could try and ask the hospital to bill you directly, but they won't give you anything extra or preferential, so only a brainlet would do that.
Ayden Morris
Not the different from America

Tough talk from a guy that can't afford dentist. Fix your own shit before leeching others.

>Would there be long wait times or is that a conservative myth?
yes, emergency services get priority so if you're in a car crash they'll stabilize you in the emergency room, but if you need 20 stitches you can end up waiting 10 hours

there's no singular law, every province has their own system, and provinces have the right to charge premiums
the government limits provinces from having private options by giving them less money if they do
we don't limit cancer treatment, but delay cancer detection
there's other things like treatment is usually only in 1-2 cities per province and you have to show proof of funds that you can live there for the treatment, so if you don't have 10-20k to show you can live for 4-6 months in vancouver or toronto you can be denied

The long wait times aren't a myth, but it only applies to certain types of healthcare. For instance, in my area, you might have to wait up to a year to see an ENT, but you can see a regular physician with less than a week's wait.

>but if you need 20 stitches you can end up waiting 10 hours
Same thing here.

The healthcare system is good overall, but if you're very rich in America you're better off in America.
However, because of our perpetual inferiority complex, Canadians think that Canada's healthcare is flawless and the best in the world. In reality, it's consistently ranked around 20-30 in the world, behind Taiwan and South Korea - fellow single-payer countries.
Ryan King
France has a better healthcare system than C*nada.
NHS is also better.
Jaxon Richardson
Yes, but changing the healthcare system in Canada is political suicide even though I wish they did.
Best case scenario is to compare ourselves to Taiwan and South Korea and see what they're doing that makes their healthcare system so much more efficient.
Elijah Lewis
cant compare them to south korea and taiwan. they don't have to deal with fucking drug addicts and their parasitic relationship with healthcare.
