If someone told you that you currently pay $6,551 per person to receive completely covered full healthcare, and if you become a state your healthcare goes up to $12,555 per person and you will have to pay for your appointment, the first $5,000 before anything is covered and if the issue is bad enough you will pay the overhead. Also drugs prices are way higher, so get ready for those as well.
Would you vote for that?
those numbers are 2022 Canada/U.S. per capita costs for healthcare. Doesn't include the private sector costs added in for the U.S.
WAIT, that doctor isn't in your network, sorry.. you went to the wrong emergency room. I know you were unconscious but have fun sorting out which surgeons, MRIs, equipment, room fees, ambulance fees, personal trainers were covered.
Ontarians and Albertans are already voting for Conservatives to dismantle their healthcare, and Canadians are about to vote in the furthest right Conservative federal government ever. As a wise man once said, people like Coldplay and voted for Hitler. You can't trust people.
I really must not know enough about Coldplay... Lol. Straight up there with Hitler... Shit. And here I just thought they played music like Coheed and Cambria. Then again I can't name any of their songs either.
That all depends on what some hacky wannabe-comedian meathead douchebag says about it between ads on his podcast. /s
I'm afraid that's a trick question these days. I thought that was all pretty well handled up till this last election...
I'm not sure how that's relevant to my comment
Our cancer would include that. So if Canadians had our cancer they would vote for that. Which I don't think they have fallen that far.
I said it's spreading, not that it's already equal.
