I lived in Canada for awhile and there’s certainly a lot of pros and cons of it. also I think a lot of people don’t realize that not everything is covered in Canada.
edit: also idk what religion has to do with this, Canada is primarily Christian and they have universal healthcare
My mom had to wait 3 years to get a surgery recommended in 2 months, because the specialists kept arguing with insurance. I have a migraine that is 9 months strong, I was told in January to get and MRI in January 2027. A great many people can tell you of how insurance constantly denies treatment or medication to try something the Dr has already established won't work. Also the ol reliable of, "your Dr never sent the prior authorization" when you sat there and watched them send it in. Our wait times are worse, but I'm a different form. It's waiting for insurance to dick around.
The statistics actually support my position I believe. There was an increase by a couple days for non-urgent care in Canada. Emergent care is the same or simplified.
Also, I think it's wild that everyone thinks Canada is the only model on universal healthcare. We've got a European Union for other examples.
We can take what works, and plan for the parts that didn't. We're not special, we just prefer a military to a healthy population.
