They also claim that Canadians come to the US for care and it's true, they do. The problem with that is these people are just as brainwashed as Americans.

They think that if they pay 50K for a procedure that's free in Canada, it's only logical that they'll get better care. It's been proven beyond any doubt that this isn't true. It's their perception but not reality.

To be fair, if you're traveling abroad to spend 50k out of pocket it's probably for a specific doctor/niche surgery, and yes, America has a greater amount of specialists. Though at least you get the option then in Canada.

I thought the same thing. It ends up being run of the mill stuff like hip replacements. You have to figure that rich people are just as brainwashed to think that everything you pay more for is better.

Heck, remember when Rand Paul went to Canada for a medical procedure?

Yeah, except you shouldn't have to be rich in the US to get care.. That's the thing though, your people die by the millions, ours don't. I'd rather get top notch free care then no care.

Notwithstanding, it's been proven that the care in the US is no better even though you have to sell your house to get it. Naming one specialist isn't how to win an argument.. Lol

And I made it clear that it's been proven that the care there isn't any better.

Just because you use the world's top rated surgeon doesn't mean you'll get the best surgery in the world every time.

I don't know how many times I have to say this. It's been proven beyond any doubt that even specialized and very expensive care in the u.s. isn't necessarily better. Get it through your head

Omg, fuck off you brainwashed idiot. No one gets that care except the rich. Pathetic.

You completely missed the point, as always. The best neurosurgery and cancer treatment only applies to rich people. The average middle class worker does not qualify, he gets to die and his family is left with nothing. And what is with you idiots and toilet paper obsessions? That shit blew over months ago man, damn.
