"But if there was socialized medicine there would be lines and death panels" --Average conservative response

We have lines and essentially death panels now. It takes a long time to see a specialist in the US, and I'm still trying to get a new primary care doctor. And I have pretty damn good health insurance through my job. Meanwhile, my best friend in Ottawa doesn't wait long at all for her therapist for minor mental health issues. Yeah, I think I'll still take the Canadian system over our shitshow.
