I’m very sad and ashamed that 13 years after Norm pilloried our healthcare system in a daily comic strip, people are still dying from lack of care and going bankrupt, particularly in the midst of a global pandemic. Other nations with government-sponsored and tax-based healthcare systems have fared much better than we.
We already have a government program it is called Obamacare. Also, other countries are worse because of their long wait times. Due to lack of funding and too much for doctors to do. Also the lack of doctors and treatment options due to less money from the govenment.
But, wait, didn’t the recently former president continually claim he had a plan to fix Obamacare? He claimed his plan was “much better” and “the best health care plan in the history of the world.” Yet he never bothered to give any detail about the (-p-l-a-n-) scam, let alone submit a health care bill to congress.
Obamacare was a step in the right direction. And it has helped lots of people, including myself. However, a system like Canada or the UK has would be better.
Canada is NOT recommending that, only certain members of the population are and they are cut from the same cloth as human garbage like Stuart and Jerry.
I’m not so sure about that. I was told while living in British Columbia that breast biopsies were being deemed “elective” one summer because of money concerns. The techinician, noting that I was from the U.S. said if the second mammogram showed anything I should get my butt down to the U.S. for the biopsy.
I have pen friends in England who have private insurance because getting a necessary procedure (think something to do with the heart) means being on waiting list for months.
I have friends in the UK. They do not have long waits or lack of doctors in that country overall. (it is, however, the case in some more rural areas). I cannot speak to other countries, but Obamacare is nothing like the universal healthcare in the UK. It actually works.
See my comment above. I’ve had English pen friends write that without private insurance they would have to wait months for procedures. One pen friend noted that her mother needed something done to her heart and she was on the waiting list for 6 months.
there are waiting lists for organ transplants EVERYWHERE. You know why? Because there aren’t enough organs, whether they be artificial, donors, or animal.
You know how you sometimes hear “oh, this person has a rare blood type, that’s not good”? That’s because not everyone is the same, someone might have to be on a waiting list for a long time because they are one of the lucky ones to have a rare need. It is pointless to give them any old transplant because their body will reject it and they’ll be back where they started.
It also doesn’t help that in the UK successive Tory governments have done a splendid job of eroding NHS to the point where people believe their lies that “public doesn’t work, private is the way to go”

Canada is now recommending euthanasia.
