There’s a nearly 100% correlation between what percentage of someone’s profile is the word “truth” and what percentage of what they have to say is just far-right propaganda.
Canada and the UK have shown that bad things happen to their health care systems when those systems are chronically underfunded by conservative governments.
Many older Canadians can still remember the days when Canada had a US-style health system. Nobody wants to go back to it (except a handful of — usually rich — nutcases).
Some years back, my sister — living in England — had her first colonoscopy. Results not good. The doctor arranged an appointment a couple of weeks later for a CAT scan. Results not good. Two or three weeks later, she had surgery. There were some complications and it was a while before she was fully recovered, but thanks to the fast action, now she’s fine.
She didn’t have much money — being an unexpectedly-single mother will do that — and she was freelance so she didn’t have an employer for backup. So there was no way she could have *bought* her way to the head of the line. Had she been living in the US instead of England, she’d probably be dead.
“Medical assistance in dying” (that’s the buzzphrase) has been legal in Canada for nearly eight years, actually. It comes with a number of restrictions and requirements (and could perhaps use one or two more); most of the scare stories circulating about it are just stories.
D: Socialized, as it should be how any competently run industrialized nation.
Because rationed healthcare and hoping people die before treatment starts is awesome!
But that’s not the reality for any of the countries with socialized medicine.

Ain’t far right when Canadians and England have shown how horrible their healthcare can get.

Dude, you can’t use the excuse of conservative governments to scrapegoat a shitty system.

And now your government is considering euthanasia.

Sure, they are. And I’m the queen of Sheba.
