Why would it be anyone else's choice?A single mother of two working tables in a restaurant shouldn't have to choose between the electric bill and seeing about the lump she has noticed in her breast.
Canada. Maybe. I'm not sure. I would literally have to figure out how much I pay in extra taxes and see if it's more or less than I pay now for Health insurance per month. But you were looking for the answer Canada, so I'll happily give it.So...in which country, the US or Canada - do more people have coverage and affordable healthcare....?
Your words: "me forcing us".How is me forcing us as a society to buy drugs collectively that won't cost you a dime forcing a choice on you/
I have no use or need for insulin. If you want to band together with other insulin users and buy in bulk for a better deal, go for it. I won't be part of your group.Why teh fuck wouldn't you buy insulin in bulk?
I'm a person, and I won't buy it either way. Same with tampons. If you need them, buy them. Don't force everyone else to.People will buy the insulin it's cheap.

You don't make the rules for the nation. That "christian nation" meme is a desperate attempt to virtue signal when you, as a typical liberal, have no virtues.Its the least that a "Christian" nation should do.

CBS News poll: Most Americans favor a national health plan
But most Americans still like the health insurance they currently have and do not want private insurance to be replaced by a public optionwww.cbsnews.com
For seven years I lived in a city near the Canadian border.
The waiting rooms in the doctor's office always had Cananadians that had come down to get medical care. They would rather pay for our care than to get whatever their government gave them for free.
Socialized medicine sucks.
And if the Dem politicians do impose socialized medicine on us ordinary people, you can be sure that they and their families will be going to private practitioners and hospitals.
No mixing with (the) hoi polloi for them!
(Can you imagine the Speaker of the House trusting her facial enhancements to a government-paid health worker?)
Canada has higher health metrics than the US... So "rationed" means all people get healthcare even by you own admission

Canada ranked third-last for health care among developed countries
A comprehensive new study of health care systems in developed nations has ranked Canadian health care near the bottom. Out of 11 countries, Can.www.kelownanow.com
Canada is ranked 9th out out of 11 developed countries for healthcare...not good.
The US is ranked 11th out of 11th. That's pretty bad.
And you guys bitch about Canada?
They're an aging society that doesn't have babies
yea but we should buy collectively so the bill is cheaper
tha't sthe important bit
Which is why Americans buy drugs from canadians, only 30 million of them and they're getting drugs cheaper than us because they're not retarded. Many of them american invented treatments
I would note here you CAN pay for your healthcare in Canada. You can go to a doctors office where you pay upfront.
I understand that. I also understand that they don't really seem to be enforcing that.I would note here you CAN pay for your healthcare in Canada. You can go to a doctors office where you pay upfront.

The Cambie Surgery Center, Canada’s most prominent private hospital, may be considered a rogue enterprise.
Accepting money from patients for operations they would otherwise receive free of charge in a public hospital is technically prohibited in this country, even in cases where patients would wait months or even years before receiving treatment.
Dr. Day, 59, says. “This is a country in which dogs can get a hip replacement in under a week and in which humans can wait two to three years.”
Canada remains the only industrialized country that outlaws privately financed purchases of core medical services.

Sorry, I have no interest in you forcing "us" to subsidize your poor health choices. Be a grownup and take care of yourself.

Inventing a new drug is expensive.
Manufacturing a drug is cheap.
The reason that a lot of U.S. drugs are cheaper in Canada is because the cheaper Canadian prices don't take into account the cost of inventing those drugs.
