My insurance is included in my taxes. I pay NOTHING out of pocket, except an annual copay of $100 for drugs. If I'm poor, I can even apply to have that waived.
Yep, life is wonderful in Canada...dumbass.
'Free' Health Care in Canada Costs More Than It's Worth
Canada is a Democracy. If Canadian healthcare is so terrible, why don't the Canadian people choose to privatize it?
Once a system is set up like this, it is very difficult to disassemble. Even O'care, which is a limited socialized medicine scheme is like a bad penny as people start depending on the new, wasteful bureaucracy for jobs.
If the Soviet Union could be desocialized, certainly the Canadian Healthcare system can be - EXCEPT for the fact that the Canadian people are very happy with it.
People in the SU are too but the wealthy ones go to private and cash pay hospitals. Their care is 10000x better than the state hospitals.
They didn't have private healthcare in the Soviet Union - none whatsoever.
