“What America is all about” is weak social programs that make this necessary. How sad.

Definitely. In my European country you can apply for transport for your bloodwork or any examination if you have a long term sickness like cancer. I'm happy to pay social security taxes to allow for that

Yes, in Canada they would send a nurse straight to your home to help. Same thing.

Jupp, I heard you can't get treatment. They only have bureaucrats that manage the queues that go on forever.

True story.

I know maga Canadians who actually believe this. And they aren’t even rich!! At least if they were rich it might make sense.

The one I know, my MIL, uses all manner of social services due to having no income and also has health problems. For some reason she thinks she would afford a healthcare concierge if Can switched to the US system, instead of the reality that she would probably be completely uninsured.
