when you or your family member die in a waiting list.

All your philosophy and shallow responses like "not true" will go out the window in a second . You will understand what quality means when your family cannot have that life saving drug that's been available in USA for years or has to die early from cancer because they couldn't get radiation in time.

Ofcourse any troll can pretend on the internet that they will sacrifice their child to cancer wait times because their healthcare system is objectively better .



Stop strawmanning. I already acknowledged Canada's system needs to be better.

Waitlists can be solved. A system that is fundamentally discriminatory can't.

I'm glad you got the care you needed, but in order for you to get that care several others were discriminated against and denied care. That's a failure of the system. No matter how good the care you got was, the system failed.


i mentioned characteristics of each system that are superior to other. A perfect system would be the best of both. I have family in UK that travels to india to get lutetium 177 ( a prostate cancer drug) privately because it has not been approved in NHS. A FDA approved drug that's been SOC for PC in USA for past 3+ years( even to medicare, not just saudi princes like someone else suggested). USA subsidies rest of the world by paying for drug research and getting first dibs in return.

You are responding with childish troll responses like "not true" "can be solved" and feel no need to justify with any logic or stats. I regret engaging with you in good faith (shouldve checked your post history).
