What does "coming to Canada soon" mean? Is there an impending change in the system? Or is it the certainty that public health can't possibly work because the USA is the only major industrialized country that doesn't want it?
The public health system here in Canada is very broken and the politicians have been pushing to move towards a more privatized system like the US. It's only a question of time before we get the same problems. Here in quebec my wife has had to get a private doctor because she simply couldn't see a doctor in the public system anymore.
Good luck with that. I have good insurance in the US and am having to schedule routine appointments 3 months in advance. During my last routine checkup I told my doctor there were several things I wanted to ask him about, and he said something to the effect that we only had 12 minutes but we'll see how much we can get through. Wtf? I think the problem is that most doctors are corporate employees now. Similar to being public employees but with CEO bonuses and shareholder profits.
From what I've seen on here, there are some areas where the same bullshit brainrot has started taking hold
It has in the UK too, but that doesn't mean it'll go anywhere, or that there is a risk of the system changing. There's always going to be angry shouty people who are being angry and annoying because they're not getting what they want.
But they all insist on being as hard right and as fascist as possible, which works in the US with it's broken system, but probably isn't viable anywhere else.
I hope and want to believe you're right. I don't know enough to tell either way. I'm worried to see the right-wing brainrot spread over here in Germany too, but maybe I'm just alarmist.
It’s a sentence from the point of view of the person at the doctors (or of the original poster relating with that person) implying an imminent move to Canada.
Too bad the person doesn't know dental isn't covered in Canada.
