remember that time canadian socialized medicine told a vet in a wheelchair that it would take too long to get the help she needs so wouldn't it be better if she just euthanized herself?

there's pros and cons to every system

edit: just to be clear, i agree nobody should have some insane medical debt from a broken arm. in american when i broke my arm i went to a private doctor and paid a couple hundred bucks. it was fine, not in the poor house over it.

  1. It wasn't "free" - you paid for it in taxes

  2. How are those wait lists going for you, which are currently being debated by your MPs?

  3. It's funny how y'all are shouting about this to Americans. Do you really think they aren't aware you have socialized medicine?

I can make an appointment with my doctor within 24/h, even faster in an emergency. And I pay 5€ for a visit.

A gastroscope appointment, also not an emergency, took less than a week. And it cost me 30€.

Belgium btw.

The reason we keep reminding you guys is because of people like you.
