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.
