The transition begins...

Shocking that Canada would allow the evil systematic misogynist capitalist racist homophone climate change form of big medicine across its border. Especially when they have the most secure popular pantshitting free healthcarez of all timez. How dare they steal our dreams.

" the surgeries and tests will continue to be paid for by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan"

That there is the crucial difference.

For now...

People will love private insurance and will keep wanting it.

More medical procedures at private clinics paid through their national health insurance.

Can you afford to pay private health insurance for your family?

reply

A lot of people just think they can pay insurance premiums and that it
guarantees they have good insurance, until they actually have to use it.

Every year about 530,000 families file for bankruptcy due to healthcare bills.

Right-wingers never fail to illustrate their lack of understanding about so many subjects, including even simple math.

There's no other way to view their inability to comprehend that having 5% deducted from their paychecks to go DIRECTLY to a universal health program would be better than what they're currently doing....having 15% deducted from their paychecks to INDIRECTLY pay private insurance companies to shop for them for a health program.

They've obviously been gaslighted to the point that the concept of 'cutting out the middle man' can no longer even occur to them. Sad.

We have socialized medical care in the US, we even call it Medicare like they do
in Canada. Ours is only for seniors, and could easily be expanded to cover all
Americans.

Every country's health care system has taken a hit after 2 years of Covid because
of worker burnout, low pay, and increased demand.

You don't even make a point, you just post a comment and assume your Right-
wing nut buddies will freak out when they see LEFTISTS in the title.

sadly america is socialist, socialism is the intervention of the state in the economy, taxes, regulation and using the welfare state, a redistibution of wealth. capitalism is a free market, free of these things.

when people say america is capitalist, or any part of the "west" like europe, they are really saying "we're not so radical like these banana republic latin american socialist states"

america has socialism, it has socialized healthcare, thats why it's had to print money to pay for things the tax payer can't, and therefore inflation.

Everyone is still covered right? Looks like they are just tweaking their system.
