No. I just acknowledge reality.
Wow! Really! That never happens elsewhere in the world!
You're pathetic. Because we HAVE healthcare, and it's not like the Americans, well, that's good enough for you! People dying in ERs waiting to see a doctor? Dying at home waiting months or years in pain to see a specialist? People killing themselves because they can't get medical care? Millions unable to get a family doctor? The worst wait times in the OECD?
Good enough.
It didn't cost us anything personally! Only through taxes!
Good enough.
You and your complacency are what's ruining this country.
Good enough. It'll do. Ah, it's better than the Americans (not even true anymore).
This country is rotting away, sliding down the ladder as other nations pass us by, and the complacent are just
"Ah, we're still better than Zimbabwe. So good enough."
I was in pain for months last year. All I needed was an injection. But they're only given by surgeons. And the surgeons had an 18-month wait for non-urgent cases. I called a fee-charging clinic in Montreal, got an appointment for two days later, had the shot ($1500), and went home and got better.
You have no idea and no interest in how many people all across this country are living in pain while they wait and wait and wait to get a consult with a specialist. But I hope one day you become one of them.
"Hey, I got a surgeon for free! I have to wait three years for the operation but... good enough!"
