Canadian here who just brought my daughter to a clinic to be diagnosed with pneumonia. Within two hours she started taking her antibiotics. No costs. I am not sure what you mean about the horrors of universal health care. I am happy that my tax dollars go towards these services, even for those less fortunate than me

Yeah, its good for getting Flu medication, or basic care, but if you are Canadian then you should know very well the problems with backlog for receiving care for procedures that require much more than giving out antibiotics. I have family in Canada and know first hand issues faced from backlog, simple things like getting a broken elbow fixed which we can do in US within same week can take several weeks or even months in Canada, I was shocked to hear this, and many more like this...

If you aren't talking about it then it is only shows a bias, it makes no sense to converse with an approach like that. The problems with universal healthcare in Canada and many other countries is well known and most Americans say thanks but no thanks, our system has problems for sure, although the solution isn't the horrid single payer system in Canada and else.

Before the ACA, Americans with preexisting medical conditions could not receive insurance and if uninsured medical treatment and died. The backlogs you mentioned didn’t exist because the people would never receive the medical treatment. Were headed back in this direction for millions of Americans. I bet those Americans would still prefer the Canadian backlogs over knowing there is no medical care for them at all.

Denmark offers better opportunity and access than the US, honestly. They would he giving up universal healthcare for our sh*t show for starters. It isn't some third world country - we would be a step down for them.

You mean the same healthcare system which forcibly inserted IUDs in Greenlandic woman, many of whom wound up sterilized?

Would you be interested in a discussion of how the United States has treated Native American women in the healthcare realm?

Or African Americans

Shapiro would be worst.

Greenland will never be part of the US. The democrats have said if Trump invades or forces a merge the democrats will reverse it.

As a Canadian, I can tell you that nobody living in a rich country wants to be part of the sh$tshow called the US.

Who would want to be governed by a narcissistic psychopath with dementia?

Who would want to live is a country where brown people are grabbed off the street by masked ICE with no due process?

Who would want to live in a country where measles and whopping cough are making a comeback?

Who would want to live in a country where kindergartners must do active shooter drills?

Do you really think that is what Greenlanders want?

I agree with you, but also find it so strange how much Canadians are involved in the US. (Less now that the snowbirds are boycotting rhe US.) I grew up in the US north of Canada ( 😉 ). So many elders came for health care, while American elders went to Canada for prescriptions. So many entertainers ans news media folks are Canadian too. Heck, even a governor. I always found it strange. Canada is a great place.

Canadian here. Canadians and Americans are neighbors who share a language and whose cultures and histories are very similar. Of course people will cross back and forth across the border. There are lots of Americans in Canada too. They work here, study here, and marry Canadians and start families here. Nothing wrong with that.

Never said there was anything wrong. It is just strange that Canadians like coming here when things are better in Canada. My Canadian cousins are moving back there.

$100k per Greenlander? Why? The GOP refuses to even subsidize healthcare for Americans, but they are going to hand over money to Greenlanders?

Congress needs to wake up and get to work. The minority needs to stop whining about how they can’t do anything. There’s plenty they can do to slow down the GOP. They don’t have to make any of this easy for them.

$100,000 doesn't even cover the cost of a heart attack in America, much less cancer. Greenlanders would be idiots for exchanging the Danish system for the American system. Throw in education, pensions, social welfare, and on and on. Absolutely no one in a developed country would choose the American system for a $100,000.
