[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d rather live in any of those places than here. The universal healthcare alone would be a relief. [/quote]

Exactly. [/quote]

a relief from what, available heatlhcare and quality? Yes it may be expensive but remember we make like twice the amount of europe and its doesn't cost as much comapred to the taxes on income. [/quote]

Available healthcare? What are you talking about? You think there aren’t LONG waitlists in the US?[/quote]

Autism evaluation for your child is a two year waiting list min. in the DMV. Excluding the long waitlist for services there after. 1 in 5 kids now need mental health evaluation/ support. [/quote]

LOL, good luck with that under universal healthcare. In some places they barely even recognize autism properly.

You all seem to have no perspective on what true long term waitlists and government triage look like. I have a friend who severely tore a muscle from a major sports injury, and because Canadian healthcare considered it “non urgent,” they put him on a six month waitlist for surgery. By month two he was already in a lot of pain and kept going back and forth trying to get help, but they just kept giving him pain medication and telling him to wait. At that point it was starting to get concerning, so he finally drove across the border to the U.S. and paid out of pocket to have the surgery done.

Unfortunately, by then it had already started healing incorrectly, and he now has permanent limited function in that muscle and can never play that sport again. If it had been addressed right away, he likely would have had a real chance at a full recovery.

People get frustrated with private healthcare denying claims, and yes, that absolutely happens, but at least there are appeals, alternative providers, and options. Under fully government run systems, you wait for the government, and they are often not accountable and move very slowly.[/quote]
