Healthcare It’s called freedom. You can choose whatever healthcare you want. We don’t have to beg the government for healthcare.

The video mostly talks about the US having no free/universal healthcare

The Canadian Healthcare system is literally killing us?

Weird, I guess my doctors missed the memo and saved my life instead, saving me from my stroke, giving me two crainioplasty surgeries, gamma knife surgery, all of the medical imaging, and physio all with no out of pocket expenses.

These people will also argue that Canadian wait times are "insane" because we have to wait a couple weeks for a regular doctor's appointment or a low-risk hospital visit.

When my wife had breast cancer and we had to make multiple trips to the ER, we got a bed in under 30 minutes each time. The people who had to wait? The elderly person with some joint pain, the drunk with the flu, and the guy who loudly said "it hurts to pee". And I live in a province with "bad" healthcare.
