Medical debt is an eminently more solvable problem than death or permanent disability. This is not a defense of America's fucking criminal private medical system, but this is absolutely a valid lesser of two evils situation here.
You can always seek todo like me and many other people born in 3rd world and migrate to 1st world country.
If you're in US I hear Canada is a great place to move to, and easy too. I hear they have the freedom of good cheap healthcare. I would trade the freedom to have Nazis with that any day.
Depends on where in Canada.
Yes it’s free.
In Toronto you’re looked after and it’s the dream.
In Quebec a doctor will happily step over you if you don’t speak French.
In BC: sure, the medical is free. But good luck finding a doctor.
And in the small print: Oh but actually they don’t see teeth or eyes as a real issue that gets covered. If you need a root canal just take an advil. Forever.
Canada's national defense, GDP, and import/export economies are completely reliant on USA. Living in that shadow should scare Canadians, because if USA decides one day "you know what? Fuck Canada", there's literally nothing they can do to defend themselves if the entire might of US military and economic power is imposed. It's like having an unhinged wealthy gun-nut neighbor living in the flat right next to you.
There's not a lot most people could do if the USA decided to impose the entire might of their military and economic power.
Then how did Vietnam and Afghanistan get away with it?
What I got from you is: us peepee big. China peepee bigger but they're commies. Everyone else peepee small.
I honestly did not have penis on my mind constantly like you seem to have, but if you asked me, I think the South Koreans have the biggest cocks, rather.
Yum
With the exception that US military is comprised by many Canadians(Eg NORAD) in a deal that they don’t do exactly that. The ‘US’ military will easily be halved by a chunk of it killing the other for even suggesting it.
Too true, I would gladly go into debt to see a Fucking Doctor.
