Dont worry. Canada is fast tracking its way to deleting its free health care.

Same with the UK
Wtf why
Because the Conservative party has been in power for over a decade.
The NHS is a relatively large expense for the taxpayer so it upsets the "MORE TAX BAD" crowd and the poor exploitation opportunities inherent in a newly private healthcare sector excite the rich arsehole that are likely to be Conservative party donors.
I don't think it's a risk in the short term because it would be general election suicide but it's been boiling away under the surface the entire time.
The strategy is very similar to enshittification: just keep cutting as much as you can, and propping up private alternatives (and paying those with public funds to "help out" the publicly owned institutions you've been under-funding). Never ever keep the public wages competitive, or the staff levels reasonable. Deny every advancement that would make working for the good of the public the reasonable choice.
Keep robbing from the public coffers and giving the contracts to profit driven companies like that for a generation or two, and wouldn't you know it? The public system is in shambles, and barely worth paying for! May as well not bother with it.
PS. it's annoying but it's worth the struggle. It just sucks that it has to be a struggle.

Well look at US, there is insane amount of money to be made if you ignore the wellbeing of your citizens.
Idiots.

Australia's not far behind
Same in France
You don't understand - that would divert money AWAY from the richest and what's the point in that? There's enough prey for the rich that you don't have to worry about keeping them healthy (as long as nobody's allowed to teach them about birth control anyway).
Also from waging war in remote countries
We prefer the term "bring freedom and democracy" over "feeding foreigners and the poor to the arms industry", thank you.
How long until we don't have the fascist party stopping any progress?
At the rate we're going? Never.
I mean, hey, once society collapses we might go back to feudalism while the last few generations of humanity slowly suffocate on a scorched earth.
Both mainstream political parties in the US state are fascist in their relationship to capital and empire. We need our own organizations separate from the state that meet our needs and cannot be bought out.
There's a developed country that doesn't have universal healthcare?
Developed is subjective ;)
