Meanwhile, the rest of the first world thinks it’s insane that you allow both of your political parties to continue preventing you from having basic nationalized healthcare. Now that’s a crime both parties have committed - but again, way more so republicans as at least Obama tried & May have done better if it weren’t for republican opposition.

Government health care likely results in broader yet, poorer, and less immediately available care.
Canada is infamous for their "waitlists" where people wait many months (years) for surgery.
Frustrated by long waits, some Canadians are heading to the U.S. for medical treatment.

"Waitlists" for like knee and hip surgery are unheard of in the US.
There are doctors everywhere ready to do surgery on you next week, *if you can pay*.
Canadian health care is brutal as to make these people wait months (years) in pain.
My local dentists won't take US government patients (Medicare) for the same reason. The US government doesn't pay enough.
People can’t wait for surgeries, but they don’t go bankrupt paying for them.
Also, people don’t get sick and die because they can’t afford to go to a clinic or an ER or pay an exorbitant ambulance fee.
Overall, on average, Canadians have better coverage than Americans at a lower price. There’s a reason that no other country on Earth aspires to copy the American healthcare system.

I really don't recall trying to inspire others. The US healthcare system is what it is. Those who don't like it should adapt or move.
Did you really not get my post?
The reason it isn’t copied is that it’s terrible and no one else wants anything like it.
Why wouldn’t Americans be want better basic care for all at lower prices? It boggles the mind.

Can't speak for Persephone or the Robot, but I'd like nothing more than the best healthcare that's either free or of a reasonable cost.
