So your favorite solution to that isn’t to fix that issue, it’s to privatize healthcare so you need to have private insurance instead? How do you think that will go, Mr I don’t have a fixed address? Why do you want to make sure more people have to deal with the same issue you’ve got?

Congratulations, under privatized/american style healthcare, you wouldn’t have health insurance, would pay more tax to the government for said lack of healthcare, AND if anything happens, you will have to pay 10x more! WOO, worst of both worlds!

Look at all these people making thr same tired fallacious arguments like they’ve been trained, bud. I’m not sure they’re even real people. Rag on Americans, bring up Scandinavian happiness, pretend out system works out of misguided patriotism, and ignore how I mentioned Mexico too.

Eh… So… About that first bit… I’ve got bad news for you buddy if you think that privatized healthcare is great and you think that Americans don’t pay way too much for it.

The US government is the one that pays the most per capita for healthcare, what everyone pays in taxes for healthcare is only used to cover about a third of the population, that means the rest also needs to pay for private insurance as well or they’re not covered at all and pay out of pocket when they need to go to the hospital.

Life expectancy, child death, death during labour, look at the stats, the US is worse than some very poor countries that offer healthcare for everyone.

Hell, if you pay taxes in Alberta then I’ve got news for you buddy, you’re paying fuck dick for healthcare. You’re ready to pay for private insurance in the USA instead of paying rent somewhere for a few months to have an address or finding someone that lets you use their address in order to apply for Alberta coverage? All that tells me is that you’re not one that lets logic get in their way!

I already have American insurance. Spend half my time there. I’m not in the habit of lying, it’s a pride thing. If I ever get hurt I’ll just cry to the cbc about it
